Trevor Noah took aim at former President Donald Trump and the Ohio GOP on Monday night while recapping the latest news about the state’s upcoming primary election.As it stands, there are four candidates running for the Republican senate and Noah mocked each of them during “The Daily Show” for spending their campaign “trying to show that they are the Trumpiest” — even after several of them had denounced him during his time in office.“Basically everyone spent this entire race trying to get the seal of approval from King Donald.
