In a development that has caused, shock, awe and surprise in equal measure across the world, Barack Obama's half brother Malik Obama announced today that he would be voting for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential elections later on this year. For those wondering, whether this is an indictment on the Obama administration then they are not mistaken since Malik Obama stated that in spite of being a Democrat, he has been left disappointed with his brother's policies and hence he is backing Trump. Malik Obama stated, "I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart. Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him." He will travel to the United States in November from his village in Kenya in order to cast his vote.
According to a report on FOX NEWS, "Obama, 58, a longtime Democrat, said his "deep disappointment" in his brother Barack's administration has led him to recently switch allegiance to "the party of Lincoln. The last straw, he said, came earlier this month when FBI Director James Comey recommended not prosecuting Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over her use of a private e-mail servers while secretary of state." On the matter of Mrs. Clinton's usage of private e-mail servers, he said, "She should have known better as the custodian of classified information,"
The New York Post reported that he was not impressed with his brother and his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton's role in the killing of Libya's Moammar Khadafy. He was quoted as saying, "I still feel that getting rid of Khadafy didn't make things any better in Libya. My brother and the secretary of state disappointed me in that regard." He added that the legalisation of same sex marriage has also made his decision easier since he does not think same sex marriages should be legal. On that matter, he stated, "I feel like a Republican now because they don't stand for same-sex marriage, and that appeals to me,". These are definitely testing times for the Democrats and a huge endorsement for Donald Trump. After learning about the endorsement, he tweeted, "Wow, President Obama's brother, Malik, just announced that he is voting for me. Was probably treated badly by president-like everybody else!"
