Bill Gates has hit back at Donald Trump after the president took a victory lap over the billionaire philanthropist’s new controversial climate memo.
“It’s a gigantic misreading of the memo,” the Microsoft co-founder told Axios Tuesday.
Trump, conservatives and anti-climate activists lauded Gates’ 17-page memo as what they saw as a rebuke of the climate crisis. Trump wrote on social media that he had “just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax” because Gates had “finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue.”
