    His PR company doing the rehab work on his public image is top notch, but they need some new material. This one is such a rerun.

      Just because he’s less of an asshole than Musk or Bezos doesn’t mean billionaires should exist.
      You don’t get $200bn by paying appropriate taxes or wages. Donating most of his money is a good deed and it’s going to help a lot of people, but you just don’t get that much money without stepping on a lot of people too.
      I’m not going to shit on him for doing something good with the money but I’m not going to praise him for having that much money in the first place either.

    Anything to not help poor people in your own country, right Bill? His state has so many poor and homeless folks and he just doesn’t care.

    Not that Africa doesn’t - he’s got enough money that he could do both, though.
