Bill Gates says Trump has the opportunity to be like JFK
CNBC ^ | December 13, 2016 | By Matthew J. Belvedere

President-elect Donald Trump has an opportunity to establish "American leadership through innovation," Bill Gates told CNBC on Tuesday.

"A lot of his message has been about ... where he sees things not as good as he'd like," the billionaire Microsoft co-founder said on "Squawk Box."

"But in the same way President Kennedy talked about the space mission and got the country behind that," Gates continued, "I think whether it's education or stopping epidemics ... [or] in this energy space, there can be a very upbeat message that [Trump's] administration [is] going to organize things, get rid of regulatory barriers, and have American leadership through innovation. . ."

I guess Trump could be an incompetent boob who betrays people who relied on the United States resulting in a new Communist hellhole right next to us, and then nearly gets us into a thermonuclear war.

But why would anyone hope for that?

You mean these guys who backed Hillary might actually figure out that Making America Great Again might be a good idea?

This globalist tool is trying to sugar coat Marxist indoctrination centers and forced vaccinations.

Does he mean that Trump should start abusing methadone and Ritalin, or that Trump should start screwing anything that moves in the Oval Office?

Please, no.

“To raise awareness for the topic of sanitation and possible solutions, Bill Gates drank water which was “produced from human feces” in 2014 – in fact it was produced from a sewage sludge treatment process called the Omni-processor.

In early 2015, he also appeared with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show and challenged him to see if he could taste the difference between this reclaimed water or bottled water.”

techie wanker trying to rescue his importance— other than having money, that is.

Better hope it’s not JFK or a re-invention of freaking “camelot”... but in comparison to “afri-coke-alot” much more promising, since JFK was an anti-communist.

agree with you on the “betrayal” part, cause Dulles’s plan required air support, and JFK cancelled it— dooming the invasion. Can lay that at the feet of the “establishment” commie left in his cabinet, and JFK’s limited command experience in a greater theater.
