Whistleblower fired from Trump’s Truth Social after turning over docs now makes $16-an-hour at Starbucks

A former top executive at Donald Trump’s Truth Social media company who was booted for becoming a whistleblower is back to the daily grind — as a $16-an-hour Starbucks barista.

“It’s an honest day’s work,” Will Wilkerson told the Washington Post of his new gig in North Carolina.

Wilkerson, 38, provided 150,000 emails, contracts and other internal documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission and probers in Florida and New York who are examining Trump’s Media and Technology Group.

The federally protected whistleblower last year claimed Trump’s company broke securities laws and said he could not stay silent while some of its honchos misled investors, including small-time shareholders loyal to the former president.

The company fired Wilkerson shortly after, accusing him of “concocted psychodramas” but declined to address his specific claims, according to the report.

Concocting psychodramas goes unappreciated.

Makes better money than I do as an ESE teacher in my public school system. Still, I love the implicit insult in the title. It shows the absolute disdain held for the average person outside the Beltway.

I was just thinking the same thing.

No there isn’t.

If I had to guess, this guy doesn’t know what a whistleblower is, he’s probably a pathetic libtard with an agenda and he merely acted as a dumb stooge handing over what should be privacy protected information to the government.

But that’s just a hunch.

The only things the government hasn’t investigated yet that are related to Donald Trump are his colon, and his prostate.

It must be said that Trump seems to attract hornets around him where ever he goes. Being around the guy makes no counts so envious they will do anything to gain attention. Perhaps they do so to try and rise to Trump’s notoriety. This seems to be the case with all the women who keep suing Trump over alleged sex crimes.

Trump has all the right enemies. That is undeniable.

“I guess he can afford to work at Starbucks when he got a pile of money from the DemoMarxists”

Exactly. The guy’s a bottom dweller that provided “information” that never went anywhere and was a flimsy as a wet noodle. Now the SEC is essentially ghosting DWAC/TMTG without approving the merger all for political ‘gain’.

No, you’re reading it wrong. They’re essentially making him out to be a victim for being dudley do right by concocting make believe garbage against TMTG. (BUT...$16/hr to make coffee is RICH)
