In his latest book, ‘Save America,’ former President Donald Trump has escalated his feud with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, directly threatening him with life imprisonment. The book, which outlines Trump’s plans for the 2024 Presidential Election, includes a scathing indictment of Zuckerberg, accusing him of conspiring against Trump during his presidency.
Trump alleges that Zuckerberg, despite appearing friendly during White House visits, was secretly plotting against him. He claims that Zuckerberg, under the guise of pleasantries, was orchestrating a campaign to suppress Trump’s message on Facebook, labeling it as a ‘genuine plot against the President.’
Trump’s accusations stem from his belief that Facebook, under Zuckerberg’s leadership, suppressed a New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop during the 2020 election, a move Trump views as an attempt to harm his campaign. He alleges that Zuckerberg deliberately steered the platform against him despite previously acknowledging Trump’s strong presence on Facebook.
Trump’s warning of life imprisonment for Zuckerberg is not a new development. He previously threatened Zuckerberg and those involved in election fraud on his platform, Truth Social, in July. These threats are a clear indication of the deep-seated animosity between the two figures, fueled by the events of the 2020 election.
The tension between Trump and Facebook highlights the broader debate surrounding social media’s role in elections. Trump’s accusations of censorship and manipulation fuel concerns about the potential for social media platforms to influence election outcomes. This latest threat is a stark reminder of the ongoing battle over the future of online discourse and its impact on democratic processes.
