One of the great things about the Donald Trump presidency is that since he has craved media attention for the last four decades, there is a treasure trove of goofy Trump clips all over the internet that are just waiting to be discovered.
Like this clip of Sacha Baron Cohen pitching Trump business ideas on the Da Ali G Show.
Cohen is perhaps most famous for inventing the character Borat – but Borat was originally a character on the Ali G show. Sort of like how Stephen Colbert was originally a character on the Daily Show back in the John Stewart days.
Anyway, Ali G – the character – was an over-the-top stereotypical Beestie Boy/Flavor Flav-style character, and the self-proclaimed “voice of da yoof.” Like Borat, the basis of the show was for Cohen to find unsuspecting people – many of whom were celebrities – so he could interview them while in character, and progressively ask the person more ridiculous and absurd questions.
In Trump’s case, Ali G was pitching Wall Street fat cats and business big wigs on his brilliant product idea – ice cream gloves.
Donald Trump didn’t really agree with him though – and their meeting was over before it started.
Then again, Donald Trump probably has a pretty good sense of picking up on con artists.
