In 2011, in response to rumors questioning the legitimacy of Obama's Presidency, the White House released a long-form version of the politician's birth certificate that it had requested from the state of Hawaii, claiming that the controversy over the document was "distracting" Americans from the "many challenges we face as a country."

The presidential half-brother's following rapidly grew after he declared his support to Trump, and urged voters to select the Republican ticket in the US Presidential elections in November 2016. Malik claimed that he was deeply disappointed in the Obama administration, and criticized his brother repeatedly.

Malik also repeatedly fired at the then-Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, claiming that she was "corrupt," "dangerous," and was not capable of keeping the US safe.
"Hillary does not keep us safe. She doesn't keep her emails safe! She lies and lies and lies. America needs truth!!!" he tweeted, in a very Trump-like manner.
