[steve2470]

In upcoming book, Michael Cohen writes Donald Trump's disdain for Obama was so extreme he hired a "Faux-Bama" to participate in a video in which he "ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him." He includes this photo:

Can we say 1- racist and 2- a truly sick mind ?

Before Donald Trump ever sought the Oval Office, he was preoccupied by its occupant President Barack Obama, publicly questioning his birthplace and privately describing him as "a Manchurian candidate" who obtained his Ivy League degrees only by way of affirmative action, according to a new book by Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen.

CNN obtained a copy of the book ahead of its Tuesday publication.

Trump's disdain for Obama was so extreme that he took his fixation a step further, according to Cohen: Trump hired a "Faux-Bama" to participate in a video in which Trump "ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him."

Cohen's book, "Disloyal: A Memoir," doesn't name the man who was allegedly hired to play Obama or provide a specific date for the incident, but it does include a photograph 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.

1. Sick!

😳

[TheBlackAdder]

34. He's a sick fuck, and he operates out of a two-bit janitor's closet of an office w/cheap furniture.

.

He's so mentally weak, he couldn't mess the with the real Obama, so he tricked his mind with an impersonator.

.

[dem4decades]

2. I want criminal stuff or for him to prove Trump called US servicemen Losers and suckers.

That's what it will take to make me happy. Just showing Trump's a piece of shit has already been done.

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. This

[steve2470]

15. I'd prefer that also

We already know he's racist pond scum.

[dalton99a]

3. Sick fuck.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. The Pig gets off on this ratf**kery.

If Trump wasn't rich, where he has an endless supply of people to insult, stiff, cheat, and rat f**k, he would be serial killer.

[dalton99a]

6. He is a mass murderer right now.

[Zoonart]

13. If trump were not rich

He would either be in prison or dead.

[2naSalit]

23. +1

Possibly at the bottom of the East River.

[consider_this]

5. If true...

that is some truly twisted shit. WTH?!

[Newest Reality]

7. I get the feeling...

I get the feeling that there is so much crazy stuff about him that has gone on behind the scenes that it will truly be shocking and disturbing as it unravels.

This may be one of the driving motivators for having a ring of sycophants around him now. It may not just be about having yes men and handlers, but the depth of his depravity and disturbed idiosyncrasies might require observers that are less likely to reveal them publicly.

However, that has not been working too well lately, huh?

That's just my overall take. Of course, we are the only ones who would be concerned and troubled as opposed to his tragically challenged base of total believers who fawn over his words with great fealty and adoration.

[pnwest]

8. I can't even wrap my mind around this.

I’m just dumbstruck......

It sure would be better if Cohen had a copy of the tape, rather than a photo.

[Tanuki]

9. "Lordy, I hope there are tapes."

What a sick, damaged person. Really, there is no bottom to the pit.

[consider_this]

10. fragrance bottle?

just curious, what is that that looks like a packaged fragrance prominently on the desk?

[MousePlayingDaffodil]

20. Packaged fragrance . . .

. . . is what it is. Punch "Success Cologne by Donald Trump" into Google Images.

Mind, that was just an assumption on my part, but knowing that Trump has branded all sorts of crap like that, it wasn't hard to guess.

[consider_this]

27. Ahhh, the stench of it!

good sleuthing, thanks for posting.
I figured it was either something with his name on it like everything else in that pic, or something racist sounding.

[jrthin]

11. OMFG! He's a sick fu*k!

[sprinkleeninow]

14. Jealousy...

[JanMichael]

16. WTF? That's psychotic. Nt

17. It was a plan for the 2012 Republican Convention...

Trump gets 'surprise' convention role

When the Republican National Convention kicks off next Monday, Donald Trump will have a “surprise” role on its first day, people familiar with the matter said Sunday evening.

Convention organizers won’t say what he’ll be doing in Tampa or whether he’ll address the delegates there. But they promise the controversial billionaire and prominent anti-President Barack Obama provocateur will be part of their opening day schedule.

The move will undoubtedly generate headlines given the real estate mogul’s star power and his flair for the unconventional.

Romney ended up pulling the plug on the video, which pissed Trump off no end.

[ARPad95]

18. That newspaper headline "Tourism Jump is Thanks To Trump" is from 2012

Like they say, there's always a tweet!

Hmmm, only 7 likes & 74 people commented. Can't get much more insignificant than that in Twitter-world.

[Claustrum]

19. While this is sick to no end, his base probably loves it and it's up to their level of funny stuff

They would laugh and cheer it on and say it's the most funny stuff they saw. They are as childish and sick as he is.

[Me.]

21. Beyond True

Andrea Mitchell, Cilizza, Marcus used to slice and dice her nearly every day...Marcus even wrote a piece that started "Egads, I can't believe I am agreeing with Trump" and making HRC responsible for Bill and of course..."her emails"

"But in a way perhaps even Trump could appreciate, Cohen reserves some of his harshest judgment for the media, which he blames for falling for Trump's attention-grabbing tactics and propelling him to office.
"Donald Trump's presidency is a product of the free press," he writes. "Not free as in freedom of expression, I mean free as unpaid for. Rallies broadcast live, tweets, press conferences, idiotic interviews, 24-7 wall-to-wall coverage, all without spending a penny. The free press gave America Trump."
"Right, left, moderate, tabloid, broadsheet, television, radio, Internet, Facebook -- that is who elected Trump and might well elect him again."

[Lock him up.]

38. That contradicts what he claims he did (and regrets now).

That it was him who convinced the maggot to run for POTUS.

(Without Cohen convincing his mob bo$$ to run, the media could not have elected "it"...)

[Me.]

41. He Probably Did Urge Him

THey were doing it for the money, the big grab and... so Trump could get closer to Putin who they thought was the world's richest man (as per Cohen). THey really didn't think he was going to win.

[mn9driver]

22. Link to an article about the video at the time it was made:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2205155/Donald-Trump-mocks-fires-fake-Obama-Apprentice-style-video-NOT-shown-Republican-convention.html

It references being able to watch the video, but I couldn’t find the video itself.

25. Can't He Just Put A Picture On A Dart Board Like A Normal Person? nt

[Beartracks]

26. Is that the same desk where the American Eagle attacked Trump?

[Salviati]

28. I shudder to think of what it must be like inside his head.

Howling insecurity and endless streams of petty grievances.

But the funny thing is that no matter how insecure he is, it's not nearly enough.

[DesertRat]

29. k&r

[Blue Owl]

30. This fuck is too mentally unwell to within 500 feet of the Oval Office

Sure let him do his sick fuck thing on TV but not on our taxpayer dime, and to our country...

[bringthePaine]

31. I believe the medical term is 'terminally fucked in the head"; only prison can help...

[Midnight Writer]

32. He's been hiring faux Ivankas for decades.

[Nevilledog]

37. Burn.

40. Yes, everyone else calls them his 'wives.'

33. fantasy land trump--has the mentality of a young child playing pretend.

OMG
take him out of the white house in a straight jacket

[orleans]

35. ... screen grab tweet to trump

[ecstatic]

36. Was this before or after trump got skewered at that infamous White House correspondents'

dinner?

Answered my own question. It was after!

trump is such a whiny l̶i̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ fat #$1_#!

[Lock him up.]

39. Well, drumpf started his birther BS before.

I wonder if there are lines of that (how it started inside the mob's private suite...) in the book...

[yardwork]

42. That's a sign of how AFRAID Trump is - he's a frightened little child.
