Sacha Baron Cohen Responds To Donald Trump Calling Him “A Creep”

Sacha Baron Cohen responded to criticism from President Donald Trump, saying that “the whole world laughs at you.” Trump previously called Cohen a “creep” when asked for his take on the new Borat film.

“Donald—I appreciate the free publicity for Borat!” Cohen wrote on Twitter in response. “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!”

Trump was first asked about Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, and the scene featuring former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani, Friday evening: “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.

“To me, he’s a creep,” he added.

In the climactic scene of the film (spoiler warning), Giuliani places hands down his pants while laying on a bed in front of a character posing as a young female reporter. “The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment,” Giuliani said on Twitter in his defense.
