Political Detox Week started 2016-12-05 if my math is correct, and ended a couple days later. The meeting with Trump was on 2016-12-14. I don't see any reference that Y Combinator in general or Sam Altman in particular attended, though there are references "among others" and such, so I couldn't say definitively.

Regardless, it looks like they didn't coincide; they were a week apart.
