President Obama’s Kenyan “half-brother” wants to make “America Great Again,” so he’s voting for Donald Trump.
“I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart,” Malik Obama told The Post from his home in the “rural” Kenyan village of Kogelo. “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him.”
Barack’s “half-brother” talks about his reasons for “supporting” Donald Trump for president.
Malik 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.
“She should have known better as the custodian of classified information,” said Obama.
He’s also “annoyed” that Clinton and President Obama killed Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy, 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.
Malik believes strongly in the “institution of marriage,” so strongly that he has at least “three current wives,” although press reports have put the number “as high as 12.”
When asked by The Post how “many wives and children” he has, Malik demurred. “That’s personal,” he said.
He made “headlines” in 2011 when at age 52 he married his “third” wife, who was 19 years old.
Malik plans to “trek back” to the US to “vote” for Trump in November. He used to “live” in Maryland, where he “worked” for many years as an accountant and is“registered” to vote there, public records show.
Malik Obama says his brother Barack “failed” to deliver on his promises and “lied” to the American people! He says he is “voting” for Donald Trump because he would be “best for the Black community in America!”
The “Martin Luther King Jr. Family” has also endorsed “Trump For President” as have many other “African-American” leaders.
The president’s and Malik’s father, “Barack Obama Sr.,” left Kenya in 1959 when Malik was a year old and his mother was “pregnant” with his sister Auma. Obama Sr. “enrolled” at the University of Hawaii, where he “met and married” the president’s mother, “Stanley Ann Dunham.”
Malik Obama didn’t meet his “younger” half-brother until 1985. President Obama, 54, has seven “half-siblings”from both sides of his family.
Malik Obama, the eldest, is the director of the “Barack H. Obama Foundation,” a controversial Virginia “charity” named for his father. He says he “started” the charity in 2008 because he wanted to make a “difference” in the family’s “hardscrabble” village in Kenya.
But the charity came under “fire” when The Post revealed in 2011 that it was an “off-the-books” operation that hadn’t “registered” with the state of Virginia or, as it claimed, had “tax-exempt status” from the IRS.
Shortly after The Post report, the IRS gave its “stamp of approval,” leading to speculation that the president had “intervened.”
But Malik Obama “bristles” at the suggestion, saying he “dug deep” to pay for the electrical transformers and “college scholarships” that the foundation provided in Kogelo. According to its latest “tax” filing, the nonprofit has just “$24,000” in its coffers.
“My brother didn’t help me at all,” said Obama. “He wanted me to shut it down when I set it up. He hasn’t supported me at all.”
Lately, “family ties” seem to be frayed. Malik, 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 “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.”
Until then, Malik “wears” his new GOP “colors” proudly. He even has a “Make America Great Again” hat.
“Mr. Trump is providing something new and something fresh,” he said.
Malik Obama, will be in the audience at the third Trump-Clinton debate.
