You may’t repair loopy, however you can doc it—which is lucky for Jordan Klepper. The MAGA magnet is celebrating Monday’s at-long-last return of The Daily Show with a brand new version of “Fingers on the Pulse,” which was recorded eventually week’s Donald Trump rally in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.
Whereas five-plus months aways from a job may go away even probably the most seasoned professional a bit of rusty, the Day by day Present correspondent proved that he hasn’t missed a beat—and that sparring with MAGA morons might, in actual fact, be the position he was finally born to fill. “For higher or worse,” Klepper admitted. So he didn’t waste any time in getting again to the enterprise of desperately making an attempt (and finally failing) to grasp the extremely complicated mindset of Trump’s most clueless ride-or-dies.
Since Might, when TDS and its fellow bastions of late-night TV went darkish because of the latest writers’ strike, Trump has been holding busy, each together with his 2024 presidential marketing campaign and “juggling sure authorized commitments,” Klepper famous—a not-so-subtle nod to the ex-POTUS’ numerous indictments and courtroom appearances.

He’s additionally dealing with 91 felony expenses that would finally see him sentenced to 641 years in jail. However Trump’s supporters don’t appear anxious… even when they will’t preserve his authorized woes straight.
“I believe they’re simply making an attempt to throw him in jail,” provided one attendee who channeled his personal interior orange-tinged warrior and declared all of it “a witch hunt”—simply as the previous president had stated so many occasions earlier than. Sadly, this explicit MAGA couldn’t keep in mind precisely when Trump had used this phrase, however he’s fairly certain it was proper across the time “the woman expenses” had been introduced in opposition to him.
“Girl expenses: Is that Stormy Daniels girl cost or sexual assault,” Klepper requested. And whereas the man wasn’t completely certain, he thinks it was the latter—and likewise thinks Trump was discovered responsible in that exact lawuit, however once more wasn’t certain. Nor does it matter. As a result of what he’s 100% constructive about is that hell yeah he’ll be on Crew Trump in 2024.
“Finally, I puzzled would these MAGA trustworthy ever care about any of those prison expenses,” Klepper defined, then answered his personal query with “Most likely not. Exhibit A: Simply ask what their favourite rally was!”
