The New York Post says Barack Obama’s Kenyan half-brother is voting for Donald Trump in the November presidential elections.
According to the Post, Malik Obama says he likes the GOP nominee “because he speaks from the heart.”
He says: “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him.”
Malik Obama attributes his recent switch to “the party of Lincoln” to his “deep disappointment” in his brother’s administration. He also cites the FBI decision not to indict presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for using a private email server during her stint as secretary of state.

“She should have known better as the custodian of classified information,” the Post quotes Malik Obama as saying.
Obama also expresses anger over his brother’s killing Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, whom he says was one of his best friends.
