When Bill Gates brought up the vacant White House science adviser position to President Donald Trump in an Oval Office meeting last month, Trump immediately offered him the position—only to be rebuffed.
“That’s not a good use of my time,” Gates responded, according to an interview he did with health care news site Stat published Monday.
The two have reportedly met three times since the 2016 election, and Gates said he spoke with Trump about topics ranging from global pandemics to vaccinations.
From a real billionaire to a fake one, from a real self-made business titan to a pale imitation of daddy’s real estate deals, thanks, but no thanks. You’re beneath me and you always will be.
But you can still get those howling crowds of deplorables in coal-and-opioid country. And that’s the approval you really crave, right, Donald?
Wish he’d said
Donald here’s a half billion . Go away
Should be enough for your Trump Tower in Moscow
Gates, Macron, Abe, whoever…
Why do these people keep meeting with him? Do they think they will be able to reason with him?
Listen up people, he’s an idiot. Full stop. Don’t waste your time. Even if he agrees or promises something when you meet with him, his word is worthless, he’ll change his mind as soon as you leave the room and Fox and friends comes on.
I don’t know who is stupider sometimes…
The Science Advisor Trump will settle for:
To be honest, another CEO-type is the last thing the WH needs.
And his foundation’s forays into US public education demonstrate he doesn’t have all the answers nor is he particularly adept at building consensus among the stakeholders.
