    Bill Gates made some eyebrow-raising claims about President Donald Trump on Thursday, saying he doesn't know the difference between two sexually transmitted diseases and that it was "scary" how much Trump knew about Gates' daughter's appearance.

    Taking audience questions about his interactions with Trump at a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation meeting, the former Microsoft honcho said he first met Trump in December 2016. He told the audience that Trump had previously come across his daughter, Jennifer, at a horse show in Florida.
    "And then about 20 minutes later he flew in on a helicopter to the same place," Gates said, according to video of the event broadcast by MSNBC late Thursday. "So clearly he had been driven away but he wanted to make a grand entrance in a helicopter.
    "Anyway, so when I first talked to him, it was actually kind of scary how much he knew about my daughter's appearance. Melinda (Gates' wife) didn't like that too well."


    Gates also said he discussed science with Trump on two separate occasions, where he says the President questioned him on the difference between HIV and HPV.
    HPV stands for human papillomavirus and is defined by the US National Institutes of Health as "a group of related viruses" which is sexually transmitted and can cause some types of virus, warts and cancer. HIV -- human immunodeficiency virus -- is a sexually-transmitted disease which breaks down the immune system and can lead to AIDS.
    "In both of those two meetings, he asked me if vaccines weren't a bad thing because he was considering a commission to look into ill-effects of vaccines and somebody -- I think it was Robert Kennedy Jr. -- was advising him that vaccines were causing bad things. And I said no, that's a dead end, that would be a bad thing, don't do that.
    "Both times he wanted to know if there was a difference between HIV and HPV so I was able to explain that those are rarely confused with each other," Gates said.
    CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

    Trump is such a fucking creeper. Who goes up to another man and father and physically describes their daughter??

    What's worse is Trump really believes in disprovable conspiracy theories and relies on them for policy decisions.

    As usual when it comes to Obama, your opinion is clouded by your intense dislike for the man. Everything you listed as a criticism above is either just flat out wrong or not accurate.

    Red lines... "While some Israelis were initially very worried that by pulling back from military action Obama had undermined his credibility, they were relieved by the outcome. The removal of Syria’s chemical weapons is an accomplishment that Prime Minister Netanyahu, a leader who has had his share of disagreements with Obama, described as “the one ray of light in a very dark region.” Such sentiments were echoed repeatedly by senior Israeli defense officials, who by 2015 considered the Syrian chemical weapons threat so insignificant they did not include gas attacks as a scenario in their annual emergency home-front drills." https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/07/obama-syria-foreign-policy-red-line-revisited-214059

    Rise of ISIS..."Trump points to the withdrawal of troops from Iraq in 2011, under Obama, as “the founding of ISIS,” but experts say the expansion of the Islamic State after that point can’t be pinned on the troop withdrawal alone — if at all. And there’s the fact that President George W. Bush had signed the agreement and set the date for that withdrawal."
    https://www.factcheck.org/2016/08/trumps-false-obama-isis-link/

    Race relations....I can post link after link after link of Obama calling for racial unity

    NSA power...
    "Under Executive Order 12333 as it previously existed, NSA analysts had to make an initial determination and apply a set of privacy rules before sharing raw signals-intelligence information with other parts of the intelligence community. After this change, it doesn’t necessarily have to be an NSA analyst that makes that determination—that information can be shared with other parts of the intelligence community.

    So it doesn’t change the substantive rules, it doesn’t change the scope of collection, it doesn’t change the types of protection, it doesn’t change the possible uses; it essentially just broadens the group of people who can apply those protections to the raw intelligence." https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/01/obama-expanding-nsa-powers/513041/

    Fast and Furious...a tragic event, but no scandal...."Yet when one digs into the facts of the scandal—and a terrific piece of journalism in Fortune this week is a great help—it becomes clear that Fast and Furious has been blown completely out of proportion by Republican leaders, and a terrible yet all too common tragedy on the United States’ border with Mexico has been fashioned into an ugly political weapon." https://www.thenation.com/article/facts-get-way-gops-fast-and-furious-investigation/.

    Will finish the others later

    Not really. Dotard is going to either:

    1.) Have one too many cheeseburgers and croak
    2.) Get impeached
    3.) Lose the next election
    4.) Get stabbed by Melania

    At minimum, at lot of blue jackets are going to be ice grilling him after midterm election.

    Personally I want to see him impeached so I can lol at the temper tantrums.

    Lol! I like all of those options. Part of me would love to see him really throw a hissy if he doesn't have a congress kowtowing to his whims, and turning the other cheek to all of his cruddy shit. Hopefully, the midterm election results will provide that chance as it's more than clear that these current morons are simply falling in place behind the ultimate moron.

    I had a Trumpster today reciting his same BS lines about "donating millions and millions", accumulating "billions and billions" in wealth, and my favorite... donating his salary. I asked the guy... Given the braggart he's always been... Why do we not know if these charities that are supposedly receiving these "millions and millions" each year? Is that "billions and billions" before or after his liabilities and debt? And why is it still a secret? Finally... OK, in regards to the donated salary... Have you considered the vast amounts he's been billing the U.S. Government since he's gone under USSS protection? His response was that my questions/allegations are "made up socialist lies by HRC, Obama, Bernie and other unAmerican commies". I actually think he doesn't get the concept of debt and liabilities. I'm still chuckling. You just can't make this shit up:).

    Lol
    1. maybe, he does have nonclinical coronary atherosclerosis, and high cholesterol
    2. No proof of crimes that rise to the level of being impeached yet, even if such proof is presented, it is still a VERY unlikely scenario that he would be impeached and removed, two different things.
    3. Far from a done deal, Trumps approval ratings are rising
    4. She's not going anywhere, she knows where her bread gets buttered....

    I disagree on the midterms. I could be wrong (of course.) He definitely won't lose the next election. All this is assuming democrats keep running on the platform of "we don't have any policies to put forth, but we hate Trump, is that enough?"

    Don't forget that they're plenty of people who boarded the Trump train, but now that he's well into his agenda... They're still not "winning", and have developed buyers' remorse. Admittedly, his base will stick to him like glue no matter what, but are they enough?

    Again, I say... It'll be interesting to see how he copes if the midterms go well for the Dems, and he can no longer roll along virtually unchecked.

    Dude that's exactly what Dotard has based his presidency on, hate for Obama and reversing anything he accomplished. You just projected that obviously.

    Hell, that's the same thing that Republicans spent years doing when Obama was in office. No actual plans for anything just constant, non-stop opposition and it worked out pretty well for them electorally. The GOP proved beyond a reasonable doubt that obstruction without ideas is a winning political formula.

    Bout as loud as I was laughing when the clowns that voted for him didn't know that the affordable care act was "Obama care" and that they would be loosing their health care. Lmao.

    Also there are the idiots that got their family members deported because they voted for Dotard.

    For me this was the funniest election in more ways than one.

    absolutely not, but aside from the spending bill and the spending bill and the tweeting and thin skinned behavior I have no issues with his presidency so far.
