President Barack Obama’s half brother is voting for presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. Malik Obama, a longtime Democrat, is so disgusted with his brother’s policies that he is considering switching political parties.
“I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart,” said Obama, who resides in the rural village of Kogelo, Kenya.
Obama told the Washington Post, “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him.”.
Malik Obama said his “deep disappointment” in Obama led him to switch to the “party of Lincoln.”
He said the last straw came when the FBI director announced he would not recommend charges for Hillary Clinton, who kept an illegal server in her home.
“She should have known better as the custodian of classified information,” said Obama.
Malik Obama also said he opposes same-sex marriage, which his brother fully supported.
“I feel like a Republican now because they don’t stand for same-sex marriage, and that appeals to me,” he said.
