Trump Relentlessly Booed...
...tonight at the Libertarian National Convention. The Trump campaign tried to astroturf in his cultists to occupy the first few rows of the room -- just like he used non-union workers to pose as union autoworkers in MI and non-Bronx people who were turfed into the Bronx -- but the cultists were rousted by actual Libertarians who weren't putting up with the nonsense.
TRUMP: "The Libertarian party should nominate Trump for president of the United States."
AUDIENCE: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
TRUMP: "Whoa. That's nice."
AUDIENCE: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
TRUMP: "That's nice. Only if you want to win. Maybe you don't want to win."
AUDIENCE: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
TRUMP: "Maybe you don't want to win. Only do that if you want to win. If you want to lose, don't do that."
AUDIENCE: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
TRUMP: "Keep getting your 3% every four years."
AUDIENCE: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The audience booed Trump constantly and mercilessly. Any event where he cannot control the audience ends badly for him.
The only applause he received was when he promised he would commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht, who trafficked narcotics to over 100,000 buyers and was convicted at trial of 7 counts of distributing narcotics and was sentenced to two life sentences without the possibility of parole. The Supreme Court refused to hear his final appeal in 2018.
The law and order candidate, amirite?
Trump could've pardoned Ulbricht during any of his four years as president, but choose not to. But now that he's pandering to anyone and everyone for votes, there's nothing he won't promise.
Trump even promised to fill a cabinet position with a Libertarian and they booed him because they smelled his bullsh!t.
The best part of his speech was when the crowd chanted "hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite!" and Trump could do nothing but stand there glaring at the audience.
