Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen is making a new comedy about Donald Trump

Paul Moore

The two really don’t like each other. This could be amazing!

Given the litany of absolutely batshit crazy events that occurred in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (always important to get the full title in there), it’s easy to forget Sacha Baron Cohen’s very visible potshot at Donald Trump.

In a film that featured the worst wrestling match in the history of time (that sequence is still burned into our memory), a man bringing his own shit to dinner, Pamela Anderson being kidnapped in a wedding satchel, and the introduction of the mankini, we won’t begrudge anyone that managed to forget the moment when Borat takes a dump outside Trump Towers.

He might worship the hawk and carry around a jar of gypsy tears to protect himself from AIDS, but Borat was clearly onto something.

Anyway, the star of Bruno and Da Ali G Show has teased a new feature and Donald Trump is the main target.

The new feature seems to revolve around the comedian heading to Trump University as he takes Trump’s advice to go to school and “learn about being funny.”

As you may know, Baron Cohen and Trump have a long history together and it’s far from friendly.

Trump claimed that he was the only person to immediately walk out of an interview with Baron Cohen’s beloved character, Ali G.

The comedian has disputed this claim and said that Trump actually stayed in the room for nine minutes.

In the the 2016 comedy Grimsby, which Baron Cohen starred in and co-wrote, Trump becomes infected with HIV after Daniel Radcliffe’s blood is sprayed into his mouth due to a gunshot.

Given their heated history, we’ve a feeling that this could be a classic.
