So, this guy Parscale was brought in because he was some sort of internet wiz that had ideas of how to target and suppress black voters. Apparently they thought what he did worked so he was elevated in the campaign. He got greedy though but he was not alone. You let the Trump's loose around a bunch of cash and they are going to start looking for ways to stuff it in their own pockets. Donald Trump ALWAYS wants his cut. 

So, word was that the Trump campaign had been able to raise loads of cash for this election. Trump kept claiming they had way more than they had in 2016. The media even reported the Trump campaign was flush with cash. Then something happened and all that cash...well...with months left to go in the campaign, it's gone.

One rule about the Trumps, let them get near some cash and they are going to start looking for ways to take it for themselves. 

Now, Parscale is like the guy you bring in on the bank job that will not listen when you tell him once we rob the bank we have to sit on the cash, maybe for years so nobody suspects us. This guy Parscale wants to spend his loot though and he is going out and spending his cut of the donation money right away. He's buying property, driving around in Ferraris, buying boats and just going hog wild.

The Trumps were fine with Parscale taking donation money for himself as long as they took 3 or 4 times what he took...but they were not cool with him showing off that they were stealing campaign funds for themselves. Trump is said to have bitched loudly that Parscale was cruising around in a "fucking Ferrari" because come on, is that not conspicuous enough. 

So, they demote Parscale and shut him off from the donation money. Parscale also immediately becomes a perfect fall guy, which I'm certain he realizes, if the Trumps get caught taking the campaign donation cash for themselves. They need the money badly if Trump loses this election, which all signs point to he will, because the half a billion in personal loans he has comes due in the next four years. Donny's solution is simple, plan ahead and steal as much campaign cash as they can in the event they lose. 

If you have a scheme to rob campaign funds though who is the most important guy to have in on that? Correct, your campaign manager...one Brad Parscale. So, they tell him he needs to not say anything about the plan to steal donation money and for your silence "Sure, steal $40 million for yourself."

I don't know if they gave him the $40 million number but they likely told him it was fine to steal because they were going to and knowing the Trumps they probably felt he took more than he should have. Come on though, you are "Brad Parscale Campaign Manager" overseeing your candidate and his family robbing their own campaign...what are they going to do tell you to stop stealing when you know they are?

Now the thing is a lot more than $40 million went missing so you know that went somewhere.

Parscale gets demoted, loses access to the cash, realizes he is the perfect fall guy when this all comes crashing down if/when somebody investigates how the Trump campaign went from loaded to cash poor. So, he gets upset, beats his wife, and decides suicide is likely the best way out of this. 

His future likely includes going to jail and getting sweated by investigators to explain where all the money went and to turn on the Trumps. You know the Trumps are going to blame Parscale and say "Hey, look at the guy that was driving around in his Ferrari."
