Donald Trump seems to say whatever is on his mind, and at a Friday morning news conference in Ohio, he shared a thought that has apparently been in his head for a while: "I've always said, 'Why didn't the National Enquirer get the Pulitzer Prize for Edwards?'"
He was talking about John Edwards, of course, the former senator from North Carolina and 2008 presidential candidate whose love child the supermarket tabloid was first to expose. Trump brought this up to argue that the National Enquirer ought to be "respected," and he raised the subject of the tabloid's credibility because he felt compelled on the day after accepting the Republican presidential nomination to defend his decision in May to cite a National Enquirer story linking Ted Cruz's father to then-President John F. Kennedy's assassin. All of this stems from Cruz's refusal to endorse Trump at the just-ended Republican National Convention.
Make sense?
