Obama's half-brother accepts Donald Trump's invitation to final debate


Donald Trump finally found an Obama born in Kenya, and is bringing him to the final presidential debate.
President Obama's half-brother, Malik Obama, will be Trump's guest Wednesday night in Las Vegas. Malik Obama is an American citizen who lives in Washington, D.C., when he's not in Kenya. He told The New York Post he supports the Republican nominee, and is "excited to be at the debate. Trump can make America great again." Trump said he's also looking forward to meeting Malik, who "gets it far better than his brother."
Malik is three years older than the president, and runs The Barack H. Obama Foundation, named after their father. He said he last saw his brother in August 2015, and their reunion was "a hands-off kind of thing, very businesslike, very formal."
