Malik Obama, the half-brother of former President Barack Obama, is showing his whole ass by pledging allegiance to Donald Trump. And it’s not the first time he’s played this tune.
Malik’s relentless crusade against Obama started on Tuesday (Sept. 3) when he went on X to post an old photo of the two captioned “Fake Ass when we were brothers.”
The following day, he returned to the social media app and declared, “I am Malik Obama. I’m a registered Republican and I’m voting for President Donald Trump.”
In 2016, Malik endorsed Trump and attended his 2020 inauguration as Trump’s guest. Shortly after the former reality star was sworn in as President, Malik went online and posted a fake birth certificate he said belonged to Barack— which added fuel to Trump’s racist “birtherism” claims.
Malik Obama’s conservatism has been quite the shock as his brother — the nation’s first Black president — recently gave a viral speech at the Democratic National Convention last month.
Our forever POTUS enthusiastically endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee and disparaged Trump in an insult that has now gone viral.
“It’s been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that’s actually gotten worse now that he’s afraid of losing to Kamala,” he stated. “The childish nicknames and crazy conspiracy theories and weird obsession with crowd sizes.”
Obama said the aforementioned remarks while making a gesture with his hands to mock Trump and hit him where it hurts. As reported by Forbes, Malik’s own political career in Kenya was inspired by his brother’s presidency. He ran independently — albeit unsuccessfully — as the mayor of Kenyan village Kogelo over a decade ago.
“When I look at the success that [Barack] has had in the U.S., I feel I would have let down my people if I do not follow in his footsteps and end their suffering through dedicated, honest and focused leadership,” Malik said.
