Former Trump campaign manager reacts to 2020 election results in exclusive interview on'The Story' Former Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale has accused "D-level" "talking heads" in the president's orbit of starting a whisper campaign that forced him out earlier this year. Speaking with Fox News' Martha MacCallum in an exclusive interview on "The Story" Tuesday night, Parscale alleged that "when the polling numbers were going down, they were in his ear and I was out working." Discussing a reported incident in which Trump berated Parscale for passing along a bad polling report, the former campaign manager said: "I didn't like lying to him -- I like telling the truth. Sometimes that comes with a lot of painful days, knowing that I might let him down or make him upset, but a lot of the D-level people that hung around him told him what he wanted to hear: They were'yes' men. I wasn't going to be'yes' man, but a'get it done' man." Parscale did not name anyone as being specifically responsible for his ouster in mid-July, when he was replaced by Bill Stepien.

It almost seems that sometimes, our perception of a perfect world is made up of a series of advertisements. Whether we're on the train, reading the newspaper, watching TV, or playing with our mobile phones, we're bombarded by a plethora of messaging -- the car you ought to buy, how to dress fashionably, what to eat, where to go, and so on. Taken together, these form a picture of an idealised reality, one that most of us spend our lives trying to attain. But as people get savvier and more discerning in the face of a never-ending barrage of advertising, marketers need to think a step ahead when it comes to targeting the right audience and engaging specific needs to various consumers. Indeed, advertising and marketing messages span a bewildering range in terms of specificity, from billboards' one-size-fits-all content to more targeted solutions based on browser cookies and geo-tagging.
