Bill Gates reveals surprising takeaways from dinner with Donald Trump

Bill Gates has revealed how he sat down for dinner with Donald Trump and came away 'impressed' with the President-elect. The tech mogul and philanthropist recounted his extended sit-down meal with Trump and offered a rare glimpse into the private discussion with The Wall Street Journal.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Bill Gates shared insights from a dinner he had with former President Donald Trump, focusing on Trump's views on climate change and his approach to policy-making. Gates noted that Trump was not particularly interested in the scientific details of climate change, instead focusing on how it could be leveraged for political gain. Trump expressed a desire to "win" on the issue, suggesting he saw climate policy more as a competitive arena rather than an environmental necessity. Gates also mentioned that Trump's decisions often seemed to be influenced by a desire to undo the policies of his predecessor, Barack Obama, rather than a deep understanding or commitment to the issues at hand. This approach, according to Gates, was indicative of Trump's broader strategy in governance, where personal and political victories were prioritized over policy substance.
