In 2014, Bill Cosby, once considered a US national treasure, was at the start of a rapid and dramatic fall from grace as more and more accusations of sexual assault came to light.

One man who thought the situation was “sad” and was quick to share his thoughts on how Cosby should handle the situation was the now Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

In a 2014 interview from the red carpet for an event he was attending with his wife Melania, the billionaire offered Mr Cosby some PR advice, encouraging him to defend himself against the multiple sexual assault allegations instead of remaining silent.

“I think it’s very sad and frankly I don’t think he’s handling it well,” the 70-year-old told E! News. “He should say something because he’s being accused of terrible things and to have absolutely no comment, I think he’s getting very bad advice from a PR standpoint and he should do it differently. He’s not doing a very good job of handling it.”
