Former President Donald Trump spoke at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.
He was welcomed to the stage by Angela McArdle, the Libertarian National Committee Chair. She said that she had also invited Joe Biden to address the Convention, but he did not accept. Of course not. Joe Biden is barely able to operate with teleprompters, he could never address a potentially hostile crowd.
Trump was willing to take on the task in the effort to reach out to libertarians. And that was quite a challenge, as some were solidly hostile, likely not happy that a candidate — other than a declared libertarian — was there. He got a fair amount of boos, but not because of anything he said. That didn’t make a lot of sense, to boo the major candidate who shows up and says he wants to listen to you.
He also didn’t make them happy when he said he wanted them to work…
