Article contentThe half-brother of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he believes former U.S. president Donald Trump is “genuine,” while also urging Canadian government workers to quit their jobs in a four-minute-long video.
In a post on X on Monday, Kyle Kemper, who shares a mother with Trudeau, discussed how U.S. politics could affect Canada. In the video, which had been viewed almost 30,000 times by Tuesday afternoon, he endorsed Trump ahead of the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5.

He said that he believes in his gut that Trump is a “genuine person” who wants to “leave a good legacy.”
“In a nutshell, (a Trump presidency is) going to mean a shift in the vibration of Canada. It’s going to open up the opportunity for government innovation within Canada, likely massive tax reform in Canada,” he said.
Kemper added that Trump said he was willing to get rid of income tax during a sit-down interview with podcast host Joe Rogan and that “policies in America will come up in Canada.” Many Canadians left the country after becoming successful, he said, because the “tax regime is just crazy” and not a “good environment to operate in.” When the tax system is fixed, he explained, “all that money is going to come back to Canada.”
However, Kemper warned, none of that would happen if U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris was elected. He called Harris “just another cabal spokesperson.”
In the video, Kemper also made an appeal to Canadian government workers.
“Are you happy? Are you actually adding value? Is this what you want to do? Do you want to work for the government? There are so many other things you can do,” he said. “How can you celebrate the day that you quit working for the government?”
He ended the video with various versions of the “Make America Great Again” slogan, which regained popularity when Trump ran for president in 2016.
“Make America healthy again,” he said, while wearing a shirt with the same slogan. He was also wearing a “MAHA” hat.
“Let’s make Canada healthy again. Let’s make Canada prosperous again. Let’s make America prosperous again. Let’s make earth great again,” he said.
This isn’t the first time Kemper has spoken out about politics.
This summer, in an interview with political commentator Tucker Carlson, he criticized his half-brother, saying Trudeau should “repent” after leaving office.
In October, during a caucus meeting, Trudeau spoke about some of the criticism he had received and even referenced Kemper, CBC News reported. Trudeau said he loves his half-brother and “always will.”
“But, you know, (I) can’t have real conversations with him based on facts and reality. And that’s a real proportion of our communities, of our families, of our country that has gone that way,” said Trudeau.
