Stop the presses: President Donald Trump took to X declaring, “I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax.” And in a plot twist worthy of a D.C. miniseries, he credited none other than Bill Gates for finally saying the quiet part out loud.

According to Trump, Gates “admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue,” adding that it “took courage” and offering thanks—MAGA-style. For those keeping score at home, that’s the world’s most famous climate funder getting a presidential attaboy for a change of tune.

Newsmax reported that Gates acknowledged there is no “doomsday” risk from climate change. In his Gates Notes memo, the Microsoft co-founder urged a move away from a “doomsday outlook” and toward improving living conditions in developing nations. Translation: fewer apocalypse sermons, more real-world solutions—like focusing on the people who actually need help. Imagine that.

So yes, the president’s message was simple: the scare tactics are losing their grip, the narrative is shifting, and even the climate world’s top investor is telling folks to calm down and look to practical progress. That’s a win for common sense—and for a future built on optimism, innovation, and American leadership.
