An MSNBC video featuring Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates expressing his opinion about former President Donald Trump was used by Inc. Magazine to explain the psychology behind persons similar to Trump.

While addressing the staff of the "Gates Foundation," Gates recounted his peculiar interaction with Trump. The tech billionaire pointed out that Trump refers to himself in the third person.
