The movie Rudy is in also lists Mike Pence in the cast and reveals this info.......
While many Republican and conservative figures like Rudy Giuliani and Vice President Mike Pence will be targets of Borat's pranks for this film, it is unclear if the same can be said for Democrats and liberals. However, one unnamed politician was cited as committing career-damaging actions during production of this film.

Currently Pence is the only politician list in the cast column.

in Trump political circles, Rudy can be considered a politician. Could be that he is the one referred to as committing career ending behavior in the film. However, I doubt that his behavior in the film would end his career with Trump since Trump is more likely to pat him on the back for it.

For instance, look at this one -- Giuliani was actually stupid enough to think that a girl a third his age had the hots for him.

in office 4 more years. That way he's only paying taxes in China AND filling his Chinese bank account at the same time.
Favorite pass times of tRump are to lie, bully, invoke violence, take babies from their parents with no plan to reunite them, take health insurance from millions of families, remain aloof as nearly a quarter million of us die from Covid19, millions more out of work and food banks stretched to their limits. All that while destroying the environment and building a wall that doesn't make sense. Oh, and not pay taxes. It's a psychopath's dream job. He's got the GOP to thank for all of it, especially Mitch McConnell.

20. This is why I think Trump stormed out of the 60 Minutes interview
Wed Oct 21, 2020, 03:45 PM
Oct 2020

Last Sunday "60 Minutes" aired Lesley Stahl's interview with Alexey Navalny, the leader of the opposition political Progress Party in Russia, who is recuperating from being poisoned on a flight to Moscow.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexey-navalny-poisoning-putin-russia-60-minutes-2020-10-18/

"But Angela Merkle of Germany and Emmanuel Macron of France have persuaded the European Union to impose sanctions over this.

Lesley Stahl: Well, all these leaders have signed on, except Donald Trump. And--

Alexey Navalny: Yes, I-- I have noticed it. (LAUGH)

Lesley Stahl: Is it important to you that he condemn this action?

Alexey Navalny: So, I think it's extremely important that everyone, of course, including and maybe in the first of all, president of United States, to be very against using chemical weapons in the 21st Century."

quoting some insider as saying there'd be breaking news THIS week (for some reason I'm remembering a prediction of Thursday) where the key point was something along the lines of "the only question anyone will ask will be 'what taxes?' "

Of course it's one of only a few times when I didn't make a note about it, dammit.
