Donald Trump Was Booed at the Libertarian Convention

At the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C., former President Donald Trump faced a hostile reception as he sought the party’s presidential nomination. Despite offering to commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht and proposing to include libertarians in his cabinet, Trump was met with boos and heckling from the audience.

Ultimately, they nominated Chase Oliver, and they will not win an election as usual.

Donald Trump had the courage and the will to attend the Libertarian Convention. He was booed along with shouts, chanting “End the Fed.”

Good Speech by Libertarian David Smith

Libertarian David Smith gave a speech to the groups present, Trump supporters, and Libertarians. He told the Libertarians they’re not college-level sissies and should be respectful by not booing. Mr. Smith said we can handle ideas we disagree with. Smith also explained what they stand for, including no wars and no intervention in Israel or Ukraine. He then told them that Donald Trump, as President, was framed by his own deep state and those people deserve to be in jail. It is a crime against our nation that intelligence agencies framed the sitting Commander-in-Chief, and not one of them has paid for that. And that is unacceptable, he said.

They believe in America First. They don’t want any more 20 year wars. We are $34 trillion in debt.

They booed loudest when he told them they should vote for him. He promised to put a Libertarian in his Cabinet and several in senior posts and then said, “Or you can go as you’re going and get your 3%.”

Mr. Trump said much of his record is Libertarian. He mentioned his tax reductions, claiming the best economy the US has had. The former President said he ditched tax regulations, so there was little inflation, salaries rose, and mortgage rates were low.

Energy independence propelled economic growth, he said.

The audience was loud and raucous. They want much more than Donald Trump is offering, but it is hard to believe they want any of Joe Biden’s offerings. Their candidate won’t win, and we face Armageddon. Many might go for Trump.

Trump was undeterred by the booing and just spoke loudly. By the end, he appeared to win over the crowd and nearly took down the house with, “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.” The media tried to say he was mocking them by quoting Patrick Henry. Donald Trump would never mock Patrick Henry.

Those loons would have booed von Mises. I doubt if any of them have read or understood On Human Action, On Theory of Money, or his seminal works. If they had, they would know that Trump is as close to von Mises as they are far from him. I once attended several of these meetings and was appalled by what these loons thought about society. Many of them are not libertarian. They are anarchists.

The only thing people who describe themselves as “Libertarians” care about are legal drugs. They should all be shipped to Haiti.

Far from all of us, Bubba. Don’t be so quick to defame others with other views — especially since it’s a good bet you don’t know any of us.

Sir, I glory in the title Bubba. Some of the brightest people I ever met were not named Rickerby Ponserby Hackerby or Ralph. But they did know how to fix a flat and a tap, something our supposed betters cannot do.

And yes I do know these “libertarians” we all do. They are the ones who lecture us on the evils of smoking and argue for the free drugs. Never seen them protesting trannies in ladies rooms but I’ve seen them arguing for ladies hygiene dispensers in boy’s restrooms.

When I see libertarians marching as “Libertarians” in defense of the 2nd Amendment, against the Trump show trials, against the January 6th travesty, let me know will you. Till then I am sure the rest of us Bubba’s will be content to watch you sip your Moet and sneer at the proles.

Adieu, Die Fhannen Hoch Sturmbanfuhrer.

Basement Biden hid in his….basement! After the great MAGA Bronx rally, this was glorious. As Pedo Joe cowers in fear, this was a challenge Trump relishes and he emerged victorious.
