“Every day Present” correspondent and part-time host Jordan Klepper is understood for his capability to commiserate with the MAGA legions and reveal their cult-like dimensions, however for his newest “Finger the Pulse” section, it looks as if even he’s misplaced the thread. Regardless of being named responsible of over 34 felony counts in a scandalous hush-money case involving a porn star and tabloid journalism, Donald Trump nonetheless manages to have a grip on the bottom of the Republican social gathering and Klepper got down to perceive why.
