*President’s Trump’s former campaign manager, Brad Parscale, is reportedly under psychiatric care at a Fort Lauderdale hospital after being talked out of suicide attempt over the weekend.
Parscale served as Trump’s re-election campaign manager until he was demoted in July. The Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Police Department confirmed he was admitted to Broward Health Medical Center for observation, but gave no reason for why Parscale wanted to take his own life.
On Sunday, Parscale’s wife reportedly called police to report “an armed male attempting suicide.”
She told officers “her husband was armed, had access to multiple firearms inside the residence and was threatening to harm himself.”
When officers arrived at the scene, they made contact with Parscale, and “developed a rapport, and safely negotiated for him to exit the home.” He was then transported to the Broward Health Medical Center under Florida’s Baker Act, IBI Times reports.

“He came out and we got him some help,” Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Karen Dietrich told CNN.
The Trump campaign say Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans are to blame for Parscale’s suicide attempt.
“Brad Parscale is a member of our family and we all love him,” said Tim Murtaugh, Trump campaign’s spokesperson. “We are ready to support him and his family in any way possible.”
News of the suicide attemt coincides with the bombshell report from the New York Times that details Trump‘s tax returns over two decades.
A line conservatives LOVE to use about victims of police violence is “why didn’t they just comply with the police?”
Parscale didn’t just fail to comply—they needed a hostage negotiator, + he wouldn’t get on the ground so an officer used a “double-leg takedown” subdue/cuff him.

The report reveals that Trump paid only $750 in federal taxes in 2016 and 2017, respectively. He also didn’t pay income taxes in 10 of the last 15 years.
“Over the past decade, President Trump has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government, including paying millions in personal taxes since announcing his candidacy in 2015,” Alan Garten, lawyer for the Trump Organization, said in a statement, in response to the Times’ report.
Meanwhile, bestselling author Don Winslow noted on Twitter, “@parscale isn’t in a psych ward because of the current @nytimes story. He’s in a psych ward because he knows the next two stories that are coming. Save this tweet.”
