Donald Trump hired a ‘Faux-Bama’ to belittle Barack Obama, says US President’s former aide

According to President Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen, before Trump assumed office, he was preoccupied by the then-President Barack Obama, CNN report. He was so obsessed by his predecessor that he hired a ‘Faux-Bama’ to belittle him.

In his book ‘Disloyal: A Memoir’, Cohen writes that Trump hired a “Faux-Bama” to participate in a video in which Trump “ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him.”

The book although doesn’t name the man hired by Trump or when the incident took place, but it includes a picture of Trump sitting behind a desk, facing a Black man wearing a suit with an American flag pin affixed to the lapel. On Trump’s desk are two books, one displaying Obama’s name in large letters.

Both CNN and the Associated Press obtained an early copy of Cohen’s book.

According to it, Trump ranted after Barack Obama became the first African-American president of the US. “Tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a sh*thole…They are all complete f*cking toilets,” according to Cohen.

‘Disloyal: A Memoir’ is Cohen’s tell-all book in which he makes a case of how Trump landed him in federal prison. It’ll hit the shelves on Tuesday.
