President Donald Trump hosted a dinner Thursday evening at the White House to support the administration’s new Artificial Intelligence Education task force, chaired by first lady Melania Trump. The attendees were the who’s who of Big Tech world, including Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

For many conservatives, it’s hard to wrap your brain around the visual of billionaire Bill Gates being seated next to a smiling Melania Trump at the recent event, especially given Gates’ villain-like status among Trump’s most loyal base. Still, the gathering highlights that the president’s sights are set on America’s next great war.
