PANews reported on August 30 that according to POLITICO, former US President Donald Trump wrote in a new book to be published next week that Mark Zuckerberg conspired against him during the 2020 US election and said that if Zuckerberg did it again, he "would spend the rest of his life in jail." This represents Trump's latest attack on Zuckerberg, who he has repeatedly accused of interfering in the last US presidential election. This remark also came against the backdrop of Meta taking steps to assure conservatives that it would not influence this year's campaign.
Save America, a book written by Trump and to be published on September 3, includes an undated photo of Trump meeting with Zuckerberg at the White House. Trump mentioned that Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, donated $420 million to fund election infrastructure during the 2020 election. "He told me that no one can compare to Trump on Facebook. But at the same time, for some reason, he steered it in a direction that is not good for me," Trump said. "We are watching him very closely, and if he does anything illegal this time, he will spend his life in prison - the same goes for others who cheat in the 2024 US presidential election."
