Your support makes all the difference.The Daily Show headed down to Trump rallies in swing states Ohio and Wisconsin this week to find out ‘what his supporters know that the rest of us don’t’, and boy did they uncover some staggering truths.
According to one attendee, Hillary Clinton doesn’t actually have pneumonia but possible Parkinson’s, MS or even Aids. “Probably from her husband messing around with that Magic Johnson,” one ardent Trump fan posited.
Other conspiracy theories included Barack Obama being a “Muslim terrorist” and having “a big part in 9/11”.
There’s also a pervasive belief that Hillary has a double that she uses for public events.
The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper decided to show attendees identical photos of her, and they still managed to find one to be her double.
“That little thing on her cheek is very obvious…the scarring down on her throat is different,” one said.
“But they look a ton alike, right?!” Klepper pleaded.
“This one looks a little bit younger,” the man insisted.
Media coverage of Trump was also discussed, with a younger supporter claiming that it under-represents African American Trump voters. Looking around at the rally however, there wasn’t a black face in sight.
