Why is Zuckerberg infinitely more qualified than Trump? Both came from wealthy families. Both are billionaires. Both are only capable of running due to their billionaire status. Neither has any experience of any kind in politics.

Folks were worried about Trump's conflicts of interest, but Zuckerberg quite literally owns one of the nation's largest news redistributors which is already actively taking steps to control which news is shared.

Not just the nation. He controls much of what the developed world sees and reads, and has access to and control over much of the developed world's public and private communication.

Trump made a large fortune into a small one. Zuckerberg did better, financially, and probably in a much harder industry .

Because Trump likely has true psychiatric issues.
