A video appearing to show US President Donald Trump belittling an actor playing his predecessor Barack Obama is getting renewed attention online
Before becoming president, Donald Trump allegedly hired a Barack Obama impersonator to participate in a video, according to a new book by Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen.
Trump hired a "Faux-Bama" to be in a video in which Trump "ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him", CNN quoted Cohen as relating in the book, set to be released on Tuesday. In 2013, right-wing outlet Breitbart published a video fitting Cohen's description. It was purportedly intended to air during the August 2012 Republican National Convention nominating Mitt Romney for president, but was eventually cancelled., the Obama impersonator enters Trump Tower, where the current President grills him on his handling of the economy and other issues. The clip concludes with Trump saying his trademark line, "You're fired.

Republicans flock to Boat for Trump Parade: Annelise Nielsen in Oshkosh, Wisconsin | Sky News AustraliaAcross the US Labor Day events were being cancelled left, right and centre. Every search for a bit of colour and fun was turning up empty handed. \n\nExcept the “Boat for Trump” Parades.\n\nThe parades are a relatively new phenomenon. A few places claim to have started the idea, but they really took off in Florida. This year, no pandemic was going to slow these supporters down. \n\nSo we decided to go check one out. Our unscientific search for a boat parade lead us to a sizeable looking one in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In the north east of the state, this is a major centre for the industrial workers and manufacturers who flipped from Democrat to Trump in 2016. \n\nThe fact Donald Trump held a rally here at the beginning of the Democratic Convention, which had all but abandoned its technical base of Milwaukee, is the surest sign this town matters.\n\nDriving in, we’d had zero luck getting anyone to respond to our phone calls, texts, emails or Facebook messages. So we bought a carton of beer and hoped for the best. \n\nAbout 2 minutes in we found a woman out walking and explained we wanted to join the parade. Moments later she was in our back seat directing us to her friends house. The friend immediately gave us coffee and started ringing around. 20 minutes later we were boarding a pontoon belonging to a couple called Ron and Diane. \n\nThere’s a special kind of mid-west hospitality you don’t see anywhere else. \n\nSpending the day with a group Trump supporters you’re confronted with the reality that many Australians find uncomfortable, or simply can’t compute. That nice, reasonable, smart, hard working people like Donald Trump. \n\nEven in a Trump Boat parade, decked out in red, white and blue T-shirts and blasting military parade songs, these voters are not all like the others. \n\nSome leaned towards being pro-choice. Others think access to assault rifles actually ought be wound back. There is, however, an infatuation with Donald Trump as a person which you can’t reason
