After Tulsa, if Parscale didn't see this coming, he's a bigger idiot than we thought

President Donald Trump shook up his campaign leadership on Wednesday, announcing he was promoting Bill Stepien to be his campaign manager and demoting Brad Parscale.

[...]

Parscale had been lauded by the President and his allies as a digital guru who helped secure Trump's first election effort, and he became Trump's reelection campaign manager in early 2018.

He worked for the Trump family years before Trump launched a presidential bid and ascended to a role leading the campaign's data analytics team in June 2016.

Parscale was unaware until a few hours before the Wednesday night announcement that he was being demoted, a source familiar with the situation told CNN. Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, was the one who informed Parscale of the decision, according to a source familiar with the conversation.

"He does not like Brad," one Trump adviser said last week, noting that Trump has taken to frequently cutting Parscale off during meetings and disagreeing with nearly every position he takes, at times ultimately agreeing with the same position when it is later reiterated by another aide in the room.

"It's very clear that when Brad offers a position, Trump decides to be against it," the adviser said.

Such a petty little bitch. Also, having Kushner deliver the news is particularly nasty since Kushner has been trying to get rid of Parscale all along.

The Trump family had become annoyed in recent weeks at reports of how much money Parscale was making in his role, including stories about his ownership of a Ferrari. Parscale, the adviser said, had been advised to lay low and stay out of the limelight, advice he apparently did not take.

Parscale was also a target of the President's frustrations in late April, when Trump was fuming about sliding poll numbers and facing an onslaught of criticism for suggesting that ingesting disinfectant might prove effective against coronavirus.

On a call, three people familiar said, Trump shouted at Parscale and berated him about the poll numbers. At one point on the call, Trump threatened to sue him.

Screaming at Parscale because of his own failure. Also typical Trump.

CNN has reached out to Parscale for comment, he has not yet responded. A source tells CNN, despite the demotion he plans to stay with the campaign.

In case you're wondering, Bill Stepien was one of Chris Christie's dirty dealers in the Bridgegate affair.  Kushner brought him on board the Trump campaign.
