It may seem like I’m exaggerating, but this is a literal list: every single National Enquirer cover since Halloween — and most of the covers since last summer — have praised Trump, attacked the Clintons, attacked the Obamas, or some combination therein.RNC press releases tend to be more subtle in their praise.As we talked about a few weeks ago, Trump has gone out of his way to praise the National Enquirer, saying the tabloid “should be very respected” and deserves “Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting.”Evidently, the affection is mutual.
