President Malik Obama

Could Malik Obama, Barack Obama's half-brother, ever get elected president of Kenya or any other powerful position within Kenya? He's an internationally known figure thanks to his powerful and famous younger brother (and nowadays because of his Twitter account). But it seems he has struggled in electoral politics, since he was apparently defeated by a wide margin when he ran for governor of his county in Kenya (he blamed voter fraud for his loss, but considering this is Kenya, he may have a point).

But Malik seems like a likeable guy, Twitter aside. He seems relatable. Is Malik really that less charismatic than Barack and incapable of inspiring voters? How far could Malik Obama get in politics in Kenya if he put his mind to it?

Now, Malik Obama has been prominent lately thanks to his upfront support of Donald Trump. How might a 2012 Donald Trump presidency affect a Malik Obama campaign in '12 or '13? I feel Malik's success is impossible without either Obama or Trump (or a similar figure) occupying the White House thanks to the attention it will give, including domestic attention in Kenya.

The current Kenyan president, Uhuru Kenyatta, is rather controversial thanks to his ICC-related issues. Malik Obama does not have that issue, but I think a friendship with a controversial figure like Trump will help transfer that controversy to Malik Obama. Politically, Malik will be conservative, but he will want to benefit Kenya in the most ways he can, since he believes Obama failed Kenya when he could've done more (this seems to lay at the root of Malik's thoughts on US politics). I don't know what that will mean in practice if Malik gets in charge of anything major.

So, could Malik Obama rise to high places in the Kenyan government, and succeed Kenyatta?

Would Thot(ian) Kenya be benevolent or would it join the ranks of Ba'athist Iraq and Soviet Russia?

In all seriousness,Malik Obama probably couldn't become President of Kenya. He has a better chance of unseating Tim Kaine in 2018 through meme magic and at that point,I think it's safe to say Tim Kaine would have to be a lizardman to lose.

I kinda doubt it, since he did so poorly when he ran last time. I only know him from his funny twitter posts, but I don't think that would win him many votes.

If the meme magic of 2016 continues on, not only will he beat Kaine he will become Trump's running mate for his 82th term in the year 2134.

We can tell from his Twitter that Malik Obama has great PR. Problem is, he's directing it at Americans. But say Malik is doing this earlier, still can get good PR, and directs his Twitter at Kenyans along with occasional notes of Barack Obama or Trump.

Meme Magic can work in Kenya of course. Kenya = Africa = Egypt = Kek = Meme Magic. But does Kek will it? Shadilay.

Jeez, this is even less well-grounded than President Nile Kinnick scenarios.

Well, there was a thread earlier today about Ted Bundy (R) vs John Wayne Gacy (D) for the President of the US. I think Malik Obama for Kenyan president is at least as sensible.
 
I love this thread our Frog lingo is so strong that Normies cannot it to memes. And why not, meme magic did even grater odds. Remember the 777777777? That was some strong meme magic. And I assume that it would be only fair for Malik to become president of Kenya. He help his nimbleness a lot .., I and if meme magic does work why not get all other forgs to do same raids for him on Kenya social media.
