(CNN) Donald Trump is the country's first National Enquirer president (he is), but Gary Hart is remembered as the National Enquirer's first presidential scalp, even though the facts, as usual, are a little more complicated than that. And it was the first year Trump publicly considered running for President, with a trip to New Hampshire . Anyway, it was in 1987, three years before Trump's first divorce became front-page tabloid news, and the National Enquirer was just dipping its toes into political scandal. The Enquirer, as it does, took up the challenge and obtained images of Hart and Rice on a Florida yacht called "Monkey Business." Yet the Enquirer was not targeting Hart because he was a Democrat.
