LETTER: Trump wins bout with Zuckerberg

Did Mark Zuckerberg truly have an epiphany, a revelation of sorts that made him do an altruistic 180-degree turnabout regarding free expression on Meta (Facebook/Instagram)? Nah, he’s simply chumming up to Donald Trump, whom he banned four years ago from his platforms. He’s a lefty through and through and made a purely business decision to keep the heat off of him now that a new regime will be in charge.

It’s so transparently obvious that it’s laughable he’s doing it to save himself from scrutiny by cozying up to Mr. Trump. The Mar-a-Lago visit was evidence of that. In what universe would pre-Trump election Zuckerberg contribute $1 million to Mr. Trump’s inaugural fund? He’s got to be holding his nose giving up that dough to a political rival. The frosting on top of all this is that Dana White, the Trump MAGA super supporter, will be installed on the board of Meta ostensibly to keep a close eye on any shenanigans. Mr. Zuckerberg seems to be quite adept at groveling.

Mr. Trump worked his tail off to strategize and regain the presidency. So I concur with George Peppard, who used to say on a popular ’80s TV show, “I love it when a plan comes together.”
