On its homepage, Truth Social brags that it is "proudly made in the United States of America""but the small team includes workers in Mexico and eastern Europe. Former president Donald Trump has vowed to "stop outsourcing" and "punish" companies that send jobs overseas"but that hasn't prevented his social media company, Truth Social, from outsourcing work to Mexican employees.

Truth Social has hired two Mexican programmers through a third-party firm, according to ProPublica. That fact has reportedly roiled the tiny, Florida-based company, which touts on its homepage that it is "Proudly made in the United States of America. " In a recent letter to the board of Trump Media and Technology Group, which oversees Truth Social, employees complained that CEO and former Republican congressman Devin Nunes has repeatedly hired foreign contractors over American workers: "This approach not only contradicts the America First principles we stand for but also raises concerns about the quality, dedication, and alignment of our workforce with our core values," reads the complaint, which was also first reported by ProPublica.

Those "America First" principles are core to Trump's economic platform ... if not his actual business practices. In late September, Trump threatened the agricultural manufacturer John Deere with "a 200 percent tariff on everything you want to sell into the United States" if it went ahead with plans to outsource some production to Mexico. He's issued similar warnings to US and foreign automakers.

Will Pres-elect Trump grant a tariff exception to the company that makes his Bibles?
