PARANOID Trump FIRES TOP EXECS after Whistleblower SPEAKS OUT
The dumpster fire that is Trump’s Truth Social is now raging out of control with the new revelation that 2 of its key executives responsible for revenue have been fired, as reported by ProPublica, in likely retaliation for a whistleblower investigation against its CEO and Trump confident Devin Nunes. Michael Popok explains that at the heart of the new reporting is Trump and his family's continued focus on getting into bed with foreign countries and companies, especially in the Balkans that want to improperly influence US policy by paying off the Trumps through shady business deals.
