Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, has described his ex-boss’ obsessive hatred of President Barack Obama in his upcoming memoir.
In an extract of Cohen’s “Disloyalty: A Memoir,” Cohen claims that Trump described Obama as a “Manchurian candidate” who owed his place at Columbia University and Harvard Law School to “fucking affirmative action.”
According to Cohen, Trump, in pursuing his grudge against Obama, hired a lookalike “Fauxbama” and “ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him” in a bizarre video.
In the book, Cohen does not name the man hired to play Obama or say on what date the incident took place, but does include a picture from the video.
It shows Trump sitting across his Trump Tower desk from a man resembling Obama.
On the desk in front of Trump are two books, one with Obama’s name on the front.

But a copy of the video has emerged online
A parody of Trump’s hit reality show The Apprentice, it was supposed to be aired at the 2012 RNC convention, according to reports, but was canned by party bosses.

In the video, Trump attacks the Obama lookalike’s record as president, his lack of business experience, and his golf game.
It ends with Trump hurling his “you’re fired” Apprentice catchphrase at Obama and banishing him from his office.
“They never put it on,” Trump told Breitbart of the RNC decision not to air the video at the time. “The reason they didn’t put it on is because they thought it was too controversial. Controversy. It might not be politically correct.”
Obama won reelection in 2012 defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Cohen, in extracts of the book published by the Post, details several racist diatribes by Trump. Cohen claims that when ranting about Obama in one incident, he went on to say, “tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a shithole. They are all complete fucking toilets.”
According to the extracts, Trump belittled minority voters, saying, “I will never get the Hispanic vote. Like the blacks, they’re too stupid to vote for Trump.”
He also, writes Cohen, insulted South African leader Nelson Mandela, and praised the racist Apartheid regime.
As president, Trump has spent more time playing golf in three and a half years as Obama did in eight.
