Former President Donald Trump made an appearance at the Libertarians’ National Convention held at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday evening, and the outcome was exactly as anticipated. Although the Republican Party and libertarians share certain beliefs, they also possess a plethora of disparities.
Trump joked how “In the last year, I’ve been indicted by the government on 91 different things. So if I wasn’t a libertarian before, I sure as hell am a libertarian now.”

As the surge of dissatisfaction grew, Trump retaliated against the agitated crowd by cleverly highlighting the limited accomplishments of the Libertarian Party on a national level. Boldly, he urged the audience to consider nominating him for the presidency, as reported by The New York Times.
“If you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3 percent every four years,” he said.
