Michael Cohen's opening statement., page-25

Mr. Trump is a racist.

The country has seen Mr. Trump court whitesupremacists and bigots. You have heard him call poorer countries“shitholes.”

In private, he is even worse.

He once asked me if I could name a country run by a black person thatwasn’t a “shithole.” This was when Barack Obama was President of theUnited States.

While we were once driving through a struggling neighborhood in Chicago,he commented that only black people could live that way.

And, he told me that black people would never vote for him because theywere too stupid.

And yet I continued to work for him.
