As the White House distances itself from former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone, Netflix is gearing up to debut a new doc on the self-described “dirty trickster.”

In “Get Me Roger Stone” — which includes interviews with Stone, Trump and former campaign manager Paul Manafort — Stone brags that he identified Trump as a candidate years before he won.

“I was like a jockey looking for a horse … you can’t win the race if you don’t have a horse,” Stone says in a trailer for the film, seen exclusively by Page Six. Manafort concurs, adding, “Roger saw something that nobody else saw back in the early ’80s.”

Trump proclaims of Stone in the trailer, “He loves the game, he has fun with it and he’s very good at it.”

But White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s publicly downplayed Stone’s role in the campaign, saying last week at a press conference: “Mr. Stone is somebody the president has known for a long time. He worked briefly on the campaign . . . until about August of 2015 . . . They have talked from time to time, but I don’t think anytime recently.”

Stone’s under scrutiny in the FBI’s Russia investigation.

He’s denied wrongdoing and offered to testify. In the film, he proudly shows off the Richard Nixon tattoo on his back and crows, “I revel in your hatred because if I weren’t effective, you wouldn’t hate me.”

The hot film by directors Morgan Pehme, Dylan Bank and Daniel DiMauro and executive producer Blair Foster premieres April 23 at Tribeca, and May 12 on Netflix.
