Spencer Pratt recently shared touching insights from his memorable visit to the Oval Office of former President Donald Trump, a visit that was made even more meaningful by the presence of his son, Gunner.
The television personality and ex-Los Angeles mayoral hopeful delighted followers with a photograph of 8-year-old Gunner enjoying a unique moment in history. The snapshot captures the young boy confidently positioned in front of the stately, yet unoccupied, presidential desk. Dressed sharply in a dress shirt, suit, and black pants, Gunner beams with an infectious smile while resting his arms on two chairs, embodying joy and innocence.
Pratt, reflecting on his visit, drew parallels between his political aspirations and his role as a father, expressing that his dedication to his country reflects the same intensity as the love for his child.
In a social media post, he wrote, “You must love your country the way you love your child. Unconditional love.” He emphasized the importance of instilling accountability by saying, “You make sure they play by the rules.”
Pratt continued, underscoring the depth of his commitment: “But no matter what, you love them with your whole heart, you wake up every day thinking about how to be of service to them, and you would die to protect them.” Such sentiments reveal the profound personal values that drive his public endeavors.
Pratt posted his visit with Trump soon after announcing his first post-election initiative: the WAR Foundation, which he said would use “hard-hitting media, investigative research, educational campaigns, and strategic partnerships in government and media” to promote its message.
His new foundation was officially filed with the California Secretary of Stare on June 24 by his campaign staffers Gabriel Mann and Briana Bilbray.
Pratt described it as an effort to employ “innovative media” to “advocate for transparency, accountability, and integrity in government and culture.”
“Our biggest weakness today is the lack of courage in leadership and culture; everyone wants common sense, but everyone is too afraid to demand it,” he wrote.
The former candidate had ran a viral campaign for Los Angeles mayor over the past year after his home in the Palisades burned down from the devastating wildfires. His campaign attracted nationwide attention from conservatives and pundits for its use and sharing of catchy ads, including some generated by AI.
Pratt ended up losing out in the June primary, finishing third behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and city councilmember Nithya Raman.
Trump, however, seems to be like Pratt and had even urged him to dispute the June primary loss.
It’s unclear what was discussed in Pratt’s meeting with the president, and The Post had reached out to those involved for comment.
Pratt is married to another reality TV personality Heidi Montag and has two sons with her.
