As more evidence comes forth suggesting the Trump campaign had conversations with Russian leaders before the election, it raises more questions.

But there’s one nagging question Trevor Noah can’t help asking.

“How do Trump’s people keep forgetting they met Russians?” he asked Thursday on “The Daily Show.” “Let me tell you something: You meet a Russian, you’ll remember that shit.”

He elaborated: “The moment they say, ‘Hello,’ it’s an immediate fight-or-flight response. You don’t forget that.”

Usually, bobblehead dolls have big heads over tiny bodies. The problem with making a Trump bobblehead doll is that no one is as big-headed as "The Donald." No matter what they do, the head will never be bigger than the real Trump's noggin. ($24.95 each, $39.95 for pair) (credit:TrumpBobblehead.com)
Donald Trump Whoopie Cushion(04 of14)

This functions like a normal whoopie cushion, but it's actually called a Donald Trump Gas Bag, because we're not saying "whoopie" at any aspect of Trump's candidacy.($9.99, gas-bags.com/ (credit:Gas-Bags.com/)
