SHE'S NO IVANKA:
Bill Gates: Trump couldn't differentiate HIV from HPV, but was well-versed on Gates' daughter's looks (The Week, May 17, 2018)
Gates explained that he first met Trump in December 2016, but Trump had met his and wife Melinda's daughter Jennifer, now 22, before at an equestrian event in Florida. "So when I first talked to him, it was actually kind of scary how well he knew -- how much he knew about my daughter's appearance," Gates said. "Melinda, didn't like that too well." A big advocate of vaccinations, Gates said he tried to talk Trump out of forming a commission to study the debunked claim that vaccines cause autism, as proposed by Robert Kennedy Jr. Trump did not seem to well-versed on vaccines, or viruses, he added. "Both times he wanted to know if there was a difference between HIV and HPV, so I was able to explain that those are rarely confused with each other."
