The man behind the characters Borat, Brüno, and Ali G is teasing a new project that may be related to Donald Trump.

Infamous satirist Sacha Baron Cohen tweeted out a video on Wednesday, July 4, that appears to tease what may be a new character, a new movie, or perhaps a new series alongside clips of Trump saying that Cohen should get punched in the face and go to school.

At the end of the short video, the words "Sacha graduates soon" appear over an American Flag, and then the clip cuts to a still image of the Trump University logo.

Although Cohen's clip doesn't outright say it, the video implies that either Cohen or a character that Cohen created will go through some sort of education in a new movie or show, perhaps even Trump University.

If he did go through Trump University, that would have been filmed a while ago, though, because the "university" closed in 2010 after getting hit with a handful of lawsuits.

From 2005 until its untimely death in 2010, Trump University offered up courses in things like wealth management, real estate, entrepreneurship, and other things that Trump generally wasn't that great at.

Perhaps Cohen attended Trump University and is only now sharing his experience with the company, or maybe he created his own version of Trump University using the kinds of characters he became famous for.

Cohen became famous in the late '90s with his character Ali G, who would appear on various programs and eventually became the star of Da Ali G Show. He rocketed to more mainstream popularity in 2006 with his character Borat Sagdiyev, who starred in the successful comedy mockumentary Borat.

Cohen's latest film, The Dictator, poked fun at Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2012. He has not released a project since then, but has appeared in other movies and shows.
