Even if everyone else abandons him or goes to jail, Ali G will always be by Trump's side.

On Thursday, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen shared an old -- and particularly painful -- video of his most famous character, Ali G, interviewing Donald Trump. In a follow-up note, Ali G expressed affection for President Trump during this difficult time.

Watch in horror as Trump claims that humans existed hundreds of millions of years ago, an idea that's been disproven by pretty much everyone in existence. Remember: this video was filmed before Trump ran for president, when he was notably more coherent.

Ali G made his feelings for Trump clear in the subsequent note he posted:

"Yesterday it was proven in de courts dat u iz a crook -- respeck!" Ali G writes. "U iz a genuine gangsta!"

U iz a genuine gangsta, Donald Trump, and if Mueller has his way -- you just might be going to jail.
