Trump called Black Americans stupid and claimed US was a sh*thole because it was run by Obama: Cohen

President Donald Trumps racism is far worse than the public is aware, according to his former fixer Michael Cohen.
In a written testimony submitted to the House, Cohen said that in private, Trump is far worse.
He once asked me if I could name a country run by a black person that wasnt a sh*thole,' Cohen recalled. This was when Barack Obama was President of the United States.
He also noted that while the two were driving through a struggling neighborhood in Chicago, Trump said, only black people could live that way.

He's got documents to back up a bunch of his claims like a personal check where Trump paid him back for the Stormy Daniels hush payment.

Then we can all relax and get on with our lives.
Hopefully, soon.

I think it was partly because you could not run a presidential campaign and pay graft. And you could not feed or house or help people on the ground there without some footsoldier in your organization giving in and paying graft to get some emergency stopped. Which was a political scandal waiting to happen. But I did not want to be explicit because it was an election year.

(1,159 posts)Our "history" courses tend to start at the despots or evil dictators of "developing" countries and teach forward, i.e. look how horrible Haiti and the Congo are (i.e. they're incapable of governing themselves), presenting such "history" in a vacuum as though the West had nothing to do with putting the Idi Amins of the world in power.

I pray for the souls of the minorities and immigrants who continue to vote for Trump and bolster the boot against their own throats.
Sadly, I don't believe that any of this will wrestle free spell-bound minds and foregone moralities.
To survive Trump means being broken in one form or another.

(11,635 posts)His supporters are largely racist and most of them that I've encountered love him BECAUSE he's a racist, not in spite of it. No-one in the world will be shocked by these revelations about the asshole so I just don't see how this moves the needle much on Trump. Hope I am wrong.

(1,220 posts)I hope you're wrong too but we've all seen more than enough evidence now. We've all seen the true ugly face of the racist gop magat traitors and there is no way anyone can ever forget that face.
I believe trump is a symptom of white racist fear of the irrefutable demographic changes coming wherein their white majority that has abused minorities for centuries will now become the minority.
They'll do anything to forestall that immutable futurecast. They're so afraid of the future they even did trump.
