Donald Trump Is Bringing President Obama’s Half-Brother to the Third Debate

Source: Time

Barack Obama's half-brother Malik will show his support for Donald Trump at the third presidential debate on Wednesday.

The Kenyan-born man, who is also a U.S. citizen, announced in July he would vote for the Republican nominee. Now he tells the New York Post he is “excited” to attend the debate in Las Vegas and believes Trump “can make America Great Again.” Trump tells the Post his guest “gets it far better than his brother.”

The Trump campaign confirmed to TIME that Malik would be the candidate’s guest.

Malik told the Post he does not believe the women who have come forward to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct, asking, “Why didn’t they come forward before?” He found fault with Hillary Clinton’s work as Secretary of State, claiming that Muammar Gaddafi had been a friend and adding, “Check out the situation in Libya now.”

...his advisors are idiots. Since they don't read my posts, I will share my good advice. The best move would be to counter Hillary's wealthy guests with a couple of ordinary Americans who lost jobs due to global trade. The Donald's guests make no sense and won't throw Hillary off her mark. She's strong and experienced.

"The story begins after the death of Trump's father, Fred Sr., in 1999. As David Cay Johnston explains in his book The Making of Donald Trump, Fred Sr. had written a will after the death of his oldest son, Fred Jr., known as Freddy, in 1981. The will left the majority of Fred Sr.'s wealth to Donald and his surviving siblings. Freddy's family was largely cut out.

When Fred Sr. died, Freddy's children sued, claiming that the will "had been 'procured by fraud and undue influence' by Donald and the other surviving siblings," according to Johnston.

Johnston writes that medical insurance had consistently been provided to the family through Fred Sr.'s company. This coverage was crucial for Freddy's grandson (Donald's grandnephew), who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy. So crucial, in fact, that a letter sent from a Trump lawyer to the insurer after the patriarch's death in 1999 said that "all costs" for the sick child's care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity, according to Johnston. That didn't last long.

A week after the lawsuit was filed in court, Freddy's son (Donald's nephew) received a letter informing him that the health insurance would be discontinued, meaning his ill son would be left without coverage. Donald openly admitted to the New York Daily News that he and his siblings took this action out of revenge."

Too bad nobody suggested it to her campaign, or did they? She should also trot out his accusers to sit up front and stare at him. He would lose it for sure! Too bad the debate is tomorrow. I'm sure I'm going to need cocktails for this one.

This is still on the trump website:

(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

I can't believe trump has contradicted himself.

The administration had nothing to do with the death of Gaddafi. I.e., this was not an Osama Bin Laden operation.

They are supposed to make him "look good".....ok I know, impossible task, but hey Trump, and your fucking idiot staff.... Presidents Obama and Mr. President Clinton.....ARE NOT RUNNING.... BUT you need to pick on somebody, beings there is nothing on Hillary you can make a case against, so yup lets turn the country against a past and soon to be past president....you are a total fuck-up....

The Presidential Debate Commission is also not keen on attempts
to turn the debate into a reality TV show. Decorum counts. I think
what you'll see tonight is a rather angry Donald J. Trump. Whether
he goes off the rails is anyone's guess. Certainly HRC and her team
are primed for anything.
