(Trump, 79, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/president-donald-trump-supports-spencer-pratt-for-l-a-mayor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently endorsed Pratt\u2019s candidacy<\/a> though the reality star later denied that he is aligned with MAGA politics.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince he\u2019s a moderately famous person, he gets attention. He\u2019s on the news. He\u2019s on social media. For the first time in his life, people are agreeing with what he has to say. It\u2019s hard not to agree with what he has to say,\u201d Kimmel argued. \u201cHe\u2019s angry about the same problems a lot of people here are angry about. Does he have solutions to those problems? No. But at least he\u2019s acknowledging that they are problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The late-night host went on, \u201cSo, then this angry reality star \u2014 who grew up wealthy and popular and is not very wealthy or popular anymore \u2014 really starts to enjoy the attention. He starts to think, \u2018I should be mayor,\u2019 which is a statement that should make everyone laugh. But not everyone is laughing. Not everyone sees this as a joke. Right now, if you believe the polls, 22% of them are going, \u2018You know what? You should be mayor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel suggested that Pratt \u2014 like Trump \u2014 is totally unprepared for the realities of being an elected official should he actually win the mayoral race.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4345197\" style=\"width: 900px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:100%;\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n Jimmy Kimmel; Spencer Pratt<\/span> <span class=\"credit\">Disney\/Mark Seliger; Dimitrios Kambouris\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou think this guy wants to sit through city council meetings all day talking about zoning?
