@GottaLaff Has he previously had influence on him?
@GottaLaff hahaha good luck to him. Also Gates owns so much farmland across the USA. Why, Bill? What are you whitewashing with your health initiatives?
Bully for Bill Gates. 
I suspect his voice is not as loud as Peter Thiel's, for example, whose advice appears to align more closely with Trump's natural inclinations.
@GottaLaff The fucking billionaire could step in, if he damn well wanted to. 
@mfennvt Isn't that what he's doing?
@GottaLaff Not as much as he could. Billionaire foundations are a PR stunt, so they can pay even less taxes, from what I've read. And Gates' work in Africa is seriously problematic.
@GottaLaff @mfennvt He could put his money where his mouth is. He won’t.
His foundation is about reputation-washing, not actually helping anybody.

@GottaLaff Hey Bill Gates, you should include the U.S. in your health program lobbying!
