President-elect emblem of the dumpster fire that has been the year 2016 Donald Trump has been discussing his transition into the White House with national and foreign political leaders in recent weeks, and he recently had a call with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, according to a Monday morning report.
Politico reports that Trump picked Rahm's brain about his experience advising Bill Clinton and Barack Obama during their presidencies, "and what lessons were learned in their transitions."
The phone call was "cordial," the source told Politico, "and they pledged to keep the lines of communication open in the future.”
Emanuel, who recently announced a new legal fund to help immigrant families, reportedly told Trump that Chicago would "always be a sanctuary city" because of its longstanding immigrant communities.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio talked with the "racist con man" (his words, not ours!) who once called de Blasio "the single worst mayor in the history of New York City" briefly last month. Trump also talked to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti about infrastructure policy and L.A.'s bid for the 2024 Olympics.
