Trump Hates Obama So Much He Hired a Stand-In He Could Fire, Michael Cohen Says (Photo)

Trump Hates Obama So Much He Hired a Stand-In He Could Fire, Michael Cohen Says (Photo)

Weird anecdote comes from ex-Trump fixer’s new book, “Disloyal: A Memoir”

Donald Trump dislikes Barack Obama so much that he once filmed a video in which he berated and then “fired” an actor hired to impersonate the 44th president, according to ex-fixer Michael Cohen.

Cohen said that Trump “ritualistically belittled” the actor, described as “Faux-Bama,” and then fired him. Cohen doesn’t say when the event took place or who the actor was, but he did include a photo, which has been published by CNN. See it below:

According to both CNN and the Washington Post, Cohen also describes numerous instances in which Trump expressed openly racist sentiments about Obama and other Black leaders. In one notable incident that Cohen said happened after the 2008 election, Trump angrily said “tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a s—hole … They are all complete f—ing toilets.” According to Cohen, Trump specifically cited South Africa, saying — again according to Cohen — “Mandela f—ed the whole country up. Now it’s a s—hole. F— Mandela. He was no leader.”

Cohen also said Trump dismissed Obama’s Ivy League pedigree as solely due to “f—ing affirmative action,” and said Trump has a “low opinion of all black folks.”

Not even Dr Evil would think of that.

consumed with jealousy. The person that had someone take his SAT cannot speak about how someone got into school. But again, this is all about his envy and jealousy.
