America’s president, Donald Trump once said “black people are too stupid to vote for me”, his ex lawyer Michael Cohen claims.
Cohen also told Vanity Fair that Trump said every country with a black leader is a s***hole and called an Apprentice star a “black f**”.
He said the “stupid” comment came after a 2016 rally, when Cohen remarked how white the crowd were.
Recalling an incident in Chicago in the early 2000s, the lawyer says Trump commented on a rough neighbourhood saying “only the blacks could live like this.”
And while discussing why he didn’t name Kwame Jackson winner of the Apprentice Cohen added: “He said, ‘There’s no way I can let this black f** win.’”
After Nelson Mandela’s death, he claims Trump commented: “Name one country run by a black person that’s not a s***hole. Name one city.”
Cohen says he regrets not quitting after the racist comments, telling the mag: “I should have been a bigger person, and I should have left.”
He had even defended Trump publicly against racism charges.
In an August 2017 tweet, he wrote, “As the son of a holocaust survivor, I have no tolerance for #racism. Just because I support @POTUS @realDonaldTrump doesn’t make me a racist.”
“I truly thought the office would change him,” he said.

n August, Cohen pleaded guilty to charges including campaign finance fraud stemming from hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels and ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal.
Both women claimed Trump had affairs with them, which he denies.
The other charges involve bank fraud and income tax evasion.
