A new advertisement from The Lincoln Project targets Donald Trump, ridiculing him over allegations that his campaign chief is profiting significantly from his presidential run. The ad draws attention to a report by The Daily Beast revealing that Chris LaCivita, co-chief of Trump’s campaign, has earned a staggering $22 million over the past two years.
The advertisement describes Trump as a “fool” and a “sucker,” implying that he is being taken advantage of by those closest to him. “Donald, you are such a sucker,” the ad boldly states, adding, “And you don’t even know it.”
Shocking Financial Claims
The ad highlights that LaCivita earned $38,850 for successfully managing the political campaign of Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR). “That’s twenty-one million nine hundred and sixty-one thousand one hundred and fifty dollars less,” the female narrator remarks. The narrator emphasizes the disparity between Cotton’s campaign success and LaCivita’s substantial earnings with Trump. “Now another campaign manager sees a sucker and backs up the truck. A fool and his money. That’s you, Donald,” she concludes.

Commission Structure Revealed
According to The Beast’s report, a significant portion of LaCivita’s earnings stems from a commission deal, which allows him to take a cut of the funds allocated for advertising and voter outreach. Meanwhile, Trump’s co-chair, Susie Wiles, has reportedly received $685,000 for her role in the campaign.
Political Impact and Public Reaction
As the election cycle heats up, this ad raises questions about transparency and trust within Trump’s campaign. Critics are quick to point out the implications of such financial dealings, questioning whether Trump is truly aware of the practices employed by his advisers.
This ad serves as another reminder of the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Trump’s campaign and its financial maneuvers. As public opinion continues to shift, the effectiveness of such advertising efforts remains to be seen.
In the midst of the political turmoil, one thing is clear: The stakes are high, and every move counts as candidates gear up for the upcoming election. The Lincoln Project’s latest ad could potentially influence voters’ perceptions of Trump, framing him as someone who may not be in control of his own campaign.
