Who had Sacha Baron Cohen released a tape of Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani masturbating on their 2020 batshit crazy bingo card? Well, not me. A reporter asked Donald Trump on Air Force One about the now-viral clip showing Giuliani, 76, seemingly in a compromising position.
Trump reportedly told Steve Herman that Sacha Baron Cohen is “a creep,” and added, “I don’t know what happened. But years ago, you know, he tried to scam me, and I was the only one who said no way. That’s a phony guy, and I don’t find him funny.”
Asked if he’s seen the #Borat2 footage and if he’s worried about security breaches, @POTUS replies: “I don’t know what happened. But years ago, you know, he (@SachaBaronCohen) tried to scam me and I was the only one who said no way. That’s a phony guy and I don’t find him funny.”

Well, Sacha had a thing to say about that on Twitter.
Donald—I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either. But yet the whole world laughs at you.
I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, and you’ll need a job after Jan. 20. Let’s talk!https://t.co/itWnhJ8TQF

Aside from what Donald thinks, the response to Borat 2 has so far been positive, with the film holding an 84% rating on review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes. And if Sacha Baron Cohen can punk Trump’s attorney, then a foreign entity could easily do the same. About that 2020 bingo card — I didn’t have Cohen helping us save democracy on it.
And since Trump brought up the word ‘creepy,’ the footage that emerged of the president’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani interacting with Borat’s teenage daughter, played by 24-year-old actress Maria Bakalova was entirely creepy. Giuliani follows Maria, who is under the guise of Borat’s daughter, Tutar Sagdiyev, into a hotel room for drinks. Giuliani is then seen asking her for her phone number as he lies down on the bed and puts his hand down his pants. Yeah, that’s creepy.
I’ll just leave this here:
