Trump Would’ve Banned Obama’s Muslim Half-Brother from U.S. But Now Brings Him to Debate

Trump Would’ve Banned Obama’s Muslim Half-Brother from U.S. But Now Brings Him to Debate

Donald Trump is back to making America laugh again. And as usual it’s unintentional. ..... under Trump’s “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” that he announced in December, guess who would’ve not been allowed in the United States? Yep, Obama’s half brother who is Muslim and from Kenya.

And even under Trump’s new and improved “Muslim ban” that would require “extreme vetting” and ban Muslims from countries that are linked to terrorism, Malik wouldn’t have been able to get past customs. There have been numerous terrorist attacks in Kenya in recent years from the 1998 attack on the US embassy by Al Qaeda that left 200 dead to various attacks by the terrorist group Al-Shabaab including one in 2014 that left over 150 dead at Kenya University.

Also we have to wonder if Malik could’ve passed Trump’s “extreme vetting” that requires immigrants to share “our values.” (I can assure you that I and per polls most American’s don’t share Trump’s “values.”) But in Malik’s case, as CBS News reported, he is a polygamist with reportedly three wives. ...........

Trump has got to be the biggest idiot evar. I don't think he realizes that this makes him look like he doesn't know our enemies because he doesn't read or listen to our experts, which makes him the REAL danger to our national security.

He does know he's not debating Obama right? Not that Obama would let such a silly stunt rattle him.

by bringing this guy to the debate. Obama isn't the candidate. Hillary has no relationship with Malik (who apparently doesn't like his half-brother, but so what?); she probably couldn't even pick him out of a lineup. Does he think Malik's presence will disturb or rattle her in some way? How much paint have his campaign been huffing lately?

And what is it with presidents' brothers? Seems like many presidents have had disreputable brothers. There was Nixon's brother Donald, who got tangled up in some dodgy financial deal; Carter's brother Billy and "Billy Beer" (along with other shenanigans); Bill Clinton's brother Roger (cocaine conviction); W's brother Neil (prostitutes and savings & loan funny business). Hillary's brother Tony Rodham has had a few problems, too. Oddly, Trump's siblings are the "good" ones. But then, Trump will never be president.

It is a birther ploy, delegitimation of Dems. Trump has a personal hatred of Obama and just can't let it go. He's probably still having nightmares of Obama roasting his sorry ass at the WH Correspondent's dinner.

especially not Hillary. So he's just playing to his base and nobody else will notice - which proves how amazingly bad Trump is at politics. I'll bet his campaign staff - at least those who remain who are not lunatics like Bannon - tried to tell him it was a dumb idea, but it's obvious that Trump doesn't take advice from anybody.
