"Pharma bro" Martin Shkreli endorses Trump

Embattled former pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli endorsed Donald Trump Thursday night, saying he supports him over Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

“I haven’t been called by the Trump camp. I support him vs. Hillary,” Shkreli tweeted Thursday. “He should find a VP candidate who is seasoned in politics, an ugly game.”

The former Turing Pharmaceuticals executive became subject to national scorn after he raised the costs of a life-saving drug called Darpin by more than 5,000 percent last year, and buoyantly touted the profits on social media.

Shkreli was also arrested last December for his involvement with another drugmaker, Retrophin, which federal prosecutors said he operated like a quasi-Ponzi scheme.

1. I am sure it has nothing to do with Skreli expecting Trump will end

the prosecution against him

[Maynar]

3. Nothing to see here

Move along.

2. No surprise there.

4. Great news!

We sure don't want him. And I'm sure you guys don't either.

[JackRiddler]

10. Here I must agree.

I want him on Trump's campaign trail!

20. He can stand next to David Duke on stage,

while Ted Nugent sings the Star-spangled Banner.

21. (TOTALLY MISTAKEN POST DELETED)

[christx30]

23. You misunderstand me.

I was painting a picture of Trump's rally. I'm a Sanders supporter. Voted for him in the primary. A head injury is the only thing that would cause me to think Sanders is a racist.

[JackRiddler]

24. SORRY!!!

I misunderstood and thought this was a different thread - my mistake entirely.

5. An asshole endorsing a douchebag.

A match made in enema heaven.

[brer cat]

14. You're bad

but very funny nevertheless.

[sofa king]

6. And a wave of non-surprise and indifference washes over us....

Predators form packs, duh.

[IronLionZion]

7. If Hillary cracks down on crooks like him

and puts in some regulations on these practices, then she would earn my vote for the general election if she's the Dem nominee.

8. Simple...

Guy who doesn't give a shit about no one endorses a guy who doesn't give a shit about no one.

[Jack Rabbit]

9. Another good reason not to vote for Trump

Shkrelli so dumb that he once tried to buy Bernie Sanders. Did Shkrelli get Berned or what?

[C Moon]

11. A match made in heaven.

[jmowreader]

12. Birds of a feather

[Scientific]

13. +1

I'd hang Skuzzballi all over Trump in ads aimed at seniors who have been fleeced by him and his cronies in the drug industry.

[hobbit709]

15. Like calls to like.

[marble falls]

16. Figures ......

[smirkymonkey]

25. Ugh! What is it with Republicans and smirking?

Those faces just make me want to start punching.

[Gothmog]

17. Who is surprised by this?

[maryellen99]

18. I'm not and if Trump is elected I'm sure the charges against him would be dropped nt

[CanonRay]

19. What could be more natural

than a shit stain endorsing a turd.

[calguy]

22. Looks like Trump has locked up the SLEEZE vote.

[shanti]
