Everybody’s least favorite Pharma Douche, Martin Shkreli, is clinging to his fifteen minutes of fame by continuing to share his opinions with the world over on Twitter. Yesterday he decided it was time to bless the plebeians with his 2016 Presidential Candidate endorsement. After tossing out his endorsement to his Twitter followers he then got trolled pretty hard by a fake account.
Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government.

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

So he says he hasn’t been called, but when an obviously fake Twitter account reaches out he has no idea what’s going on, then threatens to sue, and he still doesn’t realize that he’s talking to a fake Trump account:

no. copay of $1k would be extremely rare (no dif from other rare drugs) & our copay program reduces copay to $10-$20 https://t.co/ziT4mC37mC

I didn’t really think that the Pharma Douche endorsing a candidate was news, but I did think it was pretty great how quickly he fell into the trap of a fake account. And I don’t think that his choice of candidate is even central to this story, because I don’t give one flying fuck about who Martin Shkreli is voting for, everyone’s entitled to their votes and opinions. I just think it’s comical that this dude is trying so hard to make himself relevant, and even refers to himself as a ‘celebrity’ in one of his tweets…It’s just sad.
Last but not least, a picture that’s been making the rounds for quite some time:
