Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg had a
private meeting with the president-elect today at Mara Lago. This was just confirmed by Trump aide. Stephen Miller. Now, Zuckerberg did not endorse either candidate during the election but did tell Bloomberg in an interview that Trump standing up and pumping his fist telling crowds to fight fight fight. After the first assassination attempt was quote, 1 of the
Most I've ever seen in my life, back with us, Maggie Haberman, who reported that story for the New York Times. So Maggie won't work. Can you tell us about this meeting between the president-elect and Mark Zuckerberg? So we're still learning about it. John uh it was earlier today is our Be there in Zuckerberg showed up in. Florida with, uh, some of his advisors. Uh, it's not clear that whether Zuckerberg South this meeting or Trump, South this meeting. But, uh, 1 person described as Trump essentially saying,
Mara Lago and as you said, Zuckerberg had expressed praise for Trump earlier this year, for his defiant posture after he was Shot in in Butler.
Assassin. It's interesting a couple of things about this, you know, clearly
The person who who largely drives or shares with Trump his Hardline uh immigration agenda. And so it's really interesting hearing Stephen Miller talking about this meeting on television earlier. I think we will learn more but we are seeing as with a number of Industries but certainly, the tech industry. A lot of people coming to Trump and not the other way around. Miller Zuckerberg Dynamic. Really interesting to note that so other than these meetings,
Trump is by large filled out a lot of his administration way quicker than he did in 2016. So the question now is, what does he do with December, for instance, do you have any sense of of how we plan to spend his time?
Golfing. Um, you know, meeting with people at Mara Lago. I think enjoying the time that he's still in Florida before he comes back to Washington, which has never been a city, he especially loves. Uh, you know, I I think,
Trip somewhere it's possible. That I don't think there's any plans to at the moment. I think the goal was to try to get as many of these positions in place as possible for a variety of reasons. But 1 is so that hearings, you know, assuming that they don't
Shove a lot of these more controversial nominees through which I think, is not likely, it's still possible. I just think it's not likely at the moment. Assuming there are uh, hearings and Senate conference.
Very fast. So the Trump can hit the ground running once he gets in office. Uh, that is part of the goal for this Breakneck Pace. It's also to avoid some of the jockeying that you had in.
Transition. It's not to say there has not been a lot of internal knife fighting in this 1. Because there has, it's just been different. All right. Maggie stick around. I want to bring back Scott Jennings in former Democratic Congressman, mondaire Jones Scott. Let's just start with this Mark Zuckerberg meeting.
Driving fast can get you fine but driving slow can be dangerous.
