Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview released on Friday that he's not endorsing a candidate for president but praised former President Trump's reaction to the assassination attempt he survived over the weekend.

"Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life," Zuckerberg said.

"On some level, as an American, it’s like hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that’s why a lot of people like the guy," he added.
