Sacha Baron Cohen News: Borat Throws Shade at Donald Trump, Debuts 'The Brothers Grimsby' Trailer on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

After years of being under the radar, Borat (AKA Sacha Baron Cohen) is making a return - with a lovely surprise!

Sacha Baron Cohen decided to drop by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" earlier this week to debut the new trailer for the upcoming comedy, "The Brothers Grimsby," which was also written by Sacha Baron Cohen.

"The Brothers Grimsby" is a story about "a wrongfully accused" assassin. According to Complex:

"The story follows a wrongfully accused MI6 assassin, played by 'Kingsman: The Secret Service'['s] Mark Strong, who joins forces with his long-lost brother to save the world from a sinister plot. Isla Fisher, Scott Adkins, Rebel Wilson and Penelope Cruz also star in the film alongside Cohen."

During his first few minutes on stage, Borat makes fun of Jimmy Kimmel's name. As it turns out, Kimmel means "ladies vagine" in the Kazakhstan language, while Jimmy means "much hair."

But it seems as though the appearance was more than just a promotion for "The Brothers Grimsby" and to tease Jimmy Kimmel. According to The Verge:

"After easing his way back into Borat's trademark anti-Semitism and homoeroticism, Baron Cohen riffed on Donald Trump's political ascendance."

Borat even goes on to claim that he is not a fan of Cohen, whose characters are "very offensive." He even includes "that Donald Trump is one of Cohen's more 'unbelievable' characters, as reported by People.

Not only that, but he gives even more jabs towards Donald Trump by pretending to be surprised that the Republican presidential candidate is an actual person.

"The only person who would ban Muslims is someone with a brain like a female chicken," Borat said. "It is clearly a parody of a rich American racist!"

"The Brothers Grimsby" hits theatres on March 11, 2016.
