A blindly devoted person that will clap and support anything someone else says, even when it is insulting or demeaning to the clapper. Especially from a leader or figure of power and especially when the leader is directly insulting the follower. The follower still claps and supports the leader, not realizing or understanding the insult. Mindless followship.
The President told his followers "I could say the stupidest things, and you'd clap", and like clap monkeys, they clapped.
