LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel delved into the hypothetical scenario of former President Donald Trump serving time in prison during a recent segment on his show.

In a comedic exploration of what life might be like for Trump behind bars, Kimmel assembled a group of former inmates to provide insights and jest about the possibilities.

Jimmy Kimmel's curiosity ignited by Oscars joke sparks comedic exploration

Kimmel's curiosity about Trump's potential incarceration was sparked by the reaction to a joke he made while hosting the Oscars, where he quipped about whether it was "past [Trump's] jail time."

This prompted him to ponder what life in prison might actually entail for the former president. To explore this further, Kimmel engaged in a humorous discussion with a group of non-violent former inmates, drawing upon their real-life experiences to speculate on Trump's potential fate behind bars.



 

During the segment, Kimmel posed various questions to the group, ranging from whether Trump could sneak in his favorite fast food to whether there might be a prison faction dubbed the 'orange' gang.

With all the former inmates having served time for non-violent offenses, their perspectives offered a unique glimpse into the potential realities of Trump's incarceration.

Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious inquiry into Trump's romantic prospects

One particularly intriguing topic of discussion was the prospect of Trump finding companionship while in prison.

Kimmel humorously queried the group about the likelihood of Trump forming romantic connections behind bars. 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.
