Trump meets with Condoleezza Rice — who called for his ouster in October

President Trump and former secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

President Trump solicited foreign policy advice Friday from a former diplomat who called on him to exit the presidential race less than six months ago.

Back in October, ex-secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called for Trump to step down in the wake of an audio tape in which he could be heard talking about forcing himself on women.

"Enough! Donald Trump should not be President," Rice said then on social media. "He should withdraw. As a Republican, I hope to support someone who has the dignity and stature to run for the highest office in the greatest democracy on earth."

All of that seemed forgotten Friday as Rice sat in the Oval Office with Trump.

Afterward, he tweeted: "Great meeting with a wonderful woman today, former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice!"
