The brother of Barack Obama says the former president is actually the one who is running the country, adding that he would continue to play an outsized role in a Kamala Harris administration.

Malik Obama, who was the best man at his brother’s wedding back in the day but has since had a falling out with him, told the New York Post his brother is “still running the country” and would have “a big role to play” if Harris wins.

Malik said Barack made “everything flip” in July when he managed to ‘swap out’ President Joe Biden with the vice president, making her the de facto Democratic nominee without her ever receiving a single primary vote.

“Definitely he had something to do with it. … He’s still running the Democratic Party, and he’s still running the country behind closed doors,” he said of his estranged half-brother. “He’s going to be extremely influential in whatever goes on should they win.”

When asked if Barack and Harris colluded to oust Biden, Malik told The Post: “I’m sure that they are talking almost every day.”

In a Zoom interview from his rural village of Kogelo, Kenya, the Kenyan-born naturalized U.S. citizen expressed his views on the “big disappointment” his half-brother had been in the White House. He discussed his “light bulb” moment when he joined the Republican Party and shared his concerns about the insufficient scrutiny of Harris from legacy media.

“I had a lot of expectations that he didn’t live up to,” Malik said of Barack, describing how two terms in office changed his opinion of his kin and the Democratic Party, which lurched ever to the far-left on social issues since 2008.

This has culminated in Harris’s emphasis on “freedom” as part of her campaign to advocate for federal codification of abortion rights and the expansion of LGBTQ initiatives, which he stated conflicts with his devout Muslim beliefs.

“What if you’re in a marriage? I mean, are you telling me that the woman can do whatever she likes because it’s her body, and you have no say, and you are her husband?” Malik asked. “I am a Muslim, and I believe that God created men for women and women for men.”

His sibling’s interactions with royalty during their time in office, along with a post-presidency that saw the Obamas’ net worth soar to as much as $135 million, have not improved his view of party power brokers either.

“He’s just becoming rich, that’s all. But he’s not down on the ground. And he’s extremely arrogant,” Malik added. “He’s not like the person he used to be. … Even here in Kenya, we don’t feel him. … He’s fake as a snake.”

The irreconcilable differences between the brothers, who share the same father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., began to emerge near the end of Barack’s first term. The tension arose when Malik’s Virginia-based charity, the Barack H. Obama Foundation, was caught failing to register in the state and misrepresenting itself as a tax-exempt organization, The Post reported.

“Now, his foundations are supposed to be mentoring all these young people, and its headquarters is in Chicago, and Chicago has, I don’t know, the worst crime rates,” Malik stated. “So what’s he mentoring?”

“It dawned on me that the Democrats were just a lot of hypocrites — they don’t live up to their promises,” he went on. “But President Trump was forceful, and he was telling the truth, and he was fearless, you know, he wasn’t there just for the image, but he was talking from his heart.”

Malik has endorsed Trump in every election since 2016 and has stated that he is registered as a Republican to vote for the 45th president for a third time in Maryland on November 5, The Post said.

“He’s a businessman, and so he can run the country, and I think he will turn it around,” he said of his Trump endorsement earlier this month.

He added regarding Harris: “All these things that she’s saying that she is going to do when she is the president, why didn’t she do all those things when she has been in office for four good years?”
