WOW: Giles-parscale recieved nearly $72 million from trump campaign from june 2016 on.
On 17 June 2015 – the day after Trump launched his presidential campaign with a racist attack on Mexicans – the billionaire businessman called Parscale to tell him to create a full presidential campaign website, according to the interview.
“When I was successful, he continued to reward me over and over again, because I worked hard and produced success,” Parscale told Wired.
Parscale, who has described Trump as a “really great guy, and his kids are amazing”, said the “opportunity to work on a presidential campaign is like designing for the Super Bowl”.
The Trump deal has transformed Giles-Parscale, which Parscale runs with co-founder Jill Giles. The firm had 60 employees before it started working on the Trump campaign, and is now in the midst of a recruitment drive to hire an additional 100 people as the campaign heats up in the countdown to the 8 November election.
