NEW YORK — Martin Shkreli, one of the internet's most controversial figures, has announced he is supporting presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, ABC News reports.
Shekeil is best known as the "pharma bro," and has made a name for himself as a former pharmaceutical executive who made a controversial decision to raise the price of AIDS and cancer medication by 5,000 percent at his pharmaceutical company.
According to his tweets, he said he supported Trump over Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
He pointed out that Trump's camp has not contacted him and that Trump "should find a VP candidate who is seasoned in politics, an ugly game."
The announcement is somewhat a surprise, considering Shekeil told a reporter he has "never voted and never will," during his feud with Congress.
At the time, Shekeil refused to testify before a House Oversight and Government Reform committee hearing on ''Developments in the Prescription Drug Market Oversight," in response to his hotly debated decision.
Shkreli is also known for his alleged involvement in running a Ponzi-like scheme in which he founded new companies and used the assets from them to settle debts of his earlier companies.

We will not even need to show who supports the most crooked politician of my life time if not the last 100 years! That would be the who's who of the super corrupted people!

This is how capitalism works... and your urban zoo animal buddy, socialist Obunghole won't be preaching income equality or government controlled price fixing much longer. Regardless how your heart bleeds for those with less than other.

Just remember this, racist. We aren't EQUAL. We shouldn't treat everyone EQUAL. Some people bring more to the table than others. We should never treat people equally... we should only treat people FAIRLY.

When you are a businessman, you don't follow party lines. Trump has told you all that... and you all don't quite listen. Shkleri might be a registered libtard, but he's smart enough to understand if a product is desired that much, you can and should be able to price it high enough to be filthy rich... and then wake up the next day a take some of that money and donate to the stupid party because he's a bleeding heart towards social issues.

True and yes I heard him but its always nice to rub peoples face in it that think their shit don't stink ie demoncrats! ;)
As a businessman I try not to let people know where I stand because it just pisses people off so I just smile and say you are so right! I kinda treat them like a women you are dating. Don't piss them off or you will be going home empty handed!!!!
, but he's smart enough to understand if a product is desired that much, you can and should be able to price it high enough to be filthy rich...
True but paying CEO's 10,000 times his average worker is just wrong on all levels and is tantamount to stealing via cronyism. (If people don't understand I can explain)
