Former President Donald Trump was loudly and consistently booed throughout his speech Saturday at the Libertarian Party’s national convention, particularly when he asked attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me.”

“Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” Trump said. “Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it’s very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history.”

Trump added, “Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years.” (In 2016, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson earned more than 3% of the popular vote – a high point in the party’s history.)

Trump left the stage after 34 minutes, marking one of his shortest campaign speeches to date. The Libertarian Party is expected to select its presidential nominee Sunday.

    It’s all an act. Libertarians are just Republicans who don’t want to admit it. They’ll boo him publicly, but they will vote for him

      He isn’t wrong As a libertarian conservative I vote Republican because I don’t want to waste my vote on candidates who have no chance…and hell will freeze over before I’ll support the totalitarian minded socialist party that the Democrats have warped into!

      Ding ding ding.
