Mr. Donald Trump, what makes you think Bill Gates will close up the internet for you?

QUICK PILL

• \"Somebody will say, \'Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech.\' These are foolish people. We have a lot of foolish people.\"

• Bill Gates has refused to respond to Trump\'s ridiculous statements while Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos wants to send Trump into space.

After facing flak for his rancid comments on Muslims, refugees, disabled people and blacks, Donald Trump is at it again with the most bizarre statement of all. Mr Trump wants to close down internet (Remember internet and not intranet) and wants to join forces with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to achieve his so-called aim.

At a campaign event on Monday night, the GOP presidential front-runner said ISIS terrorists are recruiting people online, especially targeting kids.

Meanwhile, Bill Gates is very active on the very same internet but has not responded to Trump's plea for help through Twitter or Facebook.

Trump has been pretty good at poking the bears in Tech Land - Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos tweeted earlier this week that he'd love to send Trump to space.

Finally trashed by @realDonaldTrump. Will still reserve him a seat on the Blue Origin rocket. #sendDonaldtospace https://t.co/9OypFoxZk3
