Cohen teases Trump project

-

Sacha Baron Cohen has teased a mysterious Trump University­themed project on social media. The British actor and comedian, known for characters such as Ali G and Borat Sagdiyev, took to Twitter on Wednesday to share a cryptic video that takes aim at U.S. President Donald Trump and his now-defunct education company, which ran a real-estate training program from 2005 until 2010. Titled A Message from Donald J. Trump, the video begins with footage of Trump talking about Cohen. “This third-grade character named Sacha Baron Cohen, I only wish that he would’ve been punched in the face so many times. Right now, he’d be in a hospital,” Trump states to the camera as an image of Cohen’s face is superimpos­ed on the screen. The words “He’s back as you’ve never seen him before” then flash onto the screen, with Trump heard in the background commenting, “Sacha Baron Cohen, go to school! Learn about being funny. You don’t know s---.” The words “Sacha graduates soon” then appear along with the Trump University logo.
