The National Enquirer is indeed a tabloid and as such there are various grains of salt that should be applied when reviewing anything they present.
However, that said, they have been unfortunately accurate for more than a few presidential hopefuls: Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson and John Edwards to name a few of the more infamous examples.
Beyond the story itself theres a few presenting elements which point to a high degree of confidence, and as a consequence legal avoidance, on the publishers part.
Firstly, they post pictures of the collective mistresses. NE would never legally go there if they did not hold a very reasonable certainty the outlined players were factually part of the story.
Secondly, theres at least one face in the group that is easily identifiable.
When you accept the NE editorial/legal requirement for research and attributed comment prior to publication, you recognize there is more than a strong probability each of the outlined group (pictured) was contacted prior to publication; and one of those is very close to the Donald Trump campaign. Ergo, its entirely likely presidential candidate Donald Trump knew this story was coming out.

(34,648 posts)1. This is just too weird
I totally never suspected him for some reason. Trump? Yes. He is gross. But who would with Cruz? Donald can at least buy you a new identity if you get caught with him, Cruz? Plus eww. Cruz is totally gross. Like rancid.

Go figure...
Conservatives are so stupid...In the Comments section a poster wrote "Trump has girlfriends, so what." The "so what" is Trump holds himself out as a Bad Boy, Cruz holds himself out as Mr. Goody Goody Two Shoes.
