Jimmy Kimmel's Prophecy: 'Diddy' Would be a Better President than Trump

In a 2018 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," the late-night host joked with Sean "Diddy" Combs about the music mogul running for office and outperforming then-President Trump. Combs playfully declined, acknowledging his shortcomings, but Kimmel retorted that "almost anybody would be doing a better job" than Trump.

In a 2018 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," the late-night host joked with Sean "Diddy" Combs about the music mogul running for office and outperforming then-President Trump.

"By the way, President Trump had his own vodka, it didn’t work out anywhere near as good as yours. Maybe you could be president. Do you ever think about anything like that?" Kimmel asked.

Combs humbly replied, "I wouldn’t make a good president."

"I wouldn’t really pass any of the things that you have to pass. But I guess Trump did it," he added, eliciting laughter from the audience.

"You would be a Boy Scout by comparison," Kimmel told Combs.

"Yeah," Combs jokes back. "Nah, I like what I'm doing."

"There's no fun in that, is there?" Kimmel said of running for office. 

"I don't think I could be responsible for the whole country," Combs replied.

Undeterred, Kimmel quipped, "You know what, I think that at this point? Almost anybody would be doing a better job," referring to Trump.

After Combs posed the same question to him, Kimmel joked that he "wouldn't do a better job" as president, but if Combs ran, he "would be happy" to be his running mate. 

"I say that because I know you won’t [run]," he added. 

The 2018 clip resurfaced on social media after Combs was arrested on Monday following raids on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami connected to a federal human trafficking investigation.

Combs appeared in Manhattan federal court Tuesday where he pleaded not guilty to multiple sex crimes. He faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars or a maximum sentence of life in prison if found guilty.

On Tuesday night, Kimmel shared the news of Combs' arrest before playing a clip of Trump hosting "The Celebrity Apprentice" in 2006 where he praised the rapper.

"I love Diddy. You know he’s a good friend of mine, he’s a good guy," Trump told contestant, singer Aubrey O'Day. "Is he a good guy?""

"I don’t want to answer that question," O'Day says in the clip.

"Oh well I think he’s a good guy, I’m going to stick up for him," Trump said.

Kimmel quipped, "To be fair, he also thinks Kim Jong-Un is a good guy, so only the best people."
