Bill Gates took the trek to Trump Tower Tuesday to kiss the ring.
Gates was the latest of the famous folk to visit the President-elect. He was preceded by Kanye West, Jim Brown and Ray Lewis … all of whom had a chitchat with Donald Trump.
It’s interesting … for the most part famous people — especially in Hollywood — wouldn’t dare visit, much less support Trump, but it’s amazing how a little thing like an election and the thirst for access can change things in a flash.
