_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has orchestrated a calculated political pivot following Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Typically aligned with progressive causes and Democratic figures, Gates is now publicly expressing eagerness to collaborate with the Trump administration.

Last week, Gates attended a high-profile White House tech summit alongside industry leaders from Google, Meta, Apple, and OpenAI, where he discussed the White House's cooperation on projects like AI's potential applications in global health.

_THE FACTS_

  • Bill Gates donated an estimated $50 million to Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign.

  • At the White House tech summit, Gates focused on his "second career" in philanthropy, telling President Trump that AI could act as "a doctor for everyone in Africa."

  • The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation recently cut ties with Arabella Advisors, a progressive dark-money network.

  • This came in the wake of Trump policies slashing funding for nonprofits like Arabella.

  • Gates was seated next to First Lady Melania Trump at the dinner, a position of honor in White House protocol.

  • The tech dinner sparked immediate backlash from MAGA. Conservative commentator Robby Starbuck called Gates "a globalist who hates the America First ideology."

  • Conservative influencer Mike Cernovich stated, "There is no reason for Bill Gates to be in the White House."

  • Gates supported an incredibly strict COVID-19 response, which many conservatives view as causing severe economic damage.

  • Since 1997, Gates has been involved with the World Economic Forum — a globalist project opposed by the populist Right.

_INSIGHTS_

Gates' sudden transformation is quite simple: the Microsoft billionaire needs political allies to accomplish his new tech goals, and President Trump wants more investment in the US. Despite his cozying up to Trump, Gates still pushes globalism and climate change initiatives, while MAGA champions national sovereignty and energy dominance.

For Gates, who has invested billions in creating a vast network of influence over global health policy, losing access to the administration would threaten his ability to direct progressive, international priorities.

Bill Gates philanthropy has killed many in Africa. His support of the COVID shenanigans and link with Fauci provided evidence of diabolical nature. He is a criminal and should be in prison, not visiting the White House.

NO NO NO. GATES IS A PSYCHOPATHIC MONSTER! Look at his KILL record. Using humans as lab rats for his evil shots. How many has he killed? How many girls killed and maimed I’m India by his madman experiments? President Trump should distance himself as far as possible away from this evil. There are other ways and doors into Tech.

President Trump is a master at courting people who add a lot to his agenda, which angers a lot on the right. Gates will no doubt benefit from an alliance with Trump, but his global focus is still problematic, and the President should be wary of his influence.

No, I don’t trust Bill Gates’s dream or vision at all! He can be very sneaky! Don’t let him chess mate you! Keep your eyes and ears open and be on the look out what he is up to.

Yes, take his money and put people to work, but discredit his progressive policies and globalist intentions.

Take his money, but with EXTREME vigilance and caution. Must keep a very close watch on what he is doing behind the scenes and what his ulterior motives are. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

I dont think its a good idea. When you take money, you are controlled.

This smells bad. I would not. Anything that Gates wants is likely with corrupt motive.

Absolutely not. Gates' agenda is to kill off millions worldwide, in order to lower the population of the earth. Of course, he plans to stay alive and control the masses. (Hmmm... maybe by harvesting organs from those he kills, so he can achieve immortality live forever with Xi, Putin, and Kim?) He's one of the largest, if not the largest, owners of farmland in America; that way he can control our food and starve or poison us to accomplish his aims.

Gates is banned in several countries so President Trump should be wary and cautious when working with Gates. He is poison imo.

No, no, no!! He should not be involved. He is not trustworthy. He has openly shown his true agenda.

I see this as a smart move by the President. There’s a saying….keep your friends close, and keep your enemies closer.

Bill Gates and his putrid foundation have a long history of being tied to the atrocities of the health industry. Mr. self-proclaimed "health philanthropist" is a big fan of vaxxing everyone and anyone. Look at all the irreparable damage his vaxxing initiatives and funding have done to countries like India and Africa. He's a big fan and funder of "reproductive care" (aka - mass abortion/sterilization) proponent. One of the largest donors to vile institutes like Planned Parenthood. All adds up to depopulation folks in the most sinister ways you could imagine. If I know this and we know this, then I'd like to think Trump and his Admin. are very well aware who Gates really is. He's nothing more than a big player (ex. Soros, Clintons, Obama's, etc.) from the dark side of humanity that needs to be neutralized. Hoping this is Trump putting him on display to show America who's in control now. As with most things of this nature these days, I'm cautiously hopeful..

Deport Bill Gates and his wife, they are traitors and maybe even Communists, they cannot be trusted. They're as bad or worse than Soros and his son.
