Interesting Facts, Height and Trivia :

Zac opined that email should start reflecting the form of Twitter, as most people do not have time to read blocks of text anymore. He suggests email be reduced to headlines and links.
On the other hand, Zac finds it troubling how much Twitter (now called X) is affecting America through Donald Trump’s effective use of this social media platform. It is astonishing that markets can be moved, and countries are angered into moving their armed forces through this platform’s use. He believes Trump’s use of social media had changed from when he was a candidate to when he was a President. Before that, it was just a campaigning technique, while now it is something more insidious.
Zac once made a statement that “When he wakes up and realizes that yes, it’s true, Donald Trump is president of the United States.”
In 2018, Zac made a public statement in which he said he would no longer appear on Fox News, as he felt that even though he was pushing back against Right-Wing violence, at times, it was becoming too extreme. He felt it was more useful to walk away than to give it his time and attention. This decision followed a viral news feed in which Corey Lewandowski mocked a Down syndrome girl separated from her mother at the border.
