    Bill Gates declined the offer, telling the president that it was “not a good use of my time.”https://usat.ly/2HCseQ9

        @RealDonad_Trump @BillGates thank you Mr. Gates stay strong. You don't need the headache of this administration or any association with him whatsoever. Don't ruin your reputation regardless of your party affiliation.

        White House is a place for hiring and firing @ a standard three months. A great reputation could be soiled shortly by a brief romance with the White House of 2018 dispensation.... Careful man, don't be tempted... Stay clean!

        The hatred is read between the lines. Very different styles of leadership and world views. Gates was making a social statement. Without tact. But to be fair. Trump has little tact in most things either. Opportunity missed for both.

        But if he works then he has to pay taxes again ! ! That’s not going to work ! ! What’s non-profit, what’s not non-profit ? ! ? Just how can you have an estimated 90 billion and still be non-profit ? ! ? The answer: only billionaires can accomplish this ! !

        ‘Not a good use of my time’??? I think Bill Gates should rethink the words he let out of him mouth! There is nothing more noble and useful of a persons time then to help his country’s government so they can help its citizens
