Donald Trump is looking to build momentum for the home stretch of the race.
He’s getting support in the most unlikely of places this election.
And Donald Trump got one endorsement that left Barack Obama steaming mad.
Trump picks up an endorsement from an Obama
Former President Barack Obama is working overtime to get Vice President Kamala Harris elected this November.
But not everyone in the Obama family is going to vote for the Democrat Presidential nominee.
The former President and his half-brother, Malik Obama, are the sons of Barack Hussein Obama Sr.
Malik Obama was the best man at his famous brother’s 1992 wedding to former First Lady Michelle Obama.
But the two brothers have grown estranged over the years.
Now, Malik Obama is backing former President Donald Trump and has left the Democrat Party.
“I’m supporting President Trump. I’ve been a supporter, a supporter since 2016. I like him,” Malik Obama told Fox News. “I like the way he comes across. I like his demeanor. I like his straightforwardness. And I think he’s good for the country. And, he put the country back on course. Yes. I’m a Republican, so he’s my nominee.”
He said that his former President brother is “fake” and “did zilch” for his family.
Obama’s brother slams Democrats hypocrisy
Malik explained that he left the Democrat Party because of the 2016 election after seeing how Trump was treated compared to former First Lady Hillary Clinton.
“They’ve been treating Mr. President Trump horribly,” Obama said. “I’m not seeing anything like that in my life. You know, they’re going after him for, you know, going through tooth and nail. But using the judiciary to try to lock him up and keep him off the ballot, and I’ve not seen anything like that in my life. So the way they’re treating a former president of the United States of America is despicable to me.”
He said that Trump calling out Clinton in 2016 made him a fan of the former President.
“They did it with Hillary, Hillary Clinton, and they were lying. And, you know, they’re just hypocrites. And, you know, they’re not straightforward and OK, I was a Democrat at that time until, you know, they started lying and, about the emails and I saw through, you know, they’re, they’re trying to put Hillary Clinton through, by devious means,” Obama explained.
“And then Trump came out and called them out,” Obama continued. “He called them out straight to their face. And I like that. And a light bulb just came on from my head. And I just said, ‘Yeah, this is it.’ So I’ve been a big Trump follower since then.”
Malik slammed the way that Democrats treated President Joe Biden.
“Then you had Joe Biden, old man,” Obama said. “He can’t even find the door even if you showed him, and he holds on until the last minute and he is the nominee. And all of a sudden, they drop off and they put Kamala Harris. Come on Harris. She’s like a joke. I see the way she behaves and everything, and I don’t think that she’s the right person. Maybe they should have decided to put Michelle Obama instead.”
He said that his brother and Kamala had the same beliefs on immigration and abortion.
“Even the border issue with the immigration and illegal immigrants coming into the United States. It took me forever to get my children [through] and I came in legally to the United States. I had a green card. The papers were put through, and I went through the process, and I was a legal resident for a long time until I decided to become a U.S. citizen. And that also was a process. You have to go and file and apply and do the things you’re supposed to do,” Obama stated.
Malik Obama is the one member of his family who’s seen the light politically.
