Here's What Bill Gates Had to Say About His Three-Hour Meeting With Trump

January 19, 2025

Dark money advocate Bill Gates opened up about his three-hour meeting with President-elect Donald Trump, describing the conversation as “intriguing.” Despite their ideological differences, Gates acknowledged Trump’s direct approach and focus on results. The meeting highlighted a surprising level of cooperation between the two. 

In December, I reported that Gates asked Trump if he could visit him at Mar-a-Lago. However, details about the meeting were left unclear. 

However, Gates, one of the most progressive individuals championing globalist agendas, said he was left “frankly impressed” by their “wide-ranging” discussion. 

“I had a chance, about two weeks ago, to go have a long and actually quite intriguing dinner with him,” Gates told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Friday.

“I felt like he was energized and looking forward to helping to drive innovation,” he said of Trump. “I was frankly impressed with how well he showed a lot of interest in the issues I brought up.”

Gates and Trump were joined by Trump’s White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and one of Gates’ staffers.

More from the interview: 

The four of us sat there, and it was quite wide-ranging,” Gates said of the dinner. “I spoke a lot about HIV and that [The Gates] Foundation is literally working on a cure for that. We’re at an early stage, and so he in the COVID days, accelerated the vaccine innovation,” he said.

“So I was asking him if maybe the same kind of thing could be done here. And we both got, I think, pretty excited about that,” Gates told WSJ’s Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker. 

“We talked about polio where we’re very close to getting that done, but if you stop, it’ll spread back,” he continued. “And he was fascinated to hear what he could do to maximize the chance that during the next four years, that incredible milestone will be achieved.”

I felt like he was, you know, energized and, you know, looking forward to helping to drive innovation. You know, I was frankly impressed with how well he showed a lot of interest in the issues I brought up.


Trump has repeatedly clashed with Gates regarding so-called “climate change,” given that Gates is a major advocate of the left-wing climate alarmist agenda. Gates has pushed for large-scale investment in green energy technologies, which Trump has criticized. The incoming president has also accused Gates of supporting global organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), suggesting that it undermines American sovereignty. Additionally, Trump, a vocal critic of China and its growing global influence, has linked Gates' support for international initiatives to what he perceives as the billionaire's willingness to align with China’s increasing role in shaping global policy.
