The visit to Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, resort was confirmed by Trump adviser Stephen Miller during an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News Channel.
Miller stated, “Mark Zuckerberg has been very clear about his desire to be a supporter of and a participant in this change that we’re seeing all around America, all around the world with this reform movement that Donald Trump is leading.”
Miller emphasized that Zuckerberg, like many business leaders, recognizes Trump as an “agent of change” who drives prosperity.
“Mark, obviously, has his own interests, and he has his own company, and he has his own agenda,” Miller continued.
“But he’s made clear that he wants to support the national renewal of America under President Trump’s leadership.”

Zuckerberg’s visit comes after a public show of support for Trump following the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Zuckerberg shared his admiration for Trump’s resilience during the event, describing it as a remarkable moment. “Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most bada – things I’ve ever seen in my life,” Zuckerberg said in a statement to Bloomberg shortly after the incident.
Zuckerberg went on to express his respect for Trump’s courage, noting, “On some level as an American, it’s hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that’s why a lot of people like the guy.”

This sentiment from Zuckerberg added a layer of endorsement for Trump, especially as the nation observed the aftermath of the rally and the assassination attempt.
The visit and Zuckerberg’s remarks come amid growing attention to his interactions with Trump. Earlier in August, Zuckerberg reached out to Trump, apologizing for a mistake made by Facebook in labeling a viral photo of the president.
During an interview on FOX Business, Trump shared details of the call, saying, “Mark Zuckerberg called me. First of all, he called me two times. He called me after the event and he said that was really amazing. It was really brave.”
Trump also noted that Zuckerberg expressed his decision not to support the Democratic Party moving forward, citing respect for Trump’s actions. “He actually announced that he’s not going to support a Democrat because he can’t because he respected me for what I did that day,” Trump recalled during the interview.
The exchange between Zuckerberg and Trump has prompted speculation about a growing alignment between the tech mogul and the Trump camp.
Zuckerberg’s actions and words suggest that he is positioning himself in support of Trump’s vision for the future of the country, particularly with Trump’s upcoming second term.
The timing of Zuckerberg’s visit and support of Trump also highlights the broader context of Silicon Valley’s ongoing relationship with political figures.
Zuckerberg, who has faced criticism in the past for Facebook’s handling of political content, appears to be reinforcing his support for Trump, a stark contrast to the tensions that have emerged between Big Tech and conservative figures in recent years.
While Zuckerberg’s political moves remain a subject of speculation, his visit to Mar-a-Lago underscores the possibility of a collaborative relationship between the tech world and the incoming Trump administration.
As Zuckerberg continues to navigate his position within the tech industry and political landscape, his interactions with Trump signal a shift in alliances, potentially paving the way for future cooperation as Trump prepares for his second term.
