Bill Gates and Trump

Chris Hayes is going to have some footage of Bill Gates speaking to an audience, detailing his encounter with trump. I'd suggest tuning in if you can. Looks like it will be entertaining. Coming up shortly.

The message is confrontational, but he cannot confront Gates as himself. He has to confront from a third person because he's a coward.

"IQ45" is accurate.

He was there and then left so he could fly back in by helicopter.

He skeeved both Bill and Melinda out with his description of their daughter.

He planned to set up an anti-vaccine commission.

He didn’t know the difference between HPV and HIV.

He spoke of himself in the third person.

I thought the helicopter thing was so narcicisstic. And yeah, he skeeved out the Gates by recalling too many personal details of their daughter's appearance. I wonder exactly what it was that he said?

The hpv and hiv thing shows how ignorant he was the first time Gates had to explain it and how stupid he was the second for not learning it the first time, or doing his own reading.

Rachel predicted IQ45 will have a pretty ugly reaction when he sees this.
