Why did this guy even go there?
Audible boos clashed with impassioned cheers at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington DC on Saturday as former President Donald Trump took the stage before what was certainly the most skeptical if not outright hostile crowd of his bid for the White House this year.
Donald Trump was jeered multiple times within the first few minutes of his speech to a rowdy crowd of roughly a thousand people Saturday evening at the Washington Hilton, where just a few weeks ago his 2024 election opponent Joe Biden spoke at the White House Correspondent’s Association’s (WHCA) annual dinner.
The angry yells from the audience were so constant at parts that it was difficult to tell whether the crowd were booing the incumbent president Trump was rallying against, or the speaker in front of them. At other points, it was plainly obvious: a chant of “we want Trump!” was roundly drowned out by an angry response.
Another round of boos came as Mr Trump declared that he had put everything “on the line” to defend freedom. Boos, both times when Mr Trump suggested that he was a Libertarian through virtue of his criminal trials, prosecuted by the Department of Justice. More boos when the former president suggested, twice, that the Libertarian Party proper should nominate him….

Most Libertarians are creeps but seeing them boo Trump was wonderful.
Even theses assholes know a piece of shit when they see him.

The whole thing was bizarre really.
I mean what was the point of him even being there?
So he can be booed?
It was well known that a substantial number of the people there were going to do that.
I mean did they really think that those antagonistic to Trump were going to sit there calmly,listen to his well known lies and absurd proclamations and then say,”oh gee whiz I never knew how great he was,give me a red MAGA cap!”
Goofy

Somebody gets fired?
Scott P says
Agreed. Complete hubris on the part of the Trump campaign and the Republican Party. Which are one and the same now.
Scott P says
Side note: The Libertarians holding their convention on Memorial Day weekend really shows their ire toward any federal paid holidays.
jamesb says
And the US Military?
Scott P says
Turns out the Trump campaign didn’t fill oit the proper paperwork foe his name to he put forward for the Libertarian Party nomination.
That much more puzzliwhy his campaign bothered.

Somebody JUST might get fired in Trump’s handler posse…
