Win Or Lose, Trump's Top Campaign Aides Are Raking In The Cash

WASHINGTON ― The bad news for President Donald Trump: He may well lose reelection later this year.

The good news for his top campaign staff: They will wind up really rich either way.

Brad Parscale, whom Trump named to run his 2020 effort in early 2018, has already collected $38.9 million through his companies from Trump’s various reelection committees between January 2017 and the end of March, according to a HuffPost analysis of Federal Election Commission filings.

Gerrit Lansing’s payment processing company, which he started while a staffer at the National Republican Congressional Committee and continued to run while he worked at the Republican National Committee, has taken in $1.7 million. Katie Walsh, briefly a Trump White House aide and a former RNC chief of staff, has received $877,424 through her firms. And Richard Walters, who at age 30 is the current chief of staff, makes $244,943 a year in salary but last year was paid an additional $135,000 through his own consulting firm. Since the Trump presidency began, he has been paid a total of $755,324.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Donald Trump is pocketing some of his campaign funds the way he did with his non-profit.

A year from now their career opportunities will be limited with "worked for Trump" on their resumés.
