(115,661 posts)He doesn't have any talent, either, so his involvement will mean exactly nothing. Raw Story must be desperate for new clickbait.

(41,832 posts)I refuse to go to any rawstory link, so I can't tell you if the story is accurate or not, but with the part posted above, it makes it appear he was a hire.
I can't stand Penn fwiw, but I also despise clickbait.

Penn told CNN that the meeting did not mean he was working for Trump or advising him going forward.
"I am not in any way working for Donald Trump and not counseling him," Penn said in an email on Tuesday.
