Donald Trump“A bad man because he immediately reappears after an assassination attempt,” he says Mark Zuckerberg …although he fails to get him an endorsement.
The technology guru discussed the 45th POTUS taking a bullet during his Pennsylvania Rally in a Bloomberg interview published Thursday … adding that the dude is a straight-up “badass.”
MZ says it wasn’t just him jumping back up… but the image of DJT waving his fist up and down as the American flag waved in the background really struck a chord with the Facebook founder. Zuck adds that it’s not about politics, but instead speaks to his inherent patriotism.
That said, Mark did not support Trump Biden …adding that he also has no plans to change his neutral stance in the future. Apparently Zuck is sticking to Switzerland here.
Anyway, high praise from Mark, who doesn’t have a great relationship with the former president… Meta suspended Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts after the January 6 insurrection. There were restrictions on Trump’s bill only recently abolished.
And Trump still seems pissed about it… because last week he went on Truth Social and threatened to throw election fraudsters in jail, mentioning Zuckerberg in his post.
Besides, Truth Social grew out of the Meta Ban in part, so Mark created a bit of his own competition here, and he may not want to support a direct competitor.

It’s entirely possible that Zuck will change his mind about the endorsement FWIW…just assume Elon Musk who vowed not to support a presidential candidate, but his tone changed hours after Trump was shot.
Zuckerberg is all for putting on a tough show — but it still might not be enough for him to risk his ass by supporting Trump.
