President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday night that his campaign manager, Brad Parscale, would be replaced by deputy campaign manager Bill Stepien.

“I am pleased to announce that Bill Stepien has been promoted to the role of Trump Campaign Manager,” Trump tweeted. “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.”

Trump claimed a second win “should be a lot easier” because “our poll numbers are rising fast.”

In fact, the campaign shake-up comes as Trump’s anemic approval ratings sink ever lower as a result of his feeble response to COVID-19 and his bombastic response to the recent anti-police brutality protests. Consequently, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has been crushing Trump in the polls ahead of the November elections.

On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal and NBC News released a joint poll showing Biden ahead of Trump by a whopping 11 points among voters. Meanwhile, the same survey revealed that the President’s disapproval rating had jumped to 56 percent.

    Keep telling yourself and your maggoted MAGAs more lies…

    So rhetorically speaking…why did you demote Parscale?
    Did he slow the Trumpian Death Star?
    Or is he now a useless tool that you can discard per your usual SOP?

    It’s futile to ask you to STOP story-telling-a-lie
    But
    Take a listen to other people tell truthful stories about you for a change:

  2. Brad, as part of the job, got an expensive condo, a yacht, several expensive cars and it’s rumored he didn’t even vote in 2016. The grifter (tRump) got grifted! Well done Brad. Laughing all the way to the bank Brad be like:

  3. Obviously, Brad’s moonlighting on “Homestead Rescue” got in the way of his campaign duties.

  4. Baghdad Brad…

  5. Don’t worry, there will be a SuperPAC that will snatch him up. Then they can claim to have “uncoordinated” campaign ads.
