    'Such a sucker': New ad ridicules Trump with claim campaign chief is ripping him off

    Donald Trump is mercilessly mocked in a new ad that takes aim at a report that his senior adviser is raking in a fortune from the campaign.

    The Daily Beast reported earlier this month that Chris LaCivita, the co-chief of Trump’s campaign, had made deals that had paid him $22 million in just two years.

    The new ad, released by anti-Trumper’s The Lincoln Project, ridicules him as a “fool” and a “sucker” who is being taken advantage of, the Beast reported Thursday.

    “Donald, you are such a sucker,” the ad states. “And you don’t even know it.”

    “Chris LaCivita? Twenty-two million? Are you kidding?”

    The video runs a video of Trump’s odd town hall turned dance party, before the female narrator says LaCivita was paid $38,850 to run a previous successful political campaign, that of Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).

    “That’s twenty-one million nine hundred and sixty-one thousand one hundred and fifty dollars less,” the narrator said. “And [Cotton] won in a landslide.”

    “Now another campaign manager sees a sucker and backs up the truck. A fool and his money. That’s you, Donald.”

    The Beast’s original report claims much of LaCivita’s pay came from a commission deal he’s made that gave him a cut of cash spent on advertising and voter outreach.

    His co-chair, Susie Wiles, has reportedly been paid $685,000.
