President Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen says he hired a “Fauxbama” so he could humiliate him in an unaired video for the 2012 Republican National Convention.

Cohen revealed in his new tell-all book “Disloyal: A Memoir” that Trump’s obsession with former President Barack Obama went too far after he hired a lookalike actor so he could ‘ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him’. The passage provided an accompanying photo where Trump is sitting behind a desk in front of a black male with grey hair and an American flag pin on his suit with a book titled “Obama.”
The actor was not identified by Cohen and there were no further details as to when or why the video was filmed as reported by The Daily Mail. The clip was first obtained in 2013 by Breitbart but was quickly taken down after Republican leaders caught wind out of the news.

Trump said in an interview with the media outlet that RNC leaders thought the video was too controversial at the time of its release.
‘The reason they didn’t put it on is because they thought it was too controversial. Controversy. It might not be politically correct.’
Cohen’s book is expected to be released on Tuesday and it will further explain the many attacks Trump used against Obama.
