Trump: Sacha Baron Cohen should be
punched in the face

DONALD Trump has slammed Sacha Baron Cohen’s Oscars stunt in a bitter rant —
and said he should have been “punched in the face” for throwing the “ashes”
of Kim Jong-il over a presenter.

The tycoon’s rant came after Cohen shocked other stars on the red carpet when
he turned up as his latest role The Dictator and dumped the
powder over Ryan Seacrest
.

Incensed Trump said security at Sunday night’s event should have put the Brit
comic “in hospital.”

Despite E! host Ryan seeming to take the gag well, billionaire businessman
Trump claims he was “visibly upset”.

He raved: “This third-rate character named Sacha Baron Cohen thought he was
being cute and funny when he threw ashes at Ryan Seacrest.

“Now I know Ryan Seacrest and he’s a great guy, and you could see that he was
visibly upset. It’s disgraceful.

“And the security guard that was standing to the right — he
ought to be fired immediately.”

He added: “Believe me, if that ever happened to somebody with real security,
Sacha Baron Cohen would not be in a good shape right now. He’d be in a
hospital.

“He would have been punched in the face so many times, he wouldn’t know what
happened. I only wish that Ryan took a swing at him.”

The Apprentice entrepreneur made his attack in a video entitled “From The desk
Of Donald Trump: Oscar’s Biggest Losers.”

He also savaged the famous Vanity Fair after party, which he called, “the
absolute worst party of the evening”.

He said: “It was boring, people were sleeping, Nobody enjoyed it.”
