First Al Gore. Now Leonardo DiCaprio has bent the ear of Donald Trump on how to save the planet.
US magazine noted that the movie star met with the president-elect and his daughter Ivanka Trump at the Trump Tower “to discuss ways that creating green jobs could help the nation’s economy.”
“According to a statement that Terry Tamminen, the head of the actor’s eponymous environmental foundation, released Wednesday, he and ‘The Revenant’ star, 42, met with the Trumps for about 90 minutes, during which they laid out a ‘framework’ for how the incoming cabinet can be more considerate of the environment.”
DiCaprio was quoted Thursday at the meeting as saying: “Our conversation focused on how to create millions of secure American jobs in the construction and operation of commercial and residential clean, renewable energy generation.”
On Twitter, some suspect Trump did a job on DiCaprio.
