“Daily Show” correspondent Jordan Klepper on Tuesday tried to keep an open mind “without nit-picking” as President-elect Donald Trump names his Cabinet.
He didn’t get very far after he played a clip announcing that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem would be Trump’s pick for Homeland Security secretary.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Klepper said in disbelief. “She’s supposed to get the border under control. She couldn’t even train her dog.”
Noem infamously shot her 14-month-old dog Cricket in a gravel pit because she felt the pup was “less than worthless” and “untrainable.”

The South Dakota governor isn’t the only questionable choice by Trump. Klepper showed the others, then revealed what they have in common with videos of each offering over-the-top praise for the president-elect.
“These people are kissing Trump’s ass so hard they’ve got bronzer on their nose,” he said. “And yes, he puts it on down there.”
