Trump bringing Obama's half-brother to the debate as his guest

President Obama’s half-brother says he will attend Wednesday night’s presidential debate in Las Vegas as a guest of Donald Trump.

“I’m excited to be at the debate. Trump can make America great again,” Malik Obama, the president’s sibling on his father’s side, told the New York Post.

The 58-year-old is a U.S. citizen and splits his time between his home country of Kenya and Washington, D.C, where he has lived since 1985.

“I look very much forward to meeting and being with Malik,” Trump told the Post. “He gets it far better than his brother.”

Trump has also invited the mother of a Benghazi victim to be his guest at the debate.

Trump is still treating the Presidential Debates like they're the Jerry Springer show. Stay tuned for episode 2.

I know that some of us believe that he might be suffering from some declining cognitive abilities, so maybe he is getting confused, in his panic and wrath.

Trump would involve a family member of someone who is not running in this. Really, it makes me sick to my stomach to see how really awful this Trump is.

for that matter care about what Malik Obama has to say?

It is more evidence that Trump is not a serious person.
