Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is scheduled to meet with President-elect Donald Trump on Monday, according to a tweet Sunday from Bloomberg Politics reporter Jennifer Jacobs.

"SCOOP: Ex-Texas Gov Rick Perry scheduled to meet with Trump Monday as possible Defense Secretary. @GovernorPerry eyed for Ag, Energy, VA too," Jacobs tweeted.

Within days of Trump triumphing over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the Indiana Republican primary on May 3, Perry advertised his willingness, if Trump were elected president, to serve the Trump Administration in whatever capacity Trump saw fit.

But Perry, who, along with South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, was the only candidate in the crowded Republican presidential field to have served in the military, had expressed a particular interest in serving as secretary of veterans affairs.

Perry joined the United States Air Force in 1972 and was discharged in 1977 with the rank of captain.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Perry was being talked about as a potential secretary of energy. Perry’s first statewide office was Texas agriculture commissioner. Secretary of defense would dwarf those other Cabinet posts in importance and responsibility.

Last year, Perry, in his second presidential campaign, was among Trump’s most vociferous critics, describing Trump in a July 22, 2015 speech as a "cancer on conservatism" and a "barking carnival act" who was "appealing to the worst instincts in the human condition."

A week earlier, Trump dismissed Perry as not too bright.

".@GovernorPerry failed on the border," Trump tweeted on July 16, 2015. "He should be forced to take an IQ test before being allowed to enter the GOP debate."
