“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!'”
Here is the Donald’s tweet from 2013:
.@TIME Magazine should definitely pick David Pecker to run things over there – he’d make it exciting and win awards!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2013
Did you read the article? It clearly said that this was generated by op research done by the Rubio team see #theThing. Whether or not Trump is friends with the CEO of NE is irrelevant and is nothing more than a weak attempt at deflection.
So if not Trump to blow the lid on Cruz, do you really think Hillary’s people wouldn’t have found the dirt on Cruz?
