Jason Miller, senior transition adviser to Trump and Vance, discusses the push to dismiss Trump’s criminal case in New York, pardoning Hunter Biden and the potential role of some prominent public figures in Trump’s policies.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is seeking an “active role” in shaping the incoming Trump administration’s tech policy, despite his brief history of warring with the president-elect over censorship, and at one point even suspending it from Facebook.
Given Trump’s long history of building broad coalitions that include his former critics, senior transition adviser Jason Miller insisted that aspect is an integral part of his governing style and is likely to continue, but with the caveat, that Trump “never forgets.”
“Two things can be true at the same time,” Miller said FOX Business’ Maria Bartirama on Wednesday.
“We know from President Trump’s way of governing in his first term that he likes to build a broad coalition, to bring people together, even if they’ve been against him in the past. He never forgets, and I would just remind people of that.”

He continued: “We talked about the censorship that we’ve seen in the past. Obviously we had filing boxes in 2020 and all that nonsense, so President Trump is going to build these coalitions, but I would just warn people that President Trump has a long memory.”
Zuckerberg reportedly had lunch with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida last week, according to new White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, who shared the news during an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” last week.
The chief technology officer is known to have come under fire for censoring information about the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a letter to Chief Justice Jim Jordan, D-Ohio, earlier this year, he admitted bowing to perceived pressure from the Biden administration to remove content from his platforms.
MARK ZUCKERBERG VISITED TRUMP IN MAR-A-LAGO, REPORTEDLY ‘WANT TO SUPPORT NATIONAL RECOVERY’
Incoming White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller joins “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss President-elect Donald Trump’s transition to the White House and his meeting with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Miller noted that Zuckerberg is not the only executive visiting Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
“Everybody wants to be a part of this administration because they know it’s going to take off like a rocket. As for Zuckerberg, I wouldn’t necessarily define a (specific) role…but we know that the president isn’t necessarily. there have to be committees or people in the building, he’ll call executives and CTOs and foreign leaders he can get things done so quickly because he knows how to cut through the nonsense so the staff and all the noise can just get to the source,” he said.
“If we can get some support and cooperation, whether it’s from Zuckerberg or any other CEO who hasn’t previously supported the president, great, let’s get them all on board. But again, there’s one person making those decisions, and that’s President Trump.”
