Mark Zuckerberg Praises Donald Trump’s 'Bada**' Reaction To Being Shot: VIDEO

Mark Zuckerberg has high praise for how Donald Trump handled getting shot.

The former President and current Republican nominee for the White House was shot in the ear by Thomas Matthew Crooks last weekend, and his reaction turned him into an instant legend in the eyes of many people.

Instead of staying down on the ground or panicking, Trump stood tall with defiance after getting rocked by a bullet and told his supporters to "Fight!"

Mark Zuckerberg praises Donald Trump's reaction to being shot.

Well, the Meta founder and fellow billionaire liked what he saw from Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania and he thinks it's a sign of why he has so many supporters.

"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…At 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 that’s why a lot of people like the guy," Zuckerberg said during a Thursday interview with Bloomberg, according to the New York Post.

Zuckerberg, of course, is 100% correct. What's more badass than getting shot and bouncing back up to hit the crowd with a fist pump.

A former SEAL Team 6 sniper told me that kind of reaction can't be taught. It's either in you or it's not. A former Delta Force operator said the same.

Now, Zuckerberg - a man who once suspended Trump from Facebook - is saying the same. When a guy who might not even like Trump very much is calling him a badass, you know that the feeling is a popular one. How could anyone disagree?

Again, the guy got shot in the ear, and never fled. He never ran away. The former POTUS popped up and sent a jolt of energy through the crowd.
