US President Donald Trump hired an actor to impersonate Barack Obama, such was his fixation with the president says his former fixer, Michael Cohen. The former attorney for the president says in his new book that President Trump hired the Faux-Bama to take part in a video in which he ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him. Point to be noted that A Memoir is due to be published on Tuesday, but doesn’t mention a specific date or the name of the man who was allegedly hired as a lookalike of President Obama. CNN also presented a photograph and showed the man sitting across the desk from Trump in his office, wearing a suit with an American flag pin.

The video has since been obtained by Breitbart and is formatted as a parody of The Apprentice, supposedly to be shown at the Republican National Convention in 2016. Trump has long had an obsession with the man who he would succeed in the White House. Trump questioned the veracity of his birth certificate throughout the Obama presidency. Cohen said in the new book that President Trump also described President Obama in private as a “Manchurian candidate”. He also claimed that his Ivy League degrees were only obtained through affirmative action. It is noteworthy that Cohen described the president as a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man.

Cohen also said that he is uniquely positioned to reveal details of Trump’s life. He pleaded guilty in 2018 to nine federal crimes including tax evasion, campaign finance violations to help Trump win the 2016 election, and lying to the US Congress. Cohen also claimed that Donald Trump ogled his teenage daughter in his explosive new memoir. The former attorney was one of the president’s closest confidants and fixer for years. Cohen describes an uncomfortable incident in the book when President Trump allegedly leered at Cohen’s 15-year-old daughter. The incident happened in 2012 at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster (President’s New Jersey golf resort). It is important that the White House has dismissed Cohen’s book as Fan Fiction.
