Former President Donald Trump flew into a rage at his then-campaign manager Brad Parscale after news articles and a Lincoln Project ad highlighted the amount of money Parscale was earning from working on his campaign, according to Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender's latest book, "Frankly We Did Win This Election."
Two news reports from the Daily Mail and the Huffington Post published in early 2020 detailed how Parscale had turned his financial fortunes around. He'd gone from business struggles to buying up property and expensive cars after working first as Trump's digital guru in 2016 and then his campaign manager in 2020.
The Huffington Post reported that Parscale's companies had brought in $38.9 million between January 2017 and March 2020 in disbursements from Trump's campaign and other committees associated with Trump's reelection effort.
The Lincoln Project, a PAC made up of former Republican consultants who opposed Trump, jumped on the stories to produce a 45-second spot titled "GOP Cribs" featuring Parscale's $2.4 million Fort Lauderdale waterfront property, photos of which were published by the Daily Mail. The clip also included footage of Parscale's Florida condos, and his and his wife's collection of luxury cars, including a BMW X6, a Range Rover, and a Ferrari.

Better for us all if it's spent on Parscale's fancy cars than on Trump campaign.
