Donald Trump addressed reporters Friday with entertainer Steve Harvey at his side — praising his cabinet picks for being themselves during the confirmation hearings.

Asked about cabinet members expressing different views on Russia, Iran and the planned US-Mexico border wall, Trump replied, “That will all get straightened out.”

“We want them to be themselves. I told them, ‘Be yourself, and say what you want to say, don’t worry about me.’ I’m going to do the right thing, whatever it is. I may be right, they may be right.

But I said, ‘Be yourself.’ I could have said ‘Do this, say that’, I don’t want that, I want them all to be themselves,” he explained.

Trump kicked off his very brief availability with reporters by introducing Harvey.

“Here’s a good friend of ours, Steve, everybody knows Steve Harvey. Is everybody having fun?” said the president-elect.

Harvey for his part praised Trump for meeting with him.

“It was a really cool meeting in the beginning. We talked a lot about golf and things like that and people we knew and people in common and then we got down to the crux of it,” he said.

“He’s introduced me to Ben Carson who is now the new head of housing for urban development and we’ve gotta team up and see if we can bring about some positive change in the inner cities which I felt was my only agenda and he agreed and he wants to do something. And he realizes that he needs some allies in that department. And he seemed really sincere about it,” Harvey added.

The entertainer also said he met one of Trump’s “daughters,” though didn’t specify which one. “[S]he was very sweet. So I think we’re off to a good start,” he told reporters at Trump Tower.

Trump and Harvey both have something in common — beauty pageants. Harvey, who famously named the wrong winner of Miss Universe 2015 before embarrassingly corrected himself, will host the Miss Universe contest later this month. Trump was the longtime owner of the Miss Universe pageant.
