Bill Gates Goes MAGA: ‘Impressed’ by Trump’s Performance
In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has expressed his admiration for President Donald Trump’s economic policies. During an interview with CNN, Gates stated that he was “impressed” with the Trump administration’s efforts to reform the tax code and reduce regulations, which he believes have led to increased economic growth and job creation.
Gates, who has long been a vocal critic of the Trump administration on issues such as climate change and trade policies, seems to have softened his stance on economic issues. He credited the Trump administration with implementing policies that have allowed businesses to invest in research and development, hire more employees, and increase their exports.
While Gates stopped short of endorsing Trump, his praise for the administration’s economic policies marks a significant shift in his public stance on the President. The billionaire has historically been a key player in Democratic politics and has vocalized his opposition to many of Trump’s policies.
In the interview, Gates emphasized that his admiration for the administration’s economic policies did not necessarily extended to other areas, such as healthcare, immigration, or environmental policies, which he believes are being negatively impacted by the Trump administration.
