Sacha Baron Cohen responded on social media Saturday to Donald Trump's assessment that the actor is creepy, phony and not funny.
“Donald — I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either,” wrote Cohen on Twitter. “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!”
This came after Trump was asked by reporters on Friday night whether he had seen Rudy Giuliani's appearance in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, in a scene where he is shown in a compromising position with actor Maria Bakalova's character Tutar, and if he was worried about security breaches.
