Trump has also met with several prominent athletes. Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. made a visit in November to Trump Tower to visit the President-elect. More recently, retired NFL stars Jim Brown and Ray Lewis sat down with Trump. The retired football greats met with Trump to discuss Brown’s Amer-I-Can program. The program focuses on steering kids away from gang activity and violence. According to Lewis, “The bottom line is job creation and economic development in these urban areas to change the whole scheme of what our kids see.”
Wednesday, Trump will host a tech summit that will include tech investor Peter Thiel, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, among others. Facebook, Alphabet, Intel, Oracle, Cisco and IBM will also have top executives present at the summit.
One thing is clear, during the transition period between Barack Obama’s administration and Donald Trump’s inauguration, the President-elect will have heard from a broad range of individuals and experienced a very diverse set of opinions.
