Former Enquirer employees who spoke to the AP said that negative stories about Trump were dead on arrival dating back more than a decade when he starred on NBCs reality show The Apprentice.
In 2010, at Cohens urging, the National Enquirer began promoting a potential Trump presidential candidacy, referring readers to a pro-Trump website Cohen helped create. With Cohens involvement, the publication began questioning President Barack Obamas birthplace and American citizenship in print, an effort that Trump promoted for several years, former staffers said.
The Enquirer endorsed Trump for president in 2016, the first time it had ever officially backed a candidate. In the news pages, Trumps coverage was so favorable that the New Yorker magazine said the Enquirer embraced him with sycophantic fervor.

The Trump/Cohen/Pecker shenanigans go back a long way! Now I know why Cohen was called The Fixer.
