In the United States, Donald Trump is facing scrutiny from the Lincoln Project, a group of his Republican adversaries, following revelations about his campaign chief's substantial earnings. Chris LaCivita has reportedly made $22 million over two years, a figure highlighted in a new ad. The ad points out the stark contrast between LaCivita’s compensation and that of other campaign officials, emphasizing the excessive payouts. LaCivita defended these earnings, attributing them to commissions on advertising and outreach efforts. The other head of the campaign, Susie Wiles, received considerably less, further underscoring the disparity in financial compensation among campaign staff. The ad mocks Trump by labeling him a 'fool' and underscores concerns of potential exploitation and mismanagement within his campaign, suggesting a pattern of lavish payments that have raised eyebrows among political commentators and the public alike.
