President Donald Trump has appointed Mark Zuckerberg to a top White House council, sparking outrage among his loyal supporters. The Meta boss will now advise the president on science and technology, a move that has left many feeling betrayed.
Laura Loomer, a vocal Trump supporter, has called the decision a 'slap in the face' to the MAGA movement. She reminded her followers that Trump once wanted Zuckerberg sent to prison, citing his past actions against the president and conservative voices.
Zuckerberg was criticized for banning Trump from Facebook and censoring thousands of conservative voices during the pandemic. The tech giant faced intense criticism for affecting the last election results.
Trump claims the council will strengthen American leadership in the tech sector, but conservatives feel that Zuckerberg has not been held accountable for his past mistakes. The base is demanding to know why Trump is trusting his 'enemies.'
Zuckerberg previously admitted to being pressured by the White House to censor content and promised to never compromise his standards again.
