1. Sure.

The USA is 'the richest country in the world' (debatable)
and
'Has the most money spent on health care.' (only because there is profit taking at every point)

So why the poor performance?

Obvious answer: It has a leader who doesn't lead, can't lead due to mental incompetence, being unable to read, and just not interested, and worse - feels threatened by more competent people and feels the need to chop them off at the knees.

Satisfactory explanation?

6. I thought Gates was a genius?

I am not, no college education but this mess does not surprise me in the least. Look at the idiot in the WH, surrounded by incompetent "advisors" (Ivanka, Jared? Give me a break) Bill, I am amazed that you did not see this mess coming as soon as the virus hit this country. From day one, it has been allowed to run free. Putin must be delighted at tRump's leadership. So much so, he is planning another four years of this goon. It is past time for people like Gates, who has the ear of influential people, to step up and help save this country before it is too late.

People can't believe it, they say all the time "Trump you are the best example of a human for aliens to do their experiments on because you're such a fabulous specimen of humanity".

(introduces them to Trump)

Aliens: "Look man, we traveled a long fucking way at dangerous speeds to visit this deteriorating hunk of rock, the least you can do is not yank our chains like we're fucking dummies. This bloated circus clown is not your leader. The Apprentice toupee guy? Get the fuck outta here!"

7. It's so hard to have any respect for this man....

he got where he is on IBM's coat tales. He was extremely lucky that Digital Research never returned IBM's calls, and they decided to go with his little start up when IBM got into the PC market. Gates is not a tech wizard, and stole all his best ideas from other people at Xerox Park. He makes me want to puke.

He is so out of touch!!!!!! He attended private schools and now wants to remake our public schools. He is out of touch with the real world from a very early age.
