The president-elect's former agent is said to be hoping to discuss some of Trump's initial appointments.

Is the president-elect soliciting help from his former Hollywood agent in selecting a cabinet?

Ari Emanuel, the co-CEO of entertainment and sports powerhouse WME-IMG, was spotted at the Trump National Golf Course in New Jersey on Sunday, and a WME-IMG source confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that a meeting is set for this afternoon. The exact nature of the sit-down is unclear, but the Democratic stalwart Emanuel is said to be uninterested in a job in the Trump administration and instead hopes to discuss some of Trump's early decisions as president-elect.

Trump’s meeting with a ROOMFUL of snakes today show just how mistaken you are about such tactics.

He brought in a few dozen of America’s greatest enemies, ALL more dangerous than the Emanuels. They looked fat and happy upon arriving - shriveled and miserable after an hour of Trump calling them liars to their faces. But in the dsc world this should never happen.

Once again Trump schools the skeptics.

“Trump’s meeting with a ROOMFUL of snakes today show just how mistaken you are about such tactics.”

Buncombe. That was a roomful of people, not a private meeting. Guess you are unable to see the difference.

“But in the dsc world this should never happen.”

I do wish you would stop babbling nonsense.

“Once again Trump schools the skeptics.”

It appears that he kicked butt today. That goes on the plus side of the ledger.

Swearing participants to secrecy makes a meeting private ten people or one. So there is no question that this was a private meeting.

Excerpts from Donald Trump Meets With Ari Emanuel: Inside Their Long-Standing Relationship - ABC, by Lesley Messer, 2016 November 21

..... Though Emanuel was Trump's agent for some time, WME-IMG told CNN Money that the firm no longer represents the president-elect. .....

..... In June, Trump told The Hollywood Reporter that Emanuel, whom he called "a very good friend of mine," offered to helm a movie about the GOP candidate for the Republican National Convention. "He calls me a lot. I call him a lot, and we talk. ..... "But yeah, I might do something with Ari."

..... According to The Washington Post, Trump gave $50,000 to Rahm Emanuel's mayoral campaign in 2010 ..... "I like Rahm, I've always liked him as a person, and more importantly, Ari, his brother, is my agent. So I did make a contribution to him...," he told Rush Limbaugh in 2011 .....

..... In September 2015, WME-IMG acquired the Miss Universe Organization from Trump. Ari Emanuel told The Hollywood Reporter "He was running [for president]. He wanted to sell it," Emanuel explained. "[WME-IMG] said, 'Great, we want to buy it.'"

..... Emanuel donated to Hillary Clinton's campaign... However, he indicated to The Hollywood Reporter that it wouldn't necessarily preclude him from taking Trump back as a client had he lost the election. .....

“So there is no question that this was a private meeting.”

Buncombe. A room full of media swine, private?

Pull the other one, mate.

Was the meeting open to the Public or the uninvited? NO so it obviously was a private meeting.

I am so conditioned by the past couple of decades to expect the knife between the shoulder blades every time a Republican gains power. I can feel the tingling already.

I feel the same thing. I just keep telling myself “Well, at least Hillary ain’t president.”
