President Trump once told his former personal attorney Michael Cohen that he thinks black people are “too stupid” to vote for him, Vanity Fair reports. Cohen told the magazine that shortly after Trump was elected, he pointed out to his then-boss that the crowd at a recent rally was mostly white. “Trump responded, ‘That’s because black people are too stupid to vote for me,’” Cohen said. Cohen also claimed that after Nelson Mandela’s death, Trump asked him to “Name one country run by a black person that’s not a shithole.” During another conversation, Cohen said Trump remarked that “only the blacks could live like this” as they drove through a “rougher” Chicago neighborhood in the early 2000s. In addition, Cohen claimed Trump said he denied investment manager Kwame Jackson the win on The Apprentice’s first season because there was no way he could “let this black fag win.” The White House did not respond to the magazine’s requests for comment.
