Trump SLAMS Sacha Baron Cohen for Tricking Rudy Giuliani, and Cohen Responds With … a Job Offer

By

We are always adding some new rules to things you should not do if running for president; have sex with a porn star, hide accounts with millions of dollars, always talking to Russians on the phone – not knowing the FBI monitors Russians, that sort of thing and many others to apply to everyone, not just Trump. Like, the sex with porn star thing applies to all of them, even Elizabeth Warren, if she runs again – it’s just a good rule of thumb.

Another that applies to everyone is to never, ever, get into any kind of showdown or fight with Sacha Baron Cohen. There is no way to win that fight and you will end up losing, while also looking ten times worse than you did prior to entering the decision.

According to the L.A. Times:

After Trump called the English comedian an unfunny “phony” and “a creep” in response to his buzzy new mockumentary, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” Baron Cohen had a message for the president on Twitter.

Wait.

Is it Baron Cohen’s fault that Rudy was interested in a girl that looked like she was maybe 20? What if that is Rudy’s fault, at least partly?  Shouldn’t some anger be reserved for Rudy looking like a jackass? Or does Donald have to keep his mouth shut lest Rudy discuss Trump doing damn near the same thing?

“Donald—I appreciate the free publicity for Borat!” the actor and producer tweeted Saturday. “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 [Inauguration Day on] Jan. 20. Let’s talk!”

And that is why you do not get in a fight with Sacha Baron Cohen. Indeed, you compliment his work as brilliant and that it’s an honor to even be part of the movie. Even if he made you look like the world’s absolute biggest jackass, you compliment it, say it was hilarious and can’t stop watching it. It is the only way to take the sting out of the fight and “win” – at least as much as possible.

Peace, y’LL
