Octopus Overlords

US President Donald Trump has named one of his political strategists as campaign manager for his 2020 re-election campaign.

The Trump Organization hired Brad Parscale in 2011 as a digital media guru.

He was asked in 2015 to create a website for Mr Trump's exploratory White House bid and a year later became the campaign's digital director.

The president is promoting from within, as Mr Parscale - a web designer by trade - managed the 2016 campaign's social media efforts despite being a political novice. Given that the top job that year was a bit of a hot potato, someone who is familiar with how Mr Trump operates could bring stability to the next run.
...
Mr Trump's campaign fundraising has been ongoing, raising $22m (£16m) by the end of 2017.
...
Mr Parscale was interviewed behind closed doors last year by the House Intelligence Committee inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the US election.

He said he had told lawmakers he had no knowledge of the alleged Kremlin plot to influence the campaign in favour of Mr Trump.

He told a CBS 60 Minutes programme last year that Mr Trump had rebuked him during the election, because the candidate was sceptical about ad spending.
...
The digital guru's firm, Giles-Parscale, billed the Trump campaign $94m for its work on the election, reports US media.
