The Spin
Republican narrative
It's about time that Zuckerberg and his fellow Silicon Valley power brokers recognize the value of aligning with Trump and his vision for a stronger America. A warmer relationship between the Trump administration and Big Tech holds the potential to improve both the social and economic landscape of the US.
Democratic narrative
Zuckerberg is shamelessly prioritizing his own financial interests by kowtowing to Trump, now that the former president will be returning to power. This move mirrors the actions of other tech moguls who have taken to praising and contributing financially to Trump in the hopes that they'll be able to curry favor with the leader of the free world.
