Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg praised Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s response to nearly being assassinated, calling his raised fist after the incident “one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life.” In an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday, Zuckerberg declined to endorse a presidential candidate and said he would not play 'a significant role in the election.” But Zuckerberg went on to offer positive characterizations of Trump.
Trump has also claimed that Zuckerberg has praised him in private. “Last week, the weirdo — he’s a weirdo — Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House, kissed my ass all night,” Trump said at a 2022 rally, according to Business Insider. Facebook and Instagram reinstated Trump’s accounts last year after he was previously suspended following the Jan. 6 insurrection. Zuckerberg has supported Republicans in the past.
