Michael Cohen Says Donald Trump's Hatred For Barack Obama Is 'Purely Racial'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump’s contempt for former President Barack Obama ― shown in a long history of scorn from the racist birther conspiracy theory to the false allegations of campaign spying ― is “purely racial,” according to Trump’s former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen.

Cohen, speaking on Monday’s broadcast of “The View” on ABC, said Trump was never able “to really fully grasp how the country ended up voting for the very first Black president.”

“Why he despises him to the extent that he does, I believe it’s purely racial,” Cohen said, adding: “I believe it’s solely predicated on the fact that Barack Obama is Black.” Cohen also pointed to Trump’s own insecurities about his education and the fact that Obama was Harvard-educated. (Trump reportedly cheated his way into Penn and refuses to release his academic records.)

Cohen revealed in his new book “Disloyal: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump,” that Trump, before becoming president, hired an Obama impersonator to belittle and then fire him on camera.

Trump also said Hispanics “like the Blacks ... are too stupid to vote for Trump” and suggested South Africa should have remained under white rule because Nelson Mandela had “ruined” the country.

2. About education

The thing is, we really don't need to actually see OrangeLoser's academic records to know that he's not even close to as intelligent as President Obama is.

OrangeLoser is smart enough to know that he's really not that smart.

4. Considering his father was a KKK member I am not surprised

Donnie Boy was raised by a family that not only hated Blacks, but actively implemented racist policies in their properties.
Add to that DT's resentment of people who do not fawn all over him, his own deep insecurities about his looks, and a biracial president who could talk circles around him and was not corrupt.
Boom.

6. Occam's razor

The simplest explanation is usually true. It's incredibly difficult to dislike Obama. Republicans made him out to be the bogeyman, but that's what they always do to a Democratic President.

There's no good reason for Trump to harbor that much animosity for Obama. In fact, I don't think they ever even met before that day in the Oval Office after the election. Racism is the simplest answer here and is almost certainly correct.

7. Nothing surprising there

and the same goes for a majority of Trump's supporters too.

8. Ya think, no news here

widely known, he felt emasculated by a smarter man who happened to be a man who is a POC. President Obama looms huge in this man's hate for a black man smarter than he. One of his sociopathic quirks? No question. The man has been an outright racist as far back as 1970 in his realtor empire. Definitely anti-black. 'Central Park 5' opinion(s) about African-Americans despicably low even for a snowflake snake... da da da da...This is a lightweight dish, Cohen just trying to sell books. He's revealed, legally, nothing. And he's a lawyer of note here, no less.

Yahoo to me has a definite political slant, easily discerned, right of the centre conservative source. I wish someone could find that one revelation about him that finally topples him, necessitates his own historical significance to topple into the basement of antiquity. A divider clown prince pretending to be adult. At his loss, The complete history of this man is purged from the public record officially and consigned to the sub, sub-basement of historical records. Even on digital. This has been a monumental mistake/flaw in our electoral, allegedly democratic, voting system of governance. Really remaining one person/one vote popular vote. All data from official digital popular vote voting places and put into some kind of political databases on both sides, left and right.

Remaining on the path Americans demanding of, all-inclusivity, making that the new 'norm', not people making pretensions toward being royal. Gutter snipes all.

9. I feel quite sure that race is the main reason MOST people did not...

...like President Obama. They will never admit it, of course, and offer all manner of other explanations, but that is at the heart of it.
