Never fear, red hat
Brad Parscale has been promoted from President Donald Trump’s digital media manager to his 2020 campaign manager. Since the promotion, he’s been blowing millions on cars and real estate, even though his stated salary is only $15,000 a month.
This year alone he’s bought a $2.4 million waterfront mansion in Fort Lauderdale, a $78,300 BMW, and a $146,000 Range Rover, according to the Daily Mail. This was just months after Parscale and his wife had spent $2 million on condos in the Fort Lauderdale area.
In the mid-2000s, Parscale and his family lost their company to bankruptcy. Which is why his recent spending spree raised eyebrows, given his relatively meager salary based off donations.
According to the Daily Mail, Parscale also earns a percentage of all contributions to the Trump 2020 re-election campaign, and from the Republican National Committee which has paid his company Parscale Digital $7.3 million so far this year. [snip]
In what is described as a “highly unusual arrangement,” Washington insiders told the Daily Mail that Parscale’s companies and their subsidiaries get a percentage of most of the contributions to the Trump 2020 campaign, which now top $56.8 million. In total, according to the AP, Parscale is on the payroll of five companies with ties to the campaign. (our emphasis)Parscale, as you likely remember, is a key figure in the nexus of the shady "data" firm Cambridge Analytical, Russian intelligence and the 2016 Trump campaign. He's as bad a dude as there is in the Trump orbit. His living large off the red hat suckers is simply a mirroring of his mentor's business model.
Think of it this way, though: every buck that ends up in Parscale's pocket is one that isn't being applied to four more years of Trump continuing to destroy our country. (Note to Parscale: Given your boss's policies on global climate change, you may want to start looking for future waterfront property in, say, Orlando.)
So, keep fleecing those sheep, Brad!

I'm no Bible-thumper by any stretch, but isn't it always about the love of money? In every case of corruption, thievery, lies, and cheating the goal is to score as much cash and goods as possible. This administration is filled to the brim with money-grabbers and they would rob their own grandmother's grave for a pearl brooch. It's disgusting.
Sweeping these greedy bastards out of the White House is going to be a Herculean task.
donnah -- the list of grifters orbiting The Chosen One is staggering. They're like a smash and grab street gang, taking advantage of every opportunity to cash in as long as they can get away with it. An era unlike any other in our history.
