Mark Zuckerberg's support for President Trump isn't a shock to people who know or work with him, according to a report
00:00:04
in the Financial Times. Those close to Zuck say the shift is just him showing the world his authentic self instead of
00:00:09
trying to be a good boy. Look, let me just tell you, he's always been a jerk. Always, always, always. This stuff that
00:00:16
he's doing now is just a version of it. Especially the outfits. He like sweated insecurity since the get-go. You want to
00:00:22
take off the hoodie? No, I never take off that. I know you don't. What's with that? There's a group of women in the
00:00:27
audience that wish you would. Girls. Whoa. He was always somehow trying to impress.
00:00:33
What do you think? I mean, literally the first thing he said to me is, "You think
00:00:36
I'm an don't you?" I don't even know you. Like, it was so weird and performative. He was always ever like
00:00:42
this and he will always be like this.
