Donald Trump continued to needle the Libertarian Party as he sought their votes on Saturday, resulting in him ending his speech to very loud boos.
Trump took the stage to "thunderous" boos, and ended his speech in a similar fashion this weekend.
Trump was booed especially loudly when he called...
Not that I care, but what the fuck was your plan here? Just roasting libertarians for the fun of it?
Which to be fair, is a hobby of mine.
Right? This is a real, “the worst person you know just made a good point,” moment.
There was zero plan as usual. The thing is, imagine what’s going to happen after Trump. Imagine someone who is actually charismatic and smart in Trump’s place who tows the same basic line. That’s what really scares me
I see this sentiment often, which has afforded me the chance to reflect on it. The hypothetical smarter, shrewder, Trump-like candidate would likely hold less appeal to the party. As it stands, aspiring connivers operate under the belief that they can exert enough control to get what they want, consequences be damned. Essentially, they are gambling that they can act as the ego to his id on matters that they prioritize. A more intelligent candidate would certainly have a higher degree of agency and thus would be of less value to the manipulators. Trump, and those who resemble him, are the most dangerous sort.
This is the best answer I’ve been able to formulate as to why those who present as fools and dunces form the face of the MAGA movement. These people are useful idiots who garner support from interested parties focused on specific goals.
I really do hope you’re right
He thought he could roll in and get their endorsement over their own candidate.
Say what you want about the Librrtarians, they are not the drooling idiots of the MAGA crowd.
Yeah they’re not stupid, they’re selfish. So they’re not that different from some Republicans.
They’re not Repub-level stupid, but they do think libertarianism would work.
I mean, in a way it would be a good move for the libertarians to do something like that for a year, as getting over certain thresholds unlocks more election funding.
Then again, the libertarian party doing something to get more government funding isn’t exactly ideologically consistent.
I’m just glad the orange idiot roasted them to their face. It’s hilarious that he called out their shit electoral performance and bottom of the barrel chance at one of their own rallies.
NO plan just narcissism. He couldn’t be upstaged by the libertarian candidate…
