Conservative power broker says no to Trump

Conservative billionaire power broker Charles Koch said Monday he is not backing Donald Trump, claiming the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's principles are "antithetical" to his, reports AFP from Washington.
In an interview at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen, Colorado, Koch spoke about Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, saying: "I see two people that as of this point we're not supporting."
"If I had to vote for cancer or a heart attack why would I vote for either?" Koch said when asked if he would cast a ballot for either candidate. The decision to shun Trump could be a huge blow to Trump and the Republican Party. Specifically, Koch condemned as a "monstrosity" Trump's plan for tariffs on certain imports, saying a similar effort led to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
