The “Death Star”: At the beginning of this year, that’s what Donald Trump’s then-campaign manager, Brad Parscale, dubbed the billion-dollar fundraising operation at the heart of the Trump campaign.

The choice was a telling one, largely as a reminder that many Republicans in the Trump era are not only aware that they’re the bad guys, but are proud to align themselves with some of the notorious villains of pop culture history. But more than one commentator was also quick to point out that the Death Star isn’t just a symbol of evil, but of hubris, because it’s destroyed by the plucky heroes who may be outgunned but have the wit and courage to defeat the foolhardy tyrants of the Empire.

“Dude, the Death Star gets blown up in the end of just about every Star Wars movie,” MSNBC host Joe Scarborough tweeted back in May, in response to Parscale bragging that he was about to “start pressing FIRE for the first time” on Trump’s “juggernaut campaign.”

Life rarely plays out like a children’s sci-fi movie, but I am happy to say that the people who made Death Star jokes turned out to be right. The Trump campaign’s Death Star had its own version of the ray-shielded particle exhaust vent that allowed the Rebel Alliance to fly directly into its reactor core to blow up the entire apparatus: The greed and incompetence that defines Trump and everyone around him.

3. I think Brad has known for some time Donny is gonna get hammered and has got in as much looting ...

.... as possible.

Companies owned by Brad Parscale — the president's confident and combative campaign manager — have already collected nearly $40 million this cycle.

Parscale was doing coding and website design for the Trump Organization pre-2016, but from January 2017 to the end of March, he got $38.9 million through those companies, according to FEC filings reviewed for a new HuffPost report.

Most presidential campaign managers make low six figure salaries, with Mike Bloomberg's being on the high end at $198,547.

Parscale has made some notable purchases, including a Ferarri, a Range Rover, a $400,000 boat, two million dollar condos and a $2.4 million waterfront house in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
