Remember that "safe" at the National Enquirer? It's being opened.



One imagines this will be a blockbuster:

The National Enquirer’s long-held secrets about Donald Trump may be about to get substantially less secret.

Page Six is told that the longtime executive editor of the tabloid, Barry Levine, is penning a book for Hachette about the president.

A source says that the book will look into “Trump and his women,” although other insiders tell us that it could be more wide-ranging, even looking at the formerly cozy relationship between the Enquirer’s owner, David Pecker, and Trump. That said, it’s unclear exactly what Levine’s contract with the Enquirer would allow him to reveal about Pecker.

Of course, Pecker has been at the center of an investigation into alleged hush money payouts made to Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels — who both claim to have had affairs with Trump while he was married to First Lady Melania Trump. In August, Pecker was granted immunity in the probe.

Either way, Levine — who left the Enquirer in 2016 after 17 years — will have plenty of previously unreported material for the tome.

Won't make any difference to the cult members of course - but exposure of his nasty is never a bad plan

It will not make any difference to the true believers, but any bit of truth coming out is a good thing.

Why would I give it credence now? Seems to me it wants to sell magazines, I'll pass.

6. I don't think he "hates" them so much as has no regard for them as humans

He hates black and brown people; women and children he just considers beneath him and not worthy of any kind of respect or consideration, only to be used for his own gratification.

Then again I think he feels that way about pretty much everybody except the world's horrible, vicious autocrats, whom he aspires to be one of.

that he has not had to pay for - upfront? He seems to really be attracted to the pay for play type. Must be in his genes from grandpa the pimp.

Jeez, the idea of locking away pieces of paper is so ... 20th century!
