His reasons are as dumb as you'd expect.

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 village of Kogelo. “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him.”

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.”

....

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

Obama 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, Obama demurred.

“That’s personal,” he said.

Every family has its moron.

 

[FireBeaver]

Thanks, Obama.

 

[Sane_Man]

My brother voted UKIP. I know the feeling.

 

[brainchild]

Thanks, Obama.

Hahaha

 

[spiderman123]

Half the intelligence

 

[Plinko]

"He speaks from the heart" is the biggest BS reason for voting for someone.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Wasn't this the dude who was trying to get the White House to bail him out of a DUI?

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Khadafy, is that how it's written in english?

 

[Ekai]

Thanks, Obama.

This is probably the best use of this meme ever.

 

[ThisGuy]

Thanks, Obama.

Lol, that's good.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Nice. A lot of people do not believe America is great already...even one of Obama's own. He made decisions during his 2 terms and now Obama has to live with the trade offs.

 

[Kusagari]

I seriously thought this was a subtle satirical piece from the Post when I saw the paragraph about him valuing traditional marriage so much he had at least 3 wives.

Then I saw it being reported elsewhere.

 

[sangreal]

Khadafy, is that how it's written in english?

Not usually but I believe there is no correct way to write it in English so you see all kinds of variations

Is he even a US citizen?

I didn't think so but the article said he is register to vote in Maryland and be has a history of working in the US so I guess so

 

[Slayven]

Is he even a US citizen?

 

[UraMallas]

Khadafy, is that how it's written in english?

First time I've seen it that way.

Apparently America's not great because we let gays marry.

 

[gdt]

The NYPost is shit rag. And they are even shittier to find this crazy dude just so he can give out his crazy opinions to embarrass the President.

 

[Phantast2k]

Is he even a US citizen?

Yeah, I was asking the same question in my head after reading this:

Lately, family ties seem to be frayed. 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.

Based on your avatar and username I'm assuming you're a joke character.

 

[JordanN]

 

[SporeCrawler]

does he have a vote?

 

[Slayven]

Yeah, I was asking the same question in my head after reading this:

Yeah, from everything I read he doesn't even live in the USA.

 

[Empty]

feels weird to see the words "obama said" next to stupid nonsense

 

[Hoo-doo]

Is this real?

 

[Kusagari]

Is this real?

Yep.

 

[kswiston]

Wow. Trump just doubled his black vote in a single day. Momentum!

 

[Kayhan]

There you have it, Obama is endorsing Trump.

 

[obin_gam]

Isn't NYPost just the US version of Daily Mail?

 

[The Boat]

I guess all the intelligence went to Barack.

 

[Palette Swap]

I swear, every single time someone posts a Trump tweet, there are these three seconds of disbelief where I assume it's a parody.
That dude is beneath running for president, let alone being one.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Guy can't even vote for US president.

 

[Fug Slanderson]

Trump speaks from the heart. His cold black heart.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

What is it with President's brothers hahaha

 

[JordanN]

Is this real?

Edit: Drumpf's twitter feed is on fire. He made reference to ISIS about Hillary/Kaine.

 

[daviyoung]

I'm sorry America, but this guy is a machine

 

[Slayven]

Isn't NYPost just the US version of Daily Mail?

It's worst

 

[NimbusD]

Wow Obama has 12 wives? Totally going Republican now.


Ugh seriously so much of the base of Republicans and especially trump supporters believe random shit like this as fact and claim any news outlet that doesn't report it or debunks it are liars, how the fuck so you even combat something like that?

And yeah I know liberals have similar things, especially when it comes to touting things like gun statistics that are blatantly wrong or misleading (and imo that just hurts the casee for further. Control which has an innately strong case)... But look at the rnc it's full of people who genuinely believe liberals to be demons in human form and Obama to be their Muslim king.

 

[Tugatrix]

The guy is Kenian he can't vote

 

[kswiston]

It's worst

Do people read the New York Post outside of the NYC area?

It's not one of those American papers I hear much about up in Canada-land.

 

[ClosingADoor]

I don't think he is American, how will he vote exactly?

 

[asagami_]

Well, he show his true colors. At least he recognizes Republican party don't like homosexual relationships!

Spoiler

Fuck Trump

 

[giga]

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

So the dude is a self-admitted bigot and is allegedly "voting" for the candidate who shares his bigotry.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Drumpf's twitter feed is on fire. He even compared Hillary/Kaine with ISIS.

That's not comparing them to ISIS

 

[Kurdel]

Why not post the full front page OP?

 

[What did he mean by this?]

"Speaks from the heart" is officially code for "He's a bigot like me". Good to know.
