Mark Zuckerberg's support for President
00:00:01
Trump isn't a shock to people who know
00:00:03
or work with him, according to a report
00:00:04
in the Financial Times. Those close to
00:00:06
Zuck say the shift is just him showing
00:00:08
the world his authentic self instead of
00:00:09
trying to be a good boy. Look, let me
00:00:11
just tell you, he's always been a jerk.
00:00:14
Always, always, always. This stuff that
00:00:16
he's doing now is just a version of it.
00:00:18
Especially the outfits. He like sweated
00:00:20
insecurity since the get-go. You want to
00:00:22
take off the hoodie? No, I never take
00:00:24
off that. I know you don't. What's with
00:00:25
that? There's a group of women in the
00:00:27
audience that wish you would. Girls.
00:00:29
Whoa.
00:00:31
He was always somehow trying to impress.
00:00:33
What do you think? I mean, literally the
00:00:34
first thing he said to me is, "You think
00:00:36
I'm an don't you?" I don't even
00:00:38
know you. Like, it was so weird and
00:00:40
performative. He was always ever like
00:00:42
this and he will always be like this.
