Donald Trump is less than two weeks away from becoming President again.
His big victory on November 5 shook up the political landscape.
And a Trump ally formed one alliance that nobody saw coming.
Dana White teams up with Big Tech bro
Americans rejected excessive “wokeness” on November 5.
That’s a big reason why Donald Trump won the popular vote in the Presidential election, the first time a Republican had done so since 2004.
That could not have happened if a lot of disillusioned Democrats did not swing over to Trump.
In 2024, Trump got support from people that nobody expected.
For instance, many Silicon Valley bigwigs warmed up to the idea of Trump after seeing how crazy the Democrats had become.
In 2020, Facebook creator and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shelled out $400 million to help Democrats win the election.
But now Zuckerberg is teaming up with one of Trump’s biggest allies.
He recently announced that UFC founder Dana White was joining Meta’s board of directors.
Zuckerberg wrote, “I’m excited to kick off the year with some news we’ve been working on for a while: Dana White, John Elkann, and Charlie Songhurst are joining Meta’s board of directors. We have massive opportunities ahead in Al, wearables, and the future of social media, and our board will help us achieve our vision. Dana is the President and CEO of UFC, and he has built it into one of the most valuable, fastest growing, and most popular sports enterprises in the world. I’ve admired him as an entrepreneur and his ability to build such a beloved brand.”
I love social media. And I’m excited to be a small part of the future of AI and emerging technologies. @Meta pic.twitter.com/Amh5W728og

White supported Trump in 2016, and never wavered despite immense pressure.
White explained that Trump supported him when the UFC was a fledgling enterprise, and he returned the favor.
Trump has been seen at numerous UFC events across the country.
Big change from 2020
As for Zuckerberg, he has certainly not been on the Trump train, but doesn’t seem to be actively helping the Democrats anymore, either.
In a July 2024 Bloomberg News interview, Zuckerberg explained, “I’ve done some stuff personally in the past. I’m not planning on doing that this time. And that includes, you know, not endorsing either of the candidates.”
That was a reference to the hundreds of millions of “Zuckerbucks” he pumped into the 2020 election cycle.
Zuckerberg also revealed his reaction to the image of Trump getting shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.
He said, “I mean, on a personal note. . .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.”
That picture will go down as one of the most iconic in American history.
Zuckerberg added, “At some level as an American, it’s hard to not, like, get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight. And I think that’s why a lot of people like the guy.”
The 2024 election seems to have broken the spell that the “woke” Left had over the entire country.
