00:00 At the
00:24 Libertarian National Convention on Saturday night, May 25, presidential candidate Donald
00:31 Trump faced an unexpectedly hostile reception. Trump was met with boos and heckles from the
00:39 raucous audience as he took to the stage in Washington. Libertarians, known for their
00:46 belief in limited government and individual freedom, expressed their discontent with Trump,
00:52 a Republican, for his role in the rapid creation of the COVID-19 vaccine during his presidency.
01:00 As Trump approached the microphone, loud jeers filled the room. A smaller section of its
01:07 supporters attempted to cheer, but their voices were drowned out by the overwhelming disapproval.
01:14 Tensions reached a boiling point when one Libertarian party member shouted,
01:19 "Donald Trump should have taken a bullet," a stark and shocking emotion
01:25 and moment that underscored the intensity of the crowd's emotions.
01:29 However, Trump, ever a showman, quickly pivoted to his usual talking points.
01:57 He referenced the 88 felony charges he faces in four federal and state prosecutions, quipping,
02:04 "If I wasn't a Libertarian, I am now." Trump seized the opportunity to denounce the
02:11 administration of President Joe Biden, labeling Biden and his fellow Democrats as part of a rise
02:18 in left-wing fascism. He appealed to Libertarians, urging them to unite with him to defeat Biden in
02:26 the November 5 election. Despite his attempts, Trump's plea was met with a mixture of boos and
02:32 applause. The Libertarian party, which garnered only 1.2
02:55 percent of the national vote in 2020, could play a crucial role in a closely-fought election.
03:02 Trump is seeking to peel away some of that Libertarian support, knowing that November's
03:08 election could be decided by a slim margin in key battleground states.
03:14 Libertarian party organizers mentioned that President Biden was also invited to speak at
03:20 the convention but declined to attend. To rally the crowd, Trump went on to assert that he was
03:27 a Libertarian without even trying to be one, and suggested that the Libertarian party should endorse
03:34 him. However, his suggestion was met with even louder boos and jeers. Trump's appearance at the
03:42 Libertarian National Convention was a dramatic and tumultuous event, highlighting the deep
03:48 divisions and strong emotions within the political landscape as the 2024 election approaches.
03:55 Whether Trump's efforts will win over any Libertarian voters remains to be seen.
04:01 - And again, you can either nominate us and put us in the position or give us your votes.
04:09 I would say nominate or give us your votes, but we want Libertarian votes because you stand for
04:18 what we stand for and don't waste a vote. And don't allow the worst president in the history
04:26 of our country to come back and do the final destruction of America. Thank you very much,
04:32 everybody. God bless you. God bless you. - Subscribe to One India channel and never miss an update.
