Multiple well-placed sources within the tabloid empire said the old boss is still calling the shots from retirement, and still helping his now-ex presidential pal.

Here’s a question for the supermarket tabloid publisher formerly known as American Media Inc.: Is that a Pecker in your pocket or are you still hot for Trump?

Yellow journalism purveyor and Donald Trump acolyte David Pecker ostensibly retired as chairman and CEO of the National Enquirer’s financially strapped parent company last August when AMI changed its name to A360 Media as it was being acquired by a marketer of face masks, hand sanitizer, gloves, disinfectant wipes, and vitamin supplements. But he has, allegedly, remained very much in the saddle.

The revelation comes amid mass layoffs across A360 Media’s titles—which also include Star magazine, OK!, Globe, Examiner, In Touch, Us Weekly and Life and Style—with significantly curtailed severance packages being offered to a fired workforce that already took a 23-percent pay cut last March, when the COVID-19 pandemic began affecting print-media bottom lines.

2. I think if we opened his safe we would answer the question of why so many have supported him.

Graham, Rubio,Cruz etc. have all done a complete 180 on trump, when we know their first assessment of this man was correct. And they haven’t really gotten anything out of it. The only explanation is blackmail. Remember Michael Cohen talking about all that stuff in David’s safe?

9. I would honestly prefer

Death penalty, if law allows, for convictions. That way, he would suffer greatly while appeals played out & NO future repuje could pardon him.
