Zuckerberg called me and said he wouldn't support the Democrats: Donald Trump
Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg called him recently to apologize for the censorship and to assure him that he "won't support any Democrats."
"So Mark Zuckerberg called me. First of all, he called me multiple times. After the event, he called me and said, 'That was really incredible, that was so brave,'" President Trump said in an interview with Fox News.
President Trump said that Zuckerberg told him, "That was really incredible, that was so brave," in an interview with Fox News. According to Trump, Zuckerberg also expressed his respect for Trump and said that he would not support the Democrats in the next election. Trump continued, "So Mark Zuckerberg called me a couple of times. He even announced that he wasn't going to support the Democratic Party because he respected what I did that day. He actually apologized. He said they made mistakes and stuff and they're going to fix the mistakes. But nobody from Google called me," Trump told Fox News.
Earlier in July, Zuckerberg publicly refused to endorse either Trump or Joe Biden, saying he didn't want to take part in the upcoming US presidential election. Zuckerberg's comments come as Silicon Valley heavyweights such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk and venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz are inclined to endorse Trump for president.
In an interview with Bloomberg News, Zuckerberg called President Trump's initial reaction after the shooting "tough" and emotional. He believes this sheds light on why Trump resonates with so many voters.
