wanted to take the jobsThe company behind Donald Trump's social media app Truth Social struggled to hire enough tech workers, according to a Reuters report.
Truth Social launched on the App Store in February, and Trump has touted the app as his alternative to Big Tech which he claims censors right-wing views.
The app's launch was beset with technical difficulties and many users were shunted onto a long waiting list when they tried to sign up.
Three sources familiar with Trump Media and Technology Group's operations told Reuters the company avoided hiring left-wing employees a requirement which significantly narrowed the choice of tech candidates.

Not to mention that righties generally aren't very tech savvy.

that would follow trumps pattern of not paying what he promised.
