Donald Trump’s Alliance With the National Enquirer

Old news, sorta....>snip<

...Now, as Carson overtakes Trump as the GOP front-runner, it appears Trump is getting help from a media outlet known for ending presidential candidacies: the National Enquirer. Earlier this month, the Enquirer published a cover story on Carson headlined “Bungling Surgeon Ben Carson Left Sponge in Patient’s Brain!” The article called Carson a “White House wannabe” and claimed he “brandished a scalpel like a meat cleaver!” It went on to quote angry former patients saying he botched surgeries that left them disfigured and in pain; one patient who sued Carson said he forgot to remove a surgical sponge from her brain after a procedure. “His presidential campaign should be dead on arrival!” Enquirer reporter Sharon Churcher wrote.

Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker have been friends for years. “They’re very close,” said a source close to the Enquirer. In July 2013, Trump even tweeted that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine, which at the time was being spun off from its corporate parent, Time Warner. “He’d make it exciting and win awards!”

This person also said that Trump’s campaign was a source for the article: “His campaign provided information that was used,” he explained. A Trump friend said that in the days leading up to the article’s publication Trump was telling people that Carson “had a lot of medical malpractice suits” and “almost killed a guy.”

As much as Cruzbots fret over this garbage, they sure keep it going! Better for them to tangle over this he said/she said then face the reality you state.

Teddy = amnesty - no if ands or buts about it.

Cruz needs slandering. He is trying to hoodwink Americans into believing he is eligible when he is
NOT NBC. He is sleaze.

Cruz needs slandering.

Would you say that about anyone you don't like? How about if someone treated you that way?

I am not a thin skinned hypocrite. Sticks and stones, etc.....
Cruz is a liar, cheat, and GLOBALIST. The latter is the one that counts. He pretends to be an American Constitutionalist when in fact he votes for the dissolution of American Sovereignty. i can’t stand him!

It is only slander if what you say is untrue.

No one needs slandering; the premeditated defamation of their character.

Thanks for playing!

His “Character” is nonexistent. He is revealed as the lying POS he is.

If you are in favor of slandering people, so is yours.

+I am in favor of revealing the lack of character of the lying, cheating, slime ball who is pretending to be eligible for the presidency of the United States. He is a Globalist, bought and paid for. Suckers like you continue to ignore overwhelming evidence that he is NOT a “Conservative.” Play your petty little wimp games and don’t think calling me names will amount to anything whatsoever.

That's okay. We feel the same about Trump supporters.
