The self-aggrandizing “Pharma Bro” known for hiking up the price of an AIDS drug has thrown his political support behind a man with another giant ego: Donald Trump.

Martin Shkreli, the 33-year-old former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, said on Twitter Thursday that he would vote for the presumptive Republican nominee in his likely general election matchup.

“I haven't been called by the Trump camp. I support him vs. Hillary,” he said, adding that the brash billionaire should pick an experienced vice presidential candidate.

Shkreli, who is currently awaiting trial for securities fraud, said later that “all you people who don't like trump are jealous, stupid and poor! don't make me laugh!”

5. There's a new standard answer from Trump

I'm a businessman - it's what we do (to cheers from his minions, the morans)!.

All because he wanted the housing collapse so he could buy cheap. Fuck the families he and his cronies robbed with their scam plan. Dodgy Don the Con knows that only the wealthy can be great. The rest of us must cheer them on and bend over for more.
