Malik Obama, who said he was also voting for Mr Trump in order to shift his allegiance from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.

He tweeted: “Wow, President Obama’s brother, Malik, just announced that he is voting for me”.
Obama had maintained since the day Trump announced his run at the White House that the real estate mogul would never be president, but that all changed last night as Obama warned Hillary to “run scared” as she prepares to be the first female president, reports The Telegraph. “It is the nature of democracy”.
“That’s why anyone who threatens our values, whether fascists, or Communists, or jihadists, or homegrown demagogues, will always fail in the end”, he said.
Just six months after telling Matt Lauer he couldn’t imagine Donald Trump giving a State of the Union address – except in a “Saturday Night Live” skit – President Barack Obama now says “anything is possible” in November.
“That’s what matters. That’s why we can take the food and music and holidays and styles of other countries, and blend it into something uniquely our own”, he said. “I said. ‘Thank you very much'”.
Trump dismissed the claims, saying it’s not clear who hacked those emails, but the incident is a sign that foreign countries no longer respect the U.S.
Obama’s speech reminded me how good it felt to support a presidential candidate whose words and demeanor are truly inspiring, rather than just accepting the lesser of two evils.
In a press conference Wednesday, Trump said that the 30,000 missing emails from Clinton’s private email server would reveal “some beauties”.
The president’s America is full of hope, optimism and promise.
Earlier, Trump’s campaign dismissed assaults by Democratic leaders at the Democratic National Convention as “empty rhetoric”.
His “anything can happen” attitude came up a second time in the same interview, on the subject of whether or not Russian President Vladimir Putin could be trying to swing the election to Trump by overseeing a computer hacking operation that gave the Democratic National Committee a black eye this week. It basically said that convention last week, what I heard out of that convention wasn’t Republican and it surely wasn’t conservative. He will be speaking exactly 12 years after his famous 2004 convention speech in which he said, “There’s not a liberal America and a conservative America; there’s the United States of America”, putting him on the national map in his quest for the presidency. “America is already strong… our greatness does not depend on Donald Trump”.

Instead, he wanted to talk about Clinton, he said, about her readiness to be commander in chief and her approach to making big decisions.
