Obama’s Half-Brother — Cheering On Donald At Debate

Things are getting personal between Donald Trump and Barack Obama — as the President’s half-brother accepted the Donald’s invite to the final presidential debate! Malik Obama, the Kenyan-born half brother to Barack Obama, famously endorsed Trump back in July. “I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart,” said Malik, adding: “'Make America Great Again' is a great slogan. I would like to meet him!”

Malik (seen here in his native Kenya) will now be cheering on Trump in person. When the billionaire invited Malik to the debate, the 58-year-old voiced his delight. “I’m excited to be at the debate," he told the New York Post. "Trump can make America great again.”

Malik also stands by Trump in light of the recent sexual misconduct allegations laid out against the candidate. “I don’t believe them,” Malik said of Trump's accusers. “Why didn’t they come forward before?”

Trump has spoken up to say that he's just as excited to meet Obama's sibling. “I look very much forward to meeting and being with Malik,” Trump said. “He gets it far better than his brother!”

And how does Malik feel about his half brother? He said Barack, who is three years his junior, gave him a cold reception when he last visited in D.C. “I went to the White House to say hello. I paid a courtesy call,” Malik said. “As usual, it was a hands-off kind of thing — very businesslike, very formal.”
