“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.

                  And here you go again, trying to pretend that I’m talking about this thread and not a broader pattern of behavior. We’re talking in circles. This conversation cannot reach a meaningful conclusion.

                  This person constantly does this. He rewrites your statements to victimize either himself or someone else. You didn’t say anything about OP, or them- and yet, you’re on the defensive against false accusations.

                  It’s their M.O.

                  Eventually, they’ll aggravate you into saying something they can report you for.
