“I will put you in jail,” Trump threatened Mark Zuckerberg

Former President Donald Trump recently escalated his long-standing feud with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg by threatening to imprison him if he perceives any illegal interference in the upcoming 2024 election. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump stated that if re-elected, he would aggressively pursue those he labels as “election fraudsters,” and specifically mentioned Zuckerberg as a target. Trump warned that Zuckerberg could “spend the rest of his life in prison” if he engages in any unlawful activities related to the election.

This threat follows a history of tension between Trump and Zuckerberg, particularly after Trump’s accounts were suspended from Facebook following the January 6 Capitol riots. The former president has consistently accused Zuckerberg of working against his 2020 campaign and continues to maintain claims of widespread election fraud, despite these claims being repeatedly debunked.

Trump’s comments have raised concerns about the potential misuse of presidential power and the broader implications for democracy in the United States if he is re-elected.
