Bill Gates Mysterious Meeting W/Trump

1. Gates could be striking a deal w/Trump. China? Charitable work? Gates foundation? Diseases? But he better have a team of lawyers ready if Trump promises him anything, since the liar will likely go back on his word.
2. Gates is assessing Trump's mental state of mind. If you have more money than mostly anybody in the world, what would you do w/ it if you didn't like the current POTUS? Yeah... Gates could use that money to funnel money to the Dems in the coming months, giving more power to the blue wave.
3. Gates is still thinking about running for President and wants an inside look into how Trump operates. If he sees things bad enough and wants to fix it, he'll announce that the meeting quickly changed his mind about not running

Two Billionaires are meeting today. Bill Gates, the guy who said he's not running for President, is meeting w/the current POTUS today.

Three scenarios could be at work here. It's not just a sit and greet/photo-op.

Only part of #1 seems in any way realistic, as that's what we've already been told: https://www.axios.com/bill-gates-do...aid-1b415af3-ec61-472e-a423-b9e80b0e4273.html. The rest of it is silly. Gates' primary interest is in foreign aid, not pumping money into political campaigns, certainly not assessing the President's mental state for nuclear brinksmanship (seriously, why would anyone care what Gates has to say on the subject, anyway)?

Gates is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a secret non-partisan group that most former presidents are part of. I don't think Trump is a member yet.

Who knows what the meeting was about.

We’re not sure why McCabe was fired. But Trump’s tweet suggests the worst.

'I think the rest of the world will never see us quite the same' | MSNBC
01/04/18 11:20 AM
By Steve Benen
Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, said something in a radio interview yesterday that’s worth remembering.
SiriusXM’s Pete Dominick asked Haass, who used to be a preeminent voice in Republican foreign policy circles before taking over the non-partisan CFR, about how foreign officials perceive Donald Trump’s presidency. Haass briefly reflected on international bewilderment before concluding:

“I think the rest of the world will never see us quite the same. I know that sounds quite strong, but if this could happen once, why couldn’t it happen again?
“I think the rest of the world will never put so many eggs in America’s basket again. I think the rest of the world will adopt something of a hedging strategy – because if this happened once, how do they know that there won’t be elements of this again in our future?”.....
