I wonder what is the relevancy of a disgruntled half brother of an ex president?

> Malik Obama said that after leaving the White House, Barack Obama has not reached out to speak to him, and that “He never tried to reach out when he was President”<

So he is disappointed that his half brother did not reach out to him and for that reason he supports Trump? What a sucker.

> “If President Trump can accept me and be my friend, he can do that with anyone of any race.” Malik Obama has made clear that all people have certain biases, but that in his view, “President Trump is not a racist”.<

Does he really believe Trump is his “friend”? Does he really believe Trump is ANYBODY’s friend, besides that of his huge own ego? Is this man blind and deaf? Didn’t he hear how Trump called one of the few blacks in one of his rallies “where is my afro-american”? How did this sound to him? To me it sounded like someone calling for his puppy. May be Trump “is not a racist”, but he feeds sugar to the worst racists saying that there are very fine people among them and lying that the racists had permits and the counter protesters did not. Why would anybody who is not a racist deep in his heart, favor open racists? Not even the GOP leaders accepted this hypocrisy. Trump has based his campaign from the very beginning on xenophobia, religious prejudice and racial divide. Why is it that his followers put BLM on the same level as KKK? Why is it that KKK, white supremacists and neo nazis support Trump, although for some of them he does not even go far enough?

Obviously Malik does not understand why the racists, white supremacists and neo nazis wave the confederate flag and want to save the confederate memorials. He does not understand that they stand for racism and slavery.
What is this, lack of historic education, stupidity or hypocrisy?

Mr. Wohl, what made you think that this man’s thoughts are worth our time? Twitter and facebook are full of dumb Trumpsters, why do we need another of them here?
