Martin Shkreli: No, I’m Not Actually Endorsing Trump
A few days ago, infamous “pharma bro” Martin Shkreli got media attention for a supposed endorsement of Donald Trump. Based on some of those tweets, it seemed like he was clearly kidding, but apparently things boiled over so much that Shkreli had to take to Twitter today to make it clear that no, he’s not endorsing Trump:
that was the idea. it was like an ironic joke thing. https://t.co/S8gCTlxnjW

I like humor that makes you think. Or in the case of media, not think and publish whatever you want. I would never vote for Trump.

If someone put a gun to my head and made me vote, I would vote Trump over Hillary. This year I am abstaining in protest of crap candidates.

If you think thats an endorsement, knock yourself out. Write a story bout how most hated guy (who can't find someone who hates him) likes DT

“Crap candidates.” So it’s safe to say that Shkreli, with his “gun to my head” approach to choosing Trump over Hillary Clinton, is in the same position as many in the GOP right now…
It’s worth noting here that when everyone was piling on Shkreli for raising the price of the drug Daraprim, Trump joined in and said, of Shkreli, “He looks like a spoiled brat to me. You want to know the truth? He looks like a spoiled brat.”
