MADISON (WKOW) — Former Governor Tommy Thompson, who earlier this month left his post as interim UW System president, met Thursday with former President Donald Trump in what a source described as a broad conversation about the 2022 campaign season.

Thompson has not ruled out running for governor himself but said he was going to take the month of April to consider his political future before making any decisions.

A Republican source close to Thompson confirmed the former four-term governor was meeting with Trump at the Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

The source said Thompson was not specifically seeking to land Trump's endorsement should he run for governor but the source noted Thompson would especially stand to benefit from Trump's support since he'd be a late entry into the Republican primary.

Instead, the source maintained Thompson was meeting with Trump to discuss a broader view of Wisconsin politics: the U.S. Senate race where Sen. Ron Johnson is seeking a third term, the governor's race, and what it takes for a GOP candidate to win a statewide contest in Wisconsin.

2. Tommy Thompson is a jerk

I knew the guy when he was in law school and he was a jerk then. He has not changed; if anything, he is even more of a jerk than he was, because he doesn't have his brother Eddie around to keep him honest. Eddie was a colorful character (to put it mildly) who could pop out of the woodwork at inconvenient times and tell Tommy about himself. He would be horrified at Tommy even thinking of associating with the Slobfather. Unfortunately Eddie died in 2015 (or thereabouts) and even his ghost can't help us now. But look him up. He was great.

5. There's probably more to the story...

He's come off his high from from running the UW system.

Thompson is plugged in. Im sure with the polarization of GOP here Thompson will give him "feedback". I will bet not all of it good.

I didn't think he was crazy enough to hang with Trump.
