On Sunday, Forty-fifth President and leading 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump demanded, in a post on his successful social media platform Truth Social, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg be prosecuted for allegedly violating a Georgia election law in 2020.
“He cheated on the Election(s). The whole system is RIGGED. Why isn’t he being prosecuted? The Democrats only know how to cheat. America isn’t going to take it much longer,” Trump wrote.
According to a letter from The Honest Elections Project obtained by Fox News Digital, a Zuckerberg-connected group, the “U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence”, may have violated Georgia state law when they successfully donated $2 million to a Georgia election board.
The letter demands an investigation and slams the “flagrant and egregious” donation for violating a state ban on private funding.
“No superintendent shall take or accept any funding, grants, or gifts from any source other than from the governing authority of the county or municipality, the State of Georgia, or the federal government,” Georgia’s 2021 reform law reads.
Honest Elections Project Executive Jason Snead told Fox News, “We’re now fairly well convinced this is an attempt to do two things.”
“To get around those bans on private funding by doing either what they did in DeKalb County, by looking for loopholes and end-a-rounds, doing what they can to get money into these offices; or by doing what I think they feel is even more important work, which is to pump influence into these offices,” Snead added.
The letter exposes Zuckerberg for donating $250 million to the Center for Tech and Civic Life and Priscilla Chan for the sole purpose of funneling money into 2020 local election boards across the country.
“This massive influx of funding – which ultimately topped $400 million – was met with heavy criticism driven by post-election analysis that revealed the money was overwhelmingly funneled to Democrat-leaning jurisdictions,” the letter reads.
If these violations of state law are true, then those responsible must be held responsible or else Americans’ faith in elections, which is already shaken, will continue to damper.
Zuckerman is just a CIA bagman.
RE: ‘America Isn’t Going To Take It’
Alas, I wish Trump was right.... but I think he overestimates the sanity of nearly half of the American electorate.
True, if anything, Trump proved how many idiots there really are out there.
I’m a huge Trump supporter, so I don’t want to give him a hard time on this, but ...
While campaigning in 2016, Trump rallies echoed with the cry: “Lock her up!” and Trump directly told Hillary that she should be in jail.
Then Trump won, shrugged, and indicated that he was just joking.
Should Zuckerberg be prosecuted? I think so. I’m not sure how Trump feels about it.
More overuse of word “allegedly”. There’s no confusion about whether this has been proved.
RE: True, if anything, Trump proved how many idiots there really are out there.
I oftn hear Politicians say “The American people.... (put your own issue here) “.
When you hear that, just Remember, by that, it really means, Americans who agree with me. That might not necessarily mean most Americans.
And what do most voters want? Pork, lots of it!

Well put.
Was Zuck a guest at Don and Melania’s wedding?
If not, then he is modembly going to be donning an orange jumpsuit.
/snark off
I think Trump wanted to be magnanimous. It was a huge mistake. He needed to take the kill shot but he was naive. He didn’t realize the severity of the evil he was facing. He is not vindictive and he was/is up against people like the Clinton’s who will kill you if you give any sliver of opportunity. His miscalculation has brought near ruin to our country
Totally agree. I think that he learned something. But, honestly, I’m not sure that he learned something. I can see him doing it again. And also hiring some “conservative” Washington insiders (Mitt Romney, Lyndsay Graham, Jeb Bush, etc.) to help guide his second term. Didn’t work so well last time, but maybe next time, eh?
I want a scorched earth approach, and I hope Trump really does as well.
Trump not vindictive?

“I have friends who can have war with someone and then go back and be best friends,” he said. “I can’t be that way…. You have to remember who the loyal ones were and who were not, and if you don’t, you’re a total schmuck. And if I have a chance to hurt these people who weren’t loyal to me, I will. Call that vindictive. Call it what you will…. People who wouldn’t talk to me three years ago now call up and want to kiss my ass. I tell my secretary, ‘Rhona, call them back and say, “Mr. Trump told me to tell you, ‘F*** you!’ ” then hang up.’ ”
Cool graphic, but ..who plays the role of the man behind the curtain in your adapted screenplay?
It may all be true, but Trump has to focus on the future if he’s running for president.
Trump obviously. Just like this latest rant of his, he's a tough talker, but never willing to put in the actual work like Zuckerberg did. For some, Trump's rants are more than enough to earn their undying support. For me, the rants are pretty much worthless, if not counter productive. Like Q, they give a false sense that things are getting done. And they're probably laughed at by the left as being nothing but hot air. Yes I'm over Trump, and his talk.
Good quote, but a little old.
Heck, in the interim he’s arguably even retired from grabbing obliging members of the fairer sex in a certain, shall we say, passionate way?
Not that he’s necessarily morphed into the mellowest of fellows. That’s pretty obvious.
Oh, I get it.
Yeah—in the Wizard of Oz they were the same person!
“Yes I’m over Trump, and his talk.”
A little drastic IMHO.
Trump walked the walk for many an arduous Mike as POTUS, for one crummy term before the Uniparty/Deep State disposed of him like a used kleenex.
I’m being precise here. Trump is a very tough adversary and l would not want to to go against him but l don’t think he is vindictive
