Donald Trump’s campaign is bringing President Barack Obama’s half-brother to the third and final presidential debate on Wednesday.
The campaign confirms that Obama’s Kenyan-born half-brother Malik will be in the audience during the final showdown between Trump and rival Hillary Clinton.
Malik tells the New York Post that he’s “excited to be at the debate” and says, “Trump can make America great again.”
Trump also tells the paper that Malik, “gets it far better than his brother.”
The candidates have been using their debate guests as a tool to try to get inside their rivals’ heads. Clinton is bringing frequent Trump critic and billionaire Mark Cuban and Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO Meg Whitman.
Trump invited to the most recent debate three of the women who accused former President Bill Clinton of sexually harassing or assaulting them years ago.

What a stupid gimmick and it shows how desperate Trump has become. The debate commission should set a rule for the next round of debates in 2020 that the first several rows are reserved for elected officials and candidate’s family only. These “guests” on both sides are making the debates more of a media circus and do nothing to add to the dialogue.

if i recall correctly it was hillarious was the the one w/ the idea to bring such guests at the first debate
It’s truly amazing that this particular family even claims to know who their father was.

Agree…it was HRC’s staff who suggested bringing Mark Cuban to unsettle Trump. As I said, both sides have engaged in these charades which tend to detract from the debates. After this cycle, I suspect the entire debate structure will be restructured anyway since neither side seems to like it.
