NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A Kenyan half-brother of President Barack Obama said Tuesday he supports Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and not the candidate his brother has endorsed, Hillary Clinton.

Malik Obama told The Associated Press he thinks Trump has a lot of energy and is very straightforward.

"Clinton is not honest because she says that she did not reveal any classified information, and she did. And I don't see that kind of person being the president of the United States," he said.

Also, "I do not support same-sex marriage," he said. "I am Muslim, it's something God would not approve. The Republican Party doesn't stand for that."

Malik Obama also expressed disappointment that his half-brother hasn't done more to support his Kenyan family and the country. The president's father was Kenyan.

"I am upset and disillusioned. When he became president there was a lot of excitement and there was a lot of hope that he would do many things for us and the country," he said. "I don't think he has accomplished that."

Trump has tweeted his surprise at Malik Obama's stance: "Was probably treated badly by president - like everybody else!"

Malik Obama, 58, stirred up controversy in 2010 when he took a teenager as his third wife. He ran for governor in his home county of Siaya in 2013 and lost by a landslide. He was unhappy that his half-brother did not endorse him.

The father of President Obama and Malik Obama died in a car crash in 1982, leaving three wives, six sons and a daughter. All his children except Malik and the youngest, George Obama, live in Britain or the United States.
