David Pecker of the the National Enquirer is Trump's good friend and the two of them are peas in the pod when it comes to appealing to the very base of the American mind.
Here's one quote to give you an idea of the mindset:
" For Pecker, the Tiger Woods story encapsulates the grim ethos of Enquirer readers. "Do they care about Tiger Woods? No, " Pecker said. "Do the play golf? No. But do they want to read about his indescretions? Yes. Do they want to read that someone who is that successful is now failing? Yes. These are people that live their life failing, so they want to read negative things about people who have gone up and then come down."
