Trump's lawyer-for-hire Michael Cohen is starting to spill the beans on his former boss, relating a string of racist remarks from the Orangeman himself.
During a 2016 campaign stop, Cohen told Trump that his campaign rally looked vanilla on television. Trump responded, "That's because black people are too stupid to vote for me."
Cohen also referenced a conversation he had with Trump after Nelson Mandela's death. Trump said, "Name one country run by a black person that's not a shithole," and then he added, "Name one city."
In 2004, Trump made comments about not selecting Kwame Jackson, an African-American Harvard business graduate to be the winner of "The Apprentice." Trump said, "There's no way I can let this black fag win."
Cohen also recalled a conversation with Trump en route from the Chicago airport to their hotel, when they drove through what looked like a rough neighborhood. Trump made a comment, saying "Only the blacks could live like this."
After Cohen twice retweeted Florida Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, President Trump called Gillum a 'stone cold thief,' in a remark critics immediately called racist. Trump also labelled Tallahassee (where Gillum is mayor}, one of the nation's "worst run cities."
