The National Enquirer endorsed Trump a few weeks ago. In December of last year, New York Magazine reported that Trump and CEO David Pecker have been friends for years. Trump tweeted in 2013 that Pecker should be CEO of Time Magazine.
So as we cast aspersions on Cruz because a PAC trashed Trumps wife, we also need to honestly question the connections between Trump and the source of this story.
I for one, will wait to see what happens, and what eventually comes out after the dust of advocacy settles.
If Cruz has control over the anti-Trump PAC, then Trump has control over the National Enquirer CEO.
I don’t want to have this controversy spread, because it will inevitably lead to the publication of nude photos of Hillary.
So Trump is responsible for the National Enquirer outing John Edwards, Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson, Tiger Woods?
I think your logic might be a little thin there. Trump does not have control over the NE, and the NE stands in jeopardy if their reporting is not truthful. Whereas PACs traffic in lies.
TRump is a pecker head that thinks he can buy power with Pappys money
With all due respect, Cruz has marketed himself as a man of God. His testimony is on YouTube. He has worn his faith on his coat sleeve. Pictures are all over the internet of Cruz with his hands raised in prayer. Many here stated they could not vote for Trump because he was divorced and he had affairs in the past...I will point out all those Trump activities occurred in the distant past—prior to his most recent relationship and marriage of more than 10 years to Melania.
Being a Christian to many if not most is tantamount to honesty, integrity, and character. Cruz has had pastors in Iowa pray over him. He has spoken at Churches. His father has called him the anointed one and stumped at churches for Cruz. Glenn Beck has accused anyone not voting for him of not being a true Christian...among other things.
So to me, frankly whether or not Trump is friends with the CEO of National Enquirer is really not relevant. As a Christian who has been maligned for not supporting Cruz on this forum, I am particularly interested in the veracity of this story.
BTW, I think if Trump truly had control of the story release, it would have come out a lot sooner when it could have swayed Iowa, Idaho, Utah, and some of the Bible belt states such as Oklahoma to be wins for Trump.
