Mark Zuckerberg Takes A Dig At Donald Trump During Facebook Speech

Standard

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized Donald Trump and his anti-immigrant rhetoric with a thinly veiled reference to the Republican presidential contender during a speech to lay out his vision for the social media giant's future. 

"I hear fearful voices for building walls," Zuckerberg said in his keynote address to the Facebook Developer Conference on Tuesday. "Instead of building walls, we should build bridges."

"Instead of dividing people we can connect people. We do it one person at a time, one connection at a time. That’s why I think the work we’re doing together is more important than it has even been before," he said, according to The Guardian

His comments contrast with Trump's repeated calls for building a wall along the border with Mexico. Trump recently unveiled his plan for getting Mexico to pay for its construction by threatening to block workers in the United States from remitting money home to their families. 

Zuckerberg used the remarks to couch his vision for a hyperconnected world where people communicate with one another via Facebook products.

Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liarrampant xenophoberacistmisogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims -- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion -- from entering the U.S.
