Fake news?
In April of this year, Donald Trump himself said that Michael Cohen was a fine person who wouldn't lie or make up stories
You don't trust our president?
I, for one, appreciate how much you've upped the troll game.

It's just one more statement on top of all the instances where Trump's racism has emerged from his Id.

I wonder how he feels about the President saying that the Emory and Yale Law educated woman in his home state isn't qualified for the job? Or making false claims about Gillum being a thief? These again aren't direct enough for him to show that he's racist. He has to say explicitly that Abrams isn't qualified because she's black and that Gillum is a thief because he's black.

I think that saying someone is unqualified is not racist. Whether it is true is a different story.
Calling someone a thief is also not racist. Whether it is true is a different story.
You are correct that adding "because they are black" would make both statements racist.

Trump in the past has expressed interest in buying the J. Edgar Hoover FBI building if the relocation that had been planned across multiple administrations went through. It is located just one block from Trump's International Hotel.
However as president he'd no longer be able to purchase it and proceeding with the less costly relocation effort would open up the opportunity for Trump's real estate competitors to scoop it up.
That is, until the relocation effort was suddenly abandoned in favor of the costlier plan to keep the current location and renovate it.
The WH and administration officials denied the president having any involvement in the FBI HQ matter.
This is what GSA Administrator Murphy told Congress:
"This direction that we got came from the FBI," she told a House committee in April. "It was the FBI that directed GSA as to what its requirements would be."
However that congressional testimony is contradicted by previous Trump administration emails released by House Democrats earlier in October.
An email from GSA Administrator Murphy to a WH official said this:
"The president was briefed yesterday on this by the GSA administrator [Murphy], Deputy [Attorney General Rod Rosenstein] and FBI Director [Christopher Wray] and signed off on this path forward."
Other emails include the following:
"a demolition/new construction per the president's instructions" and "what POTUS directed everyone to do."
New emails also suggest the WH lied to the public about the cost of the FBI HQ relocation. Not going forward with the relocation but redeveloping the Hoover building instead is actually the more expensive option, contrary to the WH's public statements.

Emails Appear at Odds With White House Statement on FBI Relocation Costs
Documents suggest Trump administration was aware plan to redevelop J. Edgar Hoover building would cost more than a move to the suburbs

Democrats seek answers on Trump's role in U.S. FBI headquarters project
Congressional Democrats on Friday asked the White House for more information about planning for a new FBI headquarters and released a government email that they said raises fresh concerns about the Trump administration’s handling of the matter.
In the latest skirmish between top Democratic investigators in the U.S. House of Representatives and the administration, five lawmakers sent a letter to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly including the internal email from February 2018.
The Feb. 13 email included in the letter says a White House-backed proposal for a new FBI building at the agency’s existing headquarters site in central Washington, D.C., would result in a “less secure facility” and have a “higher per seat cost” than an earlier plan to move the FBI to the suburbs.

Considering that Black people are often attributed the worst negative qualities in the context of the US society, it isn't a stretch to say that since Trump's accusations are unfounded, the only motivation behind his statements is his personal feelings about the politicians he keeps insulting, who all happen to be Democrat and black.
But you already knew that. You're just playing the game of plausible deniability.

In legal terms, we apply a preponderance of evidence standard to most things in politics. If we look at Donald trump’s conduct as a private citizen; his conduct and policies and policy preferences, as President and his statements through out his life, it is hard not to conclude that he is a white supremacist.
The same could be said that he is misogynist. The same standard of evidence shows he is classist.
If we look at the percentage of Americans who are not wealthy, not male and not white, we see that at least one of those descriptors applies to a majority of Americans.
It is a bad situation when the executive branch of your country is controlled by someone who is biased against the vast majority of his fellow countrymen.
The same biases that Trump has exist within the legislative and judicial branches. Taken all together, we cannot call out current situation anything other than hostile, minority rule.

Chapo just did a whole episode about Dinesh D’Souza’s bizarre movie where he now claims that Democrats are the heirs to slavery, the KKK and also Nazis.
Among other things, there is an uncredited actor who played Frederick Douglas and is likely wearing black face. Keep in mind that Dinesh is considered a public intellectual among conservatives.
