Donald Trump once claimed black people were "too stupid" to vote for him and regularly used explicitly racist language before coming into office, his former lawyer has claimed.

Michael Cohen, who served as the president's lawyer and fixer for a decade, claimed he witnessed Mr Trump making derogatory comments about black people throughout the 2016 election campaign.


Cohen has publicly split from Mr Trump since he was charged with campaign finance violations and tax fraud earlier this year.

He pleaded guilty to several charges this summer, claiming he violated election laws at the direction of Mr Trump, to pay a porn star in a hush money agreement.

In his first interview since his guilty plea, Cohen told Vanity Fair Mr Trump said "black people are too stupid to vote for me" after he made an observation that crowds at the candidate's rallies were largely caucasian.

Cohen further claimed that after Nelson Mandela's death, Mr Trump said "name one country run by a black person that's not a sh**hole".

He added that Mr Trump once said his decision not to pick a black Harvard graduate on The Apprentice "there's no way I can let this black f*g win".

It is not the first time Mr Trump has been accused of racism. Earlier this year Mr Trump faced claims he had referred to African nations as "s*** hole countries".

Former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman also claimed Mr Trump had used the n-word during filming of reality TV show The Apprentice. At the time Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, said she could not "guarantee" that Mr Trump had never used the slur.

The White House has not yet responded to these latest claims.

It came after a week in which the US president amplified his hard-line stance on immigration, even suggesting American soldiers could open fire on a migrant caravan if its members threw rocks.

In an address from the White House on Thursday evening, Mr Trump said: "If they [migrants] want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back...I told them, consider it a rifle."

Our men and women in uniform are better trained, better equipped, and better led so they meet any threat with confidence. A wasteful deployment of over-stretched Soldiers and Marines would be made much worse if they use force disproportional to the threat they face. They won’t.

Mr Trump rowed back on the comments on Friday after former US generals, including a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, rebuked the idea and questioned the legality of such action.

The US president changed course saying, "They [soldiers] won't have to fire. What I don't want, I don't want these people throwing rocks."

He added: "What they [migrants] did to the Mexican military is a disgrace. They hit them with rocks...they do that with us they are going to be arrested."

Earlier on Friday, the Nigerian Army, which has been accused of numerous human rights abuses, used Mr Trump's remarks to justify its fatal shootings of rock-throwing protesters this week.

The Nigerian Army’s official Twitter account posted a video of Mr Trump's remarks, saying: “Please Watch and Make Your Deductions”. The tweet has since been deleted.

Mr Trump also defended his plans to sign an order next week to end what he called the "abuse" of the US asylum system, including the potential construction of "massive tent cities".

He insisted that migrants seeking asylum status would be made to wait at the border while their requests are processed.
