Bill Gates Shares His Memories of Donald Trump (cnn.com)
MSNBC recently published a video of Bill Gates telling his staff at the Gates Foundation that he had two meetings with Donald Trump since the president was elected. In the video, Gates says Trump doesn't know the difference between two sexually transmitted diseases -- human papillomavirus (HPV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -- and that it was "scary" how much Trump knew about Gates' daughter's appearance. Gates also said he urged Trump to support innovation and technology during those meetings. CNN reports: Taking audience questions about his interactions with Trump at a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation meeting, the former Microsoft honcho said he first met Trump in December 2016. He told the audience that Trump had previously come across his daughter, Jennifer, at a horse show in Florida. "And then about 20 minutes later he flew in on a helicopter to the same place," Gates said, according to video of the event broadcast by MSNBC late Thursday. "So clearly he had been driven away but he wanted to make a grand entrance in a helicopter. "Anyway, so when I first talked to him, it was actually kind of scary how much he knew about my daughter's appearance. Melinda (Gates' wife) didn't like that too well."
Gates also said he discussed science with Trump on two separate occasions, where he says the President questioned him on the difference between HIV and HPV. "In both of those two meetings, he asked me if vaccines weren't a bad thing because he was considering a commission to look into ill-effects of vaccines and somebody -- I think it was Robert Kennedy Jr. -- was advising him that vaccines were causing bad things. And I said no, that's a dead end, that would be a bad thing, don't do that. "Both times he wanted to know if there was a difference between HIV and HPV so I was able to explain that those are rarely confused with each other," Gates said.

I voted for Obama and used to think that was a good thing. But what has it gotten us? Executive overreach, deteriorating race relations, increasing inequality, a stuttering recovery, a missed opportunity on health care reform, political polarization, and foreign policy disasters. And the problem was exactly that Obama was really smart, wanted to do everything himself, and ended up micromanaging. Obama represents the hubris of technocrats, progressives, and intellectuals. And it's Obama's miserable performance as president that paved the way for Trump.
4) Didn't hate them.
5) When choosing sides, picked the American side.
6) Didn't bend a knee to the press or the politically correct censors.
7) Wasn't trying to tell them there are 14 genders and only 12 of them get to decide how everyone must do everything.
8) Didn’t tell them America was doomed to mediocrity and hopelessness.
I absolutely don't trust Gates. The man has repeatedly lied and connived the world, a snake and weasel. DJT might "test" Gates some way to see his response either as an intellect, as a biased advocate, or as a useful advisor.
It is fair for DJT to quiz an involved party about "differences" in vaccines and viruses. I don't expect DJT to be a molecular biologist.
Gates certainly flunked DJT's loyalty and discretion tests. I do suspect that Gates is engaging in character assassination and misrepresenting his interactions.
He raw-dogged a porn star. Whatever he may have once known about STDs, his dementia has caused him to forget.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Like when Trump asking Russia to recover Hillary's emails was a joke?
Welcome to 2018. The Left has decided that context, intent, and humor doesn't matter.
Your ilk shat the bed. Now you can fucking sleep in it.
Hillary For Prison.
