In response, Dante West, one of the former inmates, humorously suggested that a "big, Black man" might take Trump under his wing, implying that even in the confines of prison, unlikely bonds could form.
"Oh, that’s right. You’re saying racists can get along in certain situations, be they sexual?" Kimmel asked, teasingly exploring the dynamics of such relationships.
"I think if there’s any opportunity, it’s for an orange guy like Donnie for sure," West said, continuing the jest about Trump's potential love life in prison.
