Normally if I saw an emerging feud between Donald Trump and Samuel L. Jackson was trending I would be really confused as to what the “The Apprentice” mogul and the actor sometimes known as “that one black guy in every movie” have to do with one another.

But sadly, we must remind ourselves that it is 2016 and Trump is no longer just a bossy billionaire who reserves conflict for his reality show contestants. He’s moved on to become a very serious Republican contender vying to be the next president of the United States–and he’s starting feuds with everybody.

So what’s going on this time?

Well it all started after SLJ shared in a recent interview with Rhapsody Magazine that he once received a bill from Trump’s National Golf Club, despite not even being a member. He then went on to say that he’s golfed with Trump before, and sees Trump as more “P.T. Barnum than politician.”

Trump must not have liked the comparison, since he called SLJ boring and denied even knowing him in the following tweet:

“Late Night’s” Seth Meyers then proceeded to stoke the feud’s flames Tuesday when SLJ appeared on his show. Meyers probed further into the actor’s relationship with Trump, and SLJ obliged, joking about how Trump refers to himself in the third person as “the Don” and even cheats at golf. He also told a story about the time Trump tried to convince him to play a round with him and former president Bill Clinton.

Watch SLJ joke about Trump on Late Night below

“Blackish” star Anthony Anderson even corroborated SLJ’s story:

So it’s pretty clear that once again Trump is lying and using name calling as immature polling tactic. I’m just glad someone is finally standing up to Trump, and doing it in style for that matter. Who knows, Trump may have finally met his match, so keep it up Samuel L. Jackson!
