Trump Says He Supports Spencer Pratt for L.A. Mayor, Calls Him "A Big MAGA Person"

Potentially bad news for Spencer Pratt: The president just expressed support for Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral run.

Donald Trump was asked Wednesday by reporters if he sees himself in Pratt, as they were both former reality TV stars who entered politics.

“I’d like to see him do well, he’s a character,” Trump replied. “I assume he probably supports me. Does he support me?”

A reporter off camera replied, “I think so.”

Running as an Independent. Sounds like LA might be screwed if they elect him.

MAGAs are some seriously fucked up people.

I just saw Spencer Pratt resharing supportive posts from an awful pop culture podcaster who supercharged his audience off smearing Blake Lively, so this trend is already continuing. Pop culture power = political power
