Thread: Facebook CEO Zuckerberg Blasts Trump's Trade and Immigration Rhetoric

by Aaron Pressman APRIL 12, 2016, 1:49 PM EDT

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sharply opposed some of the ideas being promoted by top Republican presidential contenders Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz.

Without naming the top two GOP candidates, Zuckerberg blasted the ideas of building a wall, keeping out immigrants, and blocking global trade. Speaking at Facebook’s F8 developer conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, Zuckerberg spent the first 10 minutes of his keynote talk addressing politics instead of programming.

“I hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as others, for blocking free expression, for slowing immigration, reducing trade and, in some cases around the world, even cutting access to the internet,” said Zuckerberg.

“You have to be optimistic to think that you can change the world,” he continued.

Trump has repeatedly said that if elected, he would construct a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico and get Mexico to pay for it. Trump has also proposed imposing stiff tariffs on goods imported from China and Mexico. Both Trump and Cruz have pledged to crack down on immigration and deport people already in the United States.

“Our lives are connected and whether we’re welcoming refugees fleeing wars or an immigrant seeking a new opportunity, whether we’re coming together to fight global disease like Ebola or to address climate change, I hope that we have the courage to see that the path forward is to bring people together, not push people apart, to connect more, not less.” Zuckerberg concluded. “We are one global community.”

All Marc Zuckerberg cares about is how many more people can join FB. Billionaires like him don't care about people like you or me, they care about large numbers that drive their business'. They can separate themselves from all the crap here and have whatever they want when they want. Too many Americans have their heads in the sand to realize that what they take for granted may soon be history.

And there you have it, the only reason there's a STOP TRUMP, NEVER TRUMP, ANYONE BUT TRUMP campaign: immigration and trade policies. Trump wants to fix them to help our country and citizens and they don't. These STOP TRUMP, NEVER TRUMP, and ANYONE BUT TRUMP people are the liars, cheaters, thieves and traitors who have destroyed our country.

STOP THEM.
