President Donald Trump’s reelection effort has been in full swing for months, as campaign manager Brad Pascale molds an apparatus with clear lines of communication, hierarchy and organization: in short, a model nothing like Trump’s fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants 2016 campaign.
According to a Tuesday Politico report, campaign officials are trying desperately to avoid the embarrassing leaks and gaffes of the inexperienced team that plagued their 2016 effort.
Team Trump is also firming up campaign assets to combat the President’s dismal polling numbers and the constant turbulence that always follows in his wake. The campaign spent a whopping $2 million more than it raised from October to the end of December.
Per Politico, campaign officials expect to have 100 employees on payroll by the end of this year.
As long as Trump is the candidate, nothing will help.
Translation: All the grifters hard at work skimming dark money before the crash…
All abortion payouts are fiscal year 2018 to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Like everything else Trump does, I’m sure this campaign apparatus is more grift than anything else. Someone is sitting in an office licking stamps for $10,000 a week. And there are a few dozen of those someones.
No matter how good the organization, they are selling a piss-poor product. In other words, you can’t polish a turd.
