Good grief seriously 🤦‍♀️

right? I was seriously very sad when I saw that because I DO like Trump quite a bit. He fights hard for us, I know he does. But this...I mean, Gates is evil incarnate. There is nothing good about that man.

Keep researching

trump. I voted twice for him also. But after so much reading I see him as just an actor in the Hegelian Dialectic. He also did much evil.

As POTUS, one has to mitigate through issues and cannot always get a win-win. I am thinking many times the choice is between the lesser or two evils.

When I get sideways with Trump decisions, I ask myself, would Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton have made a better decision given the circumstances?

We can’t definitively know the answer...but I usually end up backing Trump. His record for good domestic and international decisions overall is the best of any POTUS we have had in my lifetime...unless we can bring back the other actor...Ronnie Reagan.

The Covid bioweapon disaster was a first for any POTUS...who would have done better fighting the Deep State?

We’ll never know.

And I'm not sure Reagan was better, in terms of what was actually accomplished. Trump's record on almost everything is amazing. I think his philosophy is to never admit error, but I do wish he'd be more assertive about the injections and what appears to be the plot behind them, along with the CBDC, the green agenda, etc.; all for control and submission.

True, although as an orator of American principles, Reagan was amazing which accounted for his 2 landslide victories. When he was first campaigning for office, he flew into the mid-west to meet with Gerald Ford. Reagan had an amazing team for his cabinet positions but when the meeting was over, George Bush was named his VP and Reagan's entire team with the exception of James Watts (and he didn't last long as Sec of Interior) was replaced with Bush team B. I knew right then and there, no matter how good Reagan was, the Neocon deep state was firmly in control. You don't get to be president without selling out or catching a bullet. That was the lesson of President Kennedy.

I respect some of the things Gates personally did. I admit I haven't read his biography. Yet I know that he and his fledgling Microsoft can take personal credit for Microsoft BASIC, one of the better operating systems of the late 1970s. That's why it was found on many of the very earliest home PCs in the late 70s early 80s. Gates's and Microsoft's later success can largely be laid to luck; in 1981 IBM picked his as the OS for their not-yet-released PC. It wasn't even their first choice.

yeah, my issues with him are not so much about his Microsoft days, and more around his trying to reduce population, testing vaccines on African countries for years, messing with our food supply, bribing politicians to get our tax dollars, and then of course everything related to his adventures on Epstein Island. And I think he's working on hatching his next scamdemic right now.

He was the same at Microsoft. Look up what he did to all the people who actually did the work around him there and you'll see he's always been the same.

Gates is a monopolist, always has been. That is how he built his empire...on top of other people's ideas usually his naive employees who signed away their creative genius. At what point he developed his god-complex is beyond me.

Curious! What was IBM's first choice ... and why did they not go with it?
