I was reading some analysis that says Trump doesn't really care about your politics - just that you're charismatic and have some sort of political power. Given his relationship with Putin, Kim Jong Il and other whack jobs, and now this leftwing ratbag I tend to agree.
I don't like that many people that start off working for him on his own side tend to get spat out and mangled after dealing with Trump. The place is littered with the corpses (metaphorically speaking) of people that have been allied with him in his own circle.
I don't think either side is setting aside any differences.
People read too much into stuff.
It's the first time they have met, i'm sure reality will kick in soon.
