The Trump Campaign Is Secretly Funneling Donated Money To Pay Lara Trump And Don Jr.'s Girlfriend, New Report Claims

Brad Parscale, President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection campaign manager, has been funneling donor money to the President's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, and the President's son's girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Both women are Trump campaign surrogates and have expanded to advisory roles as well.

Normally, the Federal Election Commission would require payments to surrogates be disclosed in public filings. The Trump campaign has avoided this by paying millions to Parscale's company, Parscale Strategy, which then reportedly doles out paychecks to Lara Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle.


The New York Times report detailing the strange transaction reported:
"According to two people with knowledge of the matter, Parscale Strategy has also been used to make payments out of public view to Lara Trump, the wife of the president's son Eric, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr...Their presence makes for an odd dynamic between a campaign manager and a candidate's family."

The article also reports that Guilfoyle admonished Parscale in front of two witnesses, complaining her checks were always late. He assured her that his wife would see to it that the problem was solved.

It's unclear why the Trump campaign is going to such lengths to conceal the payments from public view, but because the donor funds are going through a private company before being paid out to their recipients, it's likely easier to avoid certain campaign finance regulations.

People are concerned, but not surprised.







It's a wonder which is more lucrative to the Trump family: the campaign or the administration?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
