I think that headline should read ‘Obama’s half-witted brother’, and that’s being generous to the majority of Trump supporters.

Kenyan Malik Obama is voting for the Orange Menace, despite the fact that he has been a longtime Democrat. Malik says his half-brother’s poor leadership is the reason for his switch – well, that and a few other things.

Here’s Page Six with that interview:

“I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart,” Malik Obama [said] from his home in the rural village of Kogelo. “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him”…

He’s also annoyed that Clinton and President Obama killed Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy [sic], whom he called one of his best friends.

Malik Obama dedicated his 2012 biography of his late father to Khadafy and others who were “making this world a better place.”

“I still feel that getting rid of Khadafy didn’t make things any better in Libya,” he said. “My brother and the secretary of state disappointed me in that regard.”

But what bothers him even more is the Democratic Party’s support of same-sex marriage.

“I feel like a Republican now because they don’t stand for same-sex marriage, and that appeals to me,” he said.

Shocker, a Trump voter whose decision is based on intolerance. Age obviously doesn’t matter much to Malik though, who married his third wife while she was still in her teens and he was 53.

Sounds like Malik may still be bitter from a failed attempt at entering politics himself, though:

Lately, family ties seem to be frayed. [Malik] Obama, who was best man at the president’s wedding, said he spoke to his brother a year ago and was miffed that he did nothing to help his own foray into politics when he ran for governor of the southwestern Kenyan county of Siaya in 2013.

Malik Obama lost the race, and spent $20,000 of his own money on the unsuccessful campaign.

“I don’t think politics is my thing,” he told The Post. “Honestly, I’ll be happy when my brother is out of office, and I will finally be out of the limelight and be able to live like a human being.”

Maybe some of those frayed ties stem from Malik making close to $50 000 selling handwritten letters by his half-brother, which sounds an awful lot like someone profiting off that limelight he can’t wait to be out of.
