Manager: Trump family building 'dynasty' for decades to come

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: AP

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) — President Donald Trump’s campaign manager predicted Saturday that the president and his family will become “a dynasty that will last for decades,” transforming the Republican Party while hewing to conservative values.

Speaking to a convention of Republican Party delegates in Indian Wells, California, Brad Parscale also said the campaign’s goal is to build a national army of 2 million trained volunteers, far beyond the president’s 2016 organization, that in California could help the GOP retake a string of U.S. House seats captured by Democrats last year.

“The Trumps will be a dynasty that will last for decades, propelling the Republican Party into a new party,” he said. “One that will adapt to changing cultures. One must continue to adapt while keeping the conservative values that we believe in.”

Parscale later declined to elaborate on his prediction of a coming Trump “dynasty,” or whether the president’s children could become candidates for public office.

He told reporters after the speech, “I just think they are a dynasty. I think they are all amazing people with ... amazing capabilities.”

the fat paychecks he is getting. Buying million dollar homes, luxury cars etc. From bankruptcy to living the high life. Seems he is "high" in more ways than one if he thinks the tRump family are amazing people. Don Jr is eying a run for the WH in 2024. Why not, his dumb as a rock daddy made it (with Russian help) why not him? I think the majority of sensible people are sick to death of the tRumps. They will NEVER be another Kennedy family, that's for sure. Their family motto must be "Grifters 'R Us"

Trump Campaign Manager Blows Millions on Florida Mansion and Luxury Cars
By Morgan Phillips Aug 22nd, 2019, 4:56 pm

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.

“I make no secret about the fact that working for the Trump family made me a wealthy man well before I ever became President Trump’s campaign manager,” Parscale told the Daily Mail. “The President is an excellent businessman and being associated with him for years has been extremely beneficial to my family.”

Parscale told 60 Minutes in 2017 that he had received an email through his company in 2015 to make a website for Trump’s presidential run and he agreed to do it for $1,500. By the time the election was over, Parscale sold his business CloudCommerce for $10 million.

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.

Both the RNC and the Trump campaign have utilized Parscale’s companies, mostly Parscale Digital and Parscale Strategy, for millions of dollars worth of service.

The only dynasty the Trump family would create would be one of sheer evil. Trump is a modern-day Caligula who would take joy from hurting others. This description of Caligula seems pretty close to Trump, except for the ability to murder with impunity.

“He was wild, sadistic, extravagant, with a penchant for sexual adventures. In the first 3 months in his reign of terror, over 160,000 animals were sacrificed in his honor. He later got a brain fever that made him mentally ill. He then believed he was a god. Under Caligula, the law became an instrument of torture. He believed prisoners should feel a painful death.”

Perhaps we should call him Emperor Don, the Caligula of the Republican Party. Of course, none of his supporters would have the slightest notion of the meaning!

A. He’s wrong.

B. Trump will dump Parscale, like he dumps every “close associate.” Apart from the sycophants, his former close associates are gone, dead, or indicted. I do wonder who he plays golf with. Friends? I do t think he capable. Sycophants? Fellow traitors/corrupt people?

The new wing of the nearest federal prison. Shall be named the Trump Detention and Psychiatric Lifers Facility (TDPLF). Let them run the dynasty from there.

All outside communications will be handled by carrier pigeons. No electronic devices will be allowed within the facility. Three squares and a cot will be the accommodation for all former Trump grifters.

No paroles will be considered until the country has clawed back the millions if not billions of dollars the grifters have stolen from the US taxpayers.

Trump will officially be labeled as the 21st Century's Benedict Arnold.
