In all fairness the term was never meant to be a compliment.

Someone needs to inform the Gates that the needs of this country outweigh the needs of other countries. America first, idiots.

Gates can give away $10 million per day — every day — and not run out for about 25 years. Instead of trying to direct where my tax dollars go, he can start by selling off his $125 million mansion and begin living a little more modestly.

and continue investments in poorer countries for the sake of global security

Perhaps Bill can explain the ROI here...

Why didn’t Bill and Mel urge Obama to respect people and not cut domestic jobs? Obama didn’t just add to the pile of jobs lost by the 2006 Congress and Bush. He multiplied on it and destroyed millions of wage and salary positions that were full time jobs, leaving only a handful of contractor positions for everyone to lower their prices over. Millions of jobs that would have produced revenue that could have provided aid in a way that doesn’t bankrupt the giver or spoil the receiver. Where were Bill and Mel while all this was happening?

The big scam about foundations is that they are only required to spend 5% of the money per year, so with an investment in stocks and bonds the principal never goes down.

When the Gateses have given the foreign poor their fortune down to where they have left only the assets of the average American family, have their children attend public schools, and have moved down to a human-sized house—then maybe I’ll be ready to hear such advice from them to President Trump.

“Bill did give away his fortune to his foundation to give away.”

ALL of it? When he and Wifey are living in a 2,000-square-foot house and driving 10-year-old vehicles, and his bank balance is pitiful, he can talk. Until then, STFU.

The Gateses are big population control supporters, and the federal income tax that makes foreign aid practical does not respect the people from whom the money is taken.

The charge of the President is to respect the CITIZENS of the United States. To favor an autonomous, random pile of non-citizens over citizens is to disrespect our citizens.

Bill, take an extra vaccine dose with extra mercury and aluminum.

Gates is a slime bucket Satanist.

Gates and his pals have plenty of money to take care of foreigners. The US needs to take care of Americans.

The saddest part of Billy’s comment is that Trump proposed massive cuts but that was mostly ignored by Congress. We need a Congress that puts America first. We already have a President in that mode.

That’s if the funds weren’t kept in MSFT stock. You don’t put billions into pedestrian investments.
