Former President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump threatens to imprison billionaire entrepreneur and founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg in his new book, Save America.

Underneath a picture of Zuckerberg meeting with Trump at the White House during the latter’s presidency, Trump writes that Zuckerberg “would come to the Oval Office to see me” and “bring his very nice wife to dinners, be as nice as anyone could be, while always plotting install shameful Lock Boxes in a true PLOT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.”

Then came the threat:

He told me there was nobody like Trump on Facebook. But at the same time, and for whatever reason, steered it against me. We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison — as will others who cheat in the 2024 Presidential Election.

Zuckerberg recently addressed a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) in which he admitted that the company had made a mistake when it demoted The New York Post‘s controversial story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 after being warned about Russian disinformation effort against the Bidens by Trump’s FBI.

    Well earned hatred for Zuck aside, Trump really seems like he wants to imprison the entirety of the seventy percent of Americans who don’t bend the knee to him. Depending on what level of military support he garners if he manages to weasel his way back to the White House, we could realistically be looking at a Cambodia Khmer Rouge situation.

    I’m not a gun guy, but I’ve seriously been thinking about getting one - not for self defense against a militarized police force or unimaginably powerful military, but as a quick out should things turn to round up the Dems bad.

      If politics is making you think of killing yourself. Maybe take a step back from politics. There’s more to life than Lemmy.

        Unfortunately, there are times when politics takes an interest in all of us, even if we don’t want it to.

      The message donnie is meaning to convey is if Zuck doesn’t give him an assist again, he’ll be in prison.

      Also, despite what all the qons, the tankies, the tone police, and the likes of donnie, Elon, and Matt Taibbi say - exercising caution over the “laptop” during the election was only all too important.

      Same goes for the Brexit vote. They’re responsible for a lot of damage to the western economies…

    Zuckerberg has nothing to fear. Unlike Trump, he’s a real billionaire and they make the rules.

    If Zuck’s cheating keeps Trump out of the oval office, he won’t have the authority to send him to prison, now would he? Unless Trump is so delusional that he thinks he can win despite “cheating”, which of course he would.

    But if Trump loses, it can only be because of cheating or election interference, it can’t possibly be because the American people opted not to chose him. Totally not the delusions of a sore loser, nope.

    God, sometimes I wish he had his head blown off back in July. Not having to listen to this moron spew off nonsense day in and day out would have been nice.

    I’m guessing Trump does not remember when Elon Musk tried to bully Zuckerberg into a physical fight leading to Zuckerberg accepting the challenge and Musk having to tuck tail and run.

        Of course not. Zuckerberg is 13 years younger and actively trains MMA. Elon is fat, spends all day tweeting bullshit, and is probably addicted to ketamine.

        Zuck legitimately might kill Elon on accident if that fight happened. (But fuck em both)

          Zuckerzwerg is not even in the top 10 of evil rich guys now, which is not meant as praise in any way but simply the result of so many of them turning into Nazis lately
