Brad Parscale Off The Trump Train!

Trump fires Brad Parscale as his campaign manager.

The Donald J. Trump Presidential Campaign has told the junk food media, Brad Parscale was demoted. The former campaign manager is being forced off the campaign after a string of mishaps plagued the Trump team.

For one thing, the Tulsa rally was a disaster. Trump's rally managed to get a measly 5,000 attendees.

Trump's first campaign rally during a pandemic was deflated. Allegedly, online activists registered for tickets and didn't show up for the rally. Trump also faced scrutiny from health officials. The Tulsa area had a rise in COVID-19 cases and bringing folks to a crowded arena could be dangerous. Also, he wanted the rally on Juneteenth, a celebration of African Americans in the South to be officially freed from slavery. Trump's Black base said it would be inappropriate to host a rally on that day.

Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitts, who attended the rally caught the coronavirus. More on that later.

Parscale was responsible for pushing the following:

Trump is not pleased about how his campaign is being ran.

Labeling Joe Biden, "Sleepy Joe." The nickname given to Biden by Trump was to label the former vice president as "dull" and "low energy." The attempt to paint Biden as a weak and ineffective leader didn't really muster. Given we're in a middle of a pandemic that Trump failed to act on.

Throwing around the Tara Reade narrative. Now I believe that it's mostly a desperate attempt by allies of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to make up a false claim against Biden to siphon women voters off his campaign. With Biden considering a woman as a running mate, the Trump campaign wanted to make the claims that Biden is a creepy pedophile. The Trump campaign and leftists shared around pictures of Biden putting his hands on people. Reade (Alexandra Tara Reade Moulton McCabe) is a controversial figure. She emerged in March after Biden won most of the Super Tuesday states to make him the presumptive nominee. She wrote a Medium post claiming that Biden sexually assaulted her in the U.S. Capitol. She reached out to leftist agitator Katie Halper to get the story rolling. For the last two months the junk food media was covering this. The Trump Campaign and Fox News was hoping that the allegations would hurt Biden with women. Reade's allegations soon started falling apart and Parscale's attempt to label Biden a creep is ironic. Trump has over two dozen accusers, slept with Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and said inappropriate things about his daughter, Ivanka Trump.

Obamagate. The allegations that the Trump campaign was spied on by Barack Obama and Joe Biden during the 2016 election. The so-called "Deep State" led to Trump getting impeached. With many of Trump's former allies being commuted their sentences and pardoned, many believe that Trump is creating an overreach. In order to take the heat off of Trump, Parscale wanted to make the issue about Obama. The Trump campaign claimed that Obama and Biden were responsible for the failures of handling the coronavirus, the shaky economy and foreign meddling in the election. That idea fell through when the allegations of Russia paying the Taliban to kill American troops.

Biden is facing an onslaught of attacks from Trump and leftists who are upset Bernie Sanders lost.

Biden in the basement. They are complaining about how the junk food media isn't talking about the former vice president's mishaps. They tried with the "You Ain't Black" remarks. Trump's handling of the unrest in America post George Floyd got that off the radar. Biden being stuck in his basement was the current theme of the Trump campaign. Amplified by Sean "Softball" Hannity, Trump is calling Biden a coward for wearing a mask and holding virtual rallies instead of being out on the campaign trial. With the rise of COVID-19 in 44 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, Biden is taking careful considerations to campaigning. He doesn't want to have supporters catch the virus. Trump is forcing supporters to sign off waivers to prevent lawsuits against the campaign and Republican Party.

Parscale was secretly dating Hope Hicks. There are rumors that Hope Hicks was dating Parscale and Trump was angry over that. The two have spent thousands of campaign dollars for personal uses. The Lincoln Project founded by anti-Trump Republicans painted Parscale as a grifter who lives off the fat of Trump's slimey back. Now Parscale is married with a child from another woman. If Parscale was spotted with Hicks, it would destroy the message of Trump's campaign being disciplined. Hicks is special advisor to Trump and rumored girlfriend. Trump would have been pissed if the word got out that a married Parscale was dating Hicks, a woman that Trump had allegedly the hots for.

Did Parscale have an affair with Hope Hicks?

Nonetheless, Parscale was replaced on Wednesday. He was replaced with Bill Stepien, a corrupt staffer from the disgraced former New Jersey governorship of Chris Christie.

Stephien will now hold the keys to Trump's reelection bid. He will have to turn around a campaign that is being trounced by a rival Biden.

Trump is so far trailing in the polls.

But like Joe Biden said, ignore the polls. We got work to do.

Ignore the polls. We can't take anything for granted this November — the stakes are simply too high.

Biden and many Democrats are cautious about the polls. They don't want to get overconfident and let their guard down. Given how important the election is given we're in uncertainty with the coronavirus, global economy and civil unrest, Biden isn't taking anything for granted

There may be more staffing changes to come at the campaign, but nothing significant is expected in the immediate future, an official tells CNN.

Brad Parscale allegedly spent millions of Trump's campaign money for himself.

The future of Parscale, who had been lauded Trump and his allies as a digital guru who helped secure his first election effort and became his reelection campaign manager in early 2018, had been in serious doubt for weeks. In addition to lagging poll numbers, Trump was furious after a much-hyped return to the campaign trail fell flat at the end of June.

In the weeks leading up the event, Parscale predicted as many as 100,000 people would show up to support Trump. Instead a meager crowd of just over 6,000 came, the outdoor event was canceled and Trump was embarrassed -- laying much of the blame on Parscale who personally offered up Tulsa as one of the locations for the Trump return to the trail.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Parscale in meetings over the turnout. Parscale was unaware that he was being demoted until a few hours before the Wednesday night announcement, a source familiar with the situation told CNN. But after a one-on-one meeting between Trump and Stepien on Tuesday, Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, informed Parscale of the decision, according to a source familiar with the conversation.



"I am pleased to announce that Bill Stepien has been promoted to the role of Trump Campaign Manager," Trump said in a Facebook post. "Brad Parscale, who has been with me for a very long time and has led our tremendous digital and data strategies, will remain in that role, while being a Senior Advisor to the campaign. Both were heavily involved in our historic 2016 win, and I look forward to having a big and very important second win together. This one should be a lot easier as our poll numbers are rising fast, the economy is getting better, vaccines and therapeutics will soon be on the way, and Americans want safe streets and communities!"

A senior campaign adviser said Trump, Mike Pence and top advisers to both men have been discussing the Parscale move for a number of days. The adviser described the situation for Parscale as untenable. 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.

The adviser said Stepien, Jason Miller and Jeff DeWitt are now viewed as running the day-to-day operations of the campaign.

Parscale posted on Twitter Thursday afternoon, "Romans 12:14: Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them."

Romans 12:14:

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

He had held an all-staff meeting at the Trump campaign's headquarters on Thursday morning to hand things over to Stepien, according to two sources.

Bill Stepien is now the campaign manager.

Parscale was given a standing ovation after he finished his remarks, according to an aide who was in the room. Stepien then addressed the group of about 200 people and said Parscale would still be heavily involved in the campaign and would resume his focus on the digital operation, the aide said.

The aide described Stepien's and Parscale's roles as, "Bill will steer the ship, Brad will man the guns."

This aide said there is a sense of "calm and continuity" with Stepien in charge. "He's not an outside person that people need to get to know. He's been here and been part of the fight and people know they can trust him," the aide said.

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