Sarah Palin meeting with Donald Trump tonight

Potential Republican presidential candidate Sarah Palin will meet this evening with real estate mogul Donald Trump, who earlier this year flirted with a presidential campaign, according to a Trump adviser.

The two plan to go out to dinner and meet at Trump's "primary residency" at Trump Tower in New York City. Trump's wife Melania Knauss-Trump will be present at dinner.

"The governor's office reached out to Mr. Trump, they are friends and they've often spoken about when the governor would be in town to get together for a meeting and a dinner, and the governor's obviously in town," Trump attorney and adviser Michael Cohen told CBS News.

Cohen could not say what Palin and Trump planned to discuss, and said Trump was not planning on making a public statement about the meeting. The former Alaska governor is currently in the middle of a bus tour that stops in New York City this evening.

In this way, Trump can counsel Palin on how to retreat with tail between legs like after Obama kicked his arse.

And yet, Trump won because Obama was forced to show his BC after refusing for three years.

Trump nailed Obama!!!

This is strictly business. She needs help and he is willing to provide it, if she plays by his rules. They both know that they can milk millions out of the comservatives. All they need to do is cough up a nasty hairball once in a while and they get a big payday.
Facts and truth have never been in trumps way before. These people have something for everyone. The lovers and haters all get what they tune in for.
