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: Trump.
Martin Shkreli, the 33-year-old former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, said on Twitter that he would vote for the Republican.
“I support him,” he said. The conversation early Friday saw the embattled entrepreneur emulating his preferred candidate by showing a love of attention and speaking off the cuff.
“I’m always cheering for a huge recession, global mayhem,” he said.
Shkreli is currently awaiting trial for securities fraud.
It remains to be seen how Trump will react to Shkreli’s support, as the real estate tycoon previously called him “a spoiled brat.”
“That guy is nothing. He’s zero. He’s nothing. He ought to be ashamed of himself,” the candidate said in September.
