    Philip Bump Retweeted Pervaiz Shallwani

    This was for a video that was supposed to air during the 2012 Republican convention. It's not new. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/11/06/2012-was-closer-to-being-the-year-of-trump-than-you-might-remember/ …https://twitter.com/Pervaizistan/status/1302427987929899008 …

    Pervaiz ShallwaniVerified account @Pervaizistan
    NEW: In upcoming book, Michael Cohen writes Donald Trump's disdain for Obama was so extreme he hired a "Faux-Bama" to participate in a video in which he "ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him." He includes this photo: http://www.cnn.com/2020/09/05/politics/michael-cohen-book-trump-white-house/index.html … pic.twitter.com/otwYW8VSmQ

        Here's the video. This was a subplot in 2012 that was pretty well known, but since Trump was just Trump-the-TV-guy at the time, it's understandable that people missed it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urFPm857tJA …

        I haven't read Cohen's book, but either he or the person who tweeted the summary above clearly misrepresents a scenario in which Trump was trying to get attention by applying his "Apprentice" shtick to Obama.

        For those skeptical that it was widely covered, the video apparently aired on the Today show, per this contemporaneous article.https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/the-donalds-video-should-have-trumped-eastwood/2012/09/18/28c315c6-01df-11e2-9367-4e1bafb958db_blog.html …

        No, journalists won’t discuss things not new.

        Perhaps if it was widely reported at the time? It wasn't.

        I’m guessing there was a pretty pretty good reason it wasn’t aired ...pic.twitter.com/pRJApJ0Uil
