Sacha Baron Cohen Made Borat 2 to Show the ‘Dangers’ of Voting for Donald Trump for a Second Term

Sacha Baron Cohen has revealed that he made Borat: Subsequent Movie to warn US voters of the “ dangers ” of voting President Donald Trump for a second term.

Speaking to The Sun about the documentary on Saturday, the 49-year-old actor said he felt democracy was ‘at a very dangerous point’ under Trump’s rule and that he wanted to do something about it before the November election.

He explained: ‘The purpose of the film is to convey a message. That’s why Borat came out when it happened.

“ I thought the thing I can do to warn people is use my funniest character, my most popular character, to show what I thought were the dangers of voting for Trump. I felt that democracy was at a very dangerous point. ‘

‘I suppose with this film I felt that I should be able to see myself in the mirror [the day after election day] and say to myself, “I’ve done everything I can to protect a political system that I value – democracy.” ‘

Late last year, Sacha revived the beloved character for this year’s Borat Subsequent Movie Film, the sequel to 2006’s Borat.

He plays a bumbling Kazakh journalist who travels to America to learn about their culture in the hilarious and sometimes incredible mockumentaries.

And after filming the movie, the outspoken actor admitted that there were a few moments when he feared for his safety.

In an October post on Instagram, Sacha shared a behind-the-scenes video of herself performing at a Trump rally as Borat.

The crowd soon realized he was mocking before turning angrily at him, forcing Sacha to flee the stage, barricade himself into his trailer, and run away.

“This wasn’t the easiest movie to make,” he captioned the terrifying video.

Another clip from the movie quickly went viral as it showed an embarrassing moment involving Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani.

Borat’s “daughter Tutar,” played by Maria Bakalova, interviewed Giuliani for a segment – which he assumed was an actual interview – at a hotel.

During that sequence, he can be seen reclining on a bed, putting his hand in his pants while ‘Tutar’ adjusted his microphone – he says, as he was just mending his shirt.

‘The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I tucked in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment, ‘Giuliani snapped on Twitter.

In a recent Variety interview, Cohen shared that he hoped his movie would persuade people to vote against Trump in the 2020 election.

“I don’t want to selfishly suggest that people look at Borat and not vote for Trump, but that was the goal,” he said.

Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday, with Kamala Harris as his vice president – the first woman to hold office, and the first African American and first Asian American vice president.
