I wanted say no, but we did get Trump. So Zuck being President seems like a real possibility.

They are very different though. One can be charismatic and charming, the other is bland and awkward.
Being famous and rich is not what got Trump in and the factors that got him in would be somewhat different for a liberal. And in the general factors that matter for a president, Zuck has about 0 of the ones that matter (charisma, likeability, relatability, toughness, outspokenness, bluster, comedy, incisiveness, a relatable or admirable background, etc).

He’s a privileged rich white kid on the spectrum, I give less-than-Bloomberg chances (same charisma, less experience and relatability).

Agree on the overall argument, but your assumption that Zuck is a “liberal” seems, on the face of it, pretty unfounded. He financed Republicans and effectively allowed Trump free reign on his platform, over and over.

Trump or Zuckerberg?

A lot of evidences show that what got Trump elected can be resumed in one word: racism.
