President Obama's GOP-Loving Brother Doubles Down on What Makes Trump the Best Choice

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Donald Trump had invited a very special guest to the third and final presidential debate: Malik Obama.
If President Obama's half-brother sitting in Trump's corner didn't send enough of a message in itself, the Kenyan native's post-debate interview with Sean Hannity certainly did.
During his Fox News interview with Hannity, Obama not only directed some harsh words at the Commander-in-Chief, but also doubled-down on why he's supporting the GOP nominee.
Obama's brother, Malik Obama, has just announced that he's voting for Donald Trump in 2016.
Saying he's “disappointed” in the man his half-brother has become since being elected president, Obama told Hannity:
"Before he was running for office, he was everybody’s friend.
Since he’s become the president, he’s changed. I can’t reach him...
I think he has been sucked into that matrix, and mesmerized by the power. He’s just too formal and stiff, even when we’re alone.”
Obama went on to explain why he doesn't just support Trump, but the Republican party as a whole.

Looking back to a time when America had truly ripped itself apart, Obama cited his reason for supporting the GOP:
“The Republican Party is the party of Lincoln. Lincoln freed the slaves.”
As for why he's casting his vote for Trump, in particular, Obama said simply:
“He built a fantastic business empire, and I don’t’ see why he can’t do that for the country.”
One issue that didn't come up, however, was Malik Obama's alleged ties to the Palestinian militant Islamist group Hamas.

Given these alleged ties, his outspoken support for Trump, and the discouraging picture he paints of POTUS, it's not hard to see why President Obama might want to distance himself from his half-brother.
Nonetheless, that Malik Obama would turn his back on his famous brother's political party — in favor of the often-vilified Donald Trump, no less — might make the next Obama family reunion an awkward affair.
