Former Trump Adviser Appointed President of Meta

In a major move that’s sure to send shockwaves through Silicon Valley and the D.C. swamp alike, Meta Platforms has named former Trump administration official Dina Powell McCormick as its new president and vice chairman. Her appointment marks a stark and refreshing pivot away from the company’s long history of leftist posturing and into a bold new alignment with the America First vision.

Just minutes after the announcement, President Donald Trump congratulated Powell McCormick on Truth Social, calling her “a fantastic, and very talented, person, who served the Trump Administration with strength and distinction!” Indeed, she did. And now, she’s poised to bring that same effectiveness to a company in desperate need of strong leadership and common sense.

Powell McCormick, who previously served as Trump’s Deputy National Security Adviser and held top roles in both the Trump and Bush administrations, brings real-world policy experience to a company that until recently was more concerned with censoring conservatives than building anything of value.

Her appointment is not an isolated event it’s the culmination of a strategic course correction by Mark Zuckerberg and Meta’s leadership:

• Meta scrapped its biased U.S. fact-checking program, notorious for targeting conservative content.

• Republican Joel Kaplan was elevated to Chief Global Affairs Officer, replacing key voices of the platform’s progressive past.

• The company ended its divisive diversity programs, which had long served as little more than corporate virtue signaling.

• Former Trump trade adviser C.J. Mahoney now leads Meta’s legal team, replacing a Biden-era holdover.

All of this comes as Zuckerberg himself has reportedly sought President Trump’s support for building new data centers and expanding energy infrastructure for Meta’s future in AI. The company is throwing billions up to $72 billion in 2025 capital spending into frontier artificial intelligence and so-called “personal superintelligence.” But without Washington on board, none of that progress sticks.

That’s where Powell McCormick comes in. Her new role will focus on growing Meta’s investment capabilities, expanding data centers, and forming strategic partnerships many of which intersect directly with federal energy policy. That’s no accident, considering she’s married to Sen. David McCormick (R-PA), who chairs the Senate subcommittee on energy.

Of course, the usual suspects are already screeching. Left-wing tech watchdogs are calling for her husband to recuse himself from anything involving Meta. But these are the same groups who had no problem with Sheryl Sandberg’s deep ties to the Democratic Party or Jennifer Newstead’s time in the Biden administration. Their outrage is as selective as it is hypocritical.

Make no mistake Meta is repositioning itself in anticipation of Trump’s return to the White House. With Trump surging in the polls and the Biden administration collapsing under the weight of its own incompetence, smart companies are getting ahead of the shift. Powell McCormick’s elevation is a sign that Big Tech is finally waking up to reality: if you want to build, innovate, and succeed in America, you need to stop fighting the people who built it in the first place.

The Trump era wasn’t just a four-year fluke it was a movement. And Meta, for once, seems to be getting on the right side of history.
