Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Friday commended former President Donald Trump’s fist pump reaction immediately after shots rang out and a bullet grazed his ear, calling it “one of the most bad-[expletive] things” he had ever seen in his life.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Mr. Zuckerberg recalled how the former president stood up after the near-miss on his life, and with the American flag flying in the background, he raised his right arm, pumped his fist in the air, and yelled, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” The photograph of that moment has been so widely distributed that it has already been hailed by some as iconic.
