“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 hard to listen to one-dimensional, naive arguments - what is there to listen to? Oh, you think 60 years of US policy supporting Israel, and Israel deciding to assault Gazans after keeping them in an apartheid ghetto for years, is 100% Joe Biden’s fault and he could just go against 95% of the US political establishment and stop it any time. This reminds me of people who act like the president directly sets gas prices. This ‘centrist’ thing is getting old, too.

      “That’s the way we’ve always done it” is the best argument you have.

      It’s pro-genocide shit.
