REPORT: The founder of the Rent is Too Damn High Party is endorsing billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump for president.
Jimmy McMillan, an advocate for affordable housing and a Vietnam veteran, told the New York Daily News that Trump’s support for veterans outweighs any negatives.
“He’s the only one who is supporting my brother veterans, which is good enough for me,” McMillan said of the Republican presidential front-runner.
“My main concern is helping my brother veterans get help,” he added. “America needs change.”
McMillan, who also ran for president in 2012, said he wanted Trump to be his vice president at the time.
“I’ve read up a lot on him,” he said.
McMillan rose to prominence in the 2010 New York gubernatorial race, where his unusual demeanor and statements drew attention at debates. Considered a protest candidate, he garnered just under 1 percent support.
