Brad Parscale, who served as Donald Trump’s senior adviser for data and digital operations, is calling on his former boss to run for the US presidency again, saying multiple impeachments can work in Trump’s favour.
“If they only impeached you twice, you need to run again. Because to change the system you have to kick it in the a#$,” Trump's former campaign manager wrote in a tweet on Saturday addressed to the now Twitter-less Trump. “I would love to be [sic] the only President to be impeached three times. Because history remembers those that didn’t conform. I’m in, are you?”
