Mark Zuckerberg allegedly told Donald Trump over the phone, “No way I can vote for a Democrat,” after the July 13 assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump alleged that Mark Zuckerberg made a phone call to him saying “I will never vote for the people running against you.”
“Mark Zuckerberg called up and said, ‘I’ve never supported a Republican before, but there’s no way I can vote for a Democrat in this election,'” Trump said during an interview with New York Magazine. He continued by stating that Zuckerberg had spoken about his upbringing, stating, “He’s a guy whose parents were always Democrats.”
“After seeing what you did, I will never vote for the people running against you.”
Mark Zuckerberg Praised Trump
“Watching Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most b***** things I’ve ever seen in my life,” Zuckerberg, who had not previously affiliated with a particular political party, said to Bloomberg shortly after the rally.
“I think a lot of people like the guy because, on some level, it’s like hard not to get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, especially as an American.”
The CEO of Meta has not openly supported any presidential contender in the 2024 contest. He said, “I’m not planning to get involved in the election in any way,” in an interview with Bloomberg in July.
