On Thursday morning, Reverend Al Sharpton was surprised by a phone call from none other than the president-elect, Donald Trump.

“We did talk briefly. I was surprised and candid about our sharp disagreements and so was he,” Sharpton said.

Sharpton said that Trump thanked him for speaking well of his outer-borough business achievements on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

He went on to say that it is important for those who disagree to be able to have a dialogue, saying, “He met with Mayor de Blasio who is critical, like I am, of him.”
