resident Donald Trump hosted a previously undisclosed dinner with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook board member Peter Thiel at the White House in October, the company told NBC News on Wednesday.

The meeting took place during Zuckerberg’s most recent visit to Washington, where he testified before Congress about Facebook’s new cryptocurrency Libra. Zuckerberg also gave a speech at Georgetown University the week before, detailing his company’s commitment to free speech, and its resistance to calls for the company to crack down on misinformation in political ads.

Facebook confirmed the meeting to NBC News on Wednesday.

“As is normal for a CEO of a major U.S. company, Mark accepted an invitation to have dinner with the President and First Lady at the White House,” a Facebook spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

A source familiar with the dinner told NBC News that Thiel was also present. It is unclear why the meeting was not made public or what Trump, Zuckerberg and Thiel discussed.

The White House declined to comment.

1. Getting Suckerberg to ensure him that Facebook won't ban political ads (from Russian trolls).

2. Anyone who has a dinner with the Trumpy shows their alignment.

I've been spending less and less time on FB. I never click on ads. Never. I'm in and out. If another social media site opens, I'm moving.

3. Their alignment is MONEY.

4. Maybe he hit Zuckerberg up for a couple million to tide him over.

Just until payday, of course, when his paycheck from Pootie arrives in the diplomatic pouch.

5. I am soooooooooooooo surprised!

Fuckerberg and the fucking moron are a match made in Hell. Hope they both rot there ASAP (like tomorrow, is that too soon?).
