Officials, reportedly “mystified and a bit unnerved,” discovered Zuckerberg lacked the necessary security clearance and asked him to step outside

A senior White House official denied he was “asked to leave,” saying he simply greeted Trump and waited for his own scheduled meeting

One military insider described the scene as “bizarro world,” highlighting the informal, free-flowing atmosphere of Trump’s West Wing

Zuckerberg—once aligned with Democrats—has recently pivoted toward MAGA, prompting speculation that his Oval Office access signals deeper political alignment
