Michael Cohen: Trump hates Obama because he's everything he 'wants to be'
By Zack Budryk - 09/09/20 02:52 PM EDT

Michel Cohen, President Trump’s former personal attorney, said Tuesday that the president was fixated on his predecessor Barack Obama and attributed it to envy.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow cited a passage in Cohen’s book, “Disloyal,” in which Cohen suggests Trump did not necessarily believe false claims that Obama was born outside the U.S. Rather, the book states, Trump was seeking to capitalize on issues that “would arouse strong feelings for those who took his side.”

“His hatred for Barack Obama is plain and simple: he’s Black, he went to Harvard Law, he graduated at the top of his class, he’s incredibly articulate, he’s all the things that Donald Trump wants to be,” Cohen said. “And he just can’t handle it. So what do you do if you’re Donald Trump and you can’t handle it? You attack it.”

I'm having a difficult time believing Cohen himself believes The Donald wanted to be a bi-racial, bi-sexual, bi-religious, pauper Marxist.

The political career of Obama began with hypocrisy, proceed with arrogance, and finished with contempt.
Why would anyone want to be "That Guy"

Right .... like Trump is seriously envious of Obama being married to Michael -- I'd say it's more Bammy being envious of Trump married to Melania.
