Former attorney for President Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, described alleged incidents of racism in a new book, including his thoughts on South Africa and former president and icon of the struggle Nelson Mandela.
Cohen’s revealing memoir, as reported in the Washington Post, alleges that Trump made numerous racist comments directed at his predecessor, Barack Obama, saying that he only entered Columbia University and Harvard Law School for “affirmative action.” .
Trump, according to Cohen, had “hatred and contempt” for Obama, while alleging that the president of the United States also has a “low opinion of all blacks.”
The president of the United States, according to the article, said in a spiel about Obama: “Tell me a country ruled by a black person that is not so… a hole. They are all complete toilets. “
And after the death of former President Nelson Mandela in 2013, Trump allegedly said that he did not believe that Mandela “was a real leader, not the kind that he respected.”
Cohen alleged that Trump praised the South African government in the apartheid era and said: “Mandela screwed up the whole country. Now it is like a hole. F— Mandela. He was not a leader. “
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement Saturday: “Michael Cohen is a disgraced criminal and disbarred lawyer, who lied to Congress. He has lost all credibility and it is not surprising to see his latest attempt to profit from the lies. “
As early as 2013, Trump, using his preferred medium, Twitter, called South Africa a “crime-ridden disaster ready to explode.” He then followed up with more derogatory comments in 2015.
I really like Nelson Mandela, but South Africa is a crime-ridden disaster waiting to explode, not a good situation for people!

As I have been saying for a long time, South Africa is a complete and very dangerous disaster. Just watch the evening news (when you’re not talking about the weather).

The American leader also surprised in 2018 after tweeted that the South African government was “taking land from white farmers.”
He later asked his secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, to study the seizure and expropriation of land in South Africa, along with the murder of farmers.
