Yet again, for reasons undisclosed except in the vaguest terms possible — "discussing the importance of U.S. global health programs and health research" — the president welcomed arguably the world's most egregious and prolific criminal, whose unparalleled psychopathy is financed by his ill-gotten fortune in the hundreds of billions, Bill Gates.

This is at least the third private meeting Trump has entertained with Gates dating back to 2016.

Via Fox News (emphasis added):

"Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates went to the White House on Tuesday for a meeting with the president, according to a Gates spokesperson.

In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, the spokesperson noted, "Bill met with the president to discuss the importance of U.S. global health programs and health research that is necessary to save lives, protect Americans' health*, and preserve U.S. leadership in the world."…

Prior to the president's inauguration for his second term, Wall Street Journal Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker asked the mega-wealthy figure whether he had met with Trump since Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential contest.

Gates said that they had a "quite intriguing dinner," noting that it lasted more than three hours."

*The notion that Bill Gates in any way whatsoever concerns himself with "protecting Americans' health" is so delusional that anyone who would buy that line in 2025 is too far gone to be saved.

If whatever these two are discussing is on the level, why did the White House not provide a press release detailing what they covered? Why is not on the presidential schedule?

And, a broader rhetorical question that applies on a bipartisan level to all high office holders: why, in Our Sacred Democracy™, are elected leaders allowed to meet with sketchy billionaires in private?

Last week, in suspect timing, per The New York Times, Gates strategically severed ties with the shadowy Democrat money-laundering firm Arabella Advisors.
