Jordan Klepper Reveals Behind-The-Scenes Moment With 1 Of Trump's Biggest Supporters
The "Daily Show" correspondent shared an unexpected anecdote on what happened after a Trump rally.
âDaily Showâ correspondent Jordan Klepper on Thursday detailed a surprising moment with a Donald Trump supporter that didnât lead to any major breakthroughs, but did lead to a âsofteningâ in relations.
Klepper has spent years trolling the MAGA faithful outside of Trumpâs rallies, where Trump supporters often troll him right back. In a clip posted online, Klepper explained how a Trump supporter known for wearing a suit with an image of brick wall on it started âhoundingâ him and his crew outside a rally in Wisconsin last year.

âHe was live-streaming, and he was saying, âfuck these guys, donât talk to these guys, these guys are fake news,ââ Klepper recalled. âAnd to be fair, heâs right.â
Klepper said the Trump supporter even tried to set up a camera to catch him and his crew in a âgotchaâ moment.
âIt was a long, hellish day of filming,â he said, adding that a snowstorm made it all worse and cancelled his flight home. He went to the airport the following day to find his new flight was 3.5 hours late â and to see that the man in the brick suit was waiting for the same flight.

âHe looks at me and he says, âdo you want to talk?ââ Klepper recalled. âAnd obviously Iâm like, âfuck no, I donât wanna talk.â This is a nightmare.â
But they did talk, and they had an open conversation as they learned about each other.
âThere wasnât a middle ground that we found, but there was a softening in those relations,â Klepper said. âIâd like to tell you like that Brick Suit Guy was crazy, and heâs not. He was a smart guy.â
They spoke for 3.5 hours â and eventually, Klepper got the man in the brick suit to laugh.
âAnd to me, that is the whole thing,â Klepper said. âHe wasnât offended. He didnât take it personally. He found humor in that moment, and I find optimism in that.â
