I just love that these fuckin clowns thought they were going to be embraced by the libertarian party, the party of vermin supreme, the party who famously booed their presidential candidate (Gary Johnson) for saying he felt that driver’s licenses were a reasonable regulation. There’s not a single political party in the US that’s more contentious, purity-tested, and just downright difficult on purpose than the LP. Most people who know a libertarian really know an embarrassed republican, not a true believer like these folks. Folks, people at the event that Trump and Kennedy showed up to were handing out rubber chickens to harass and heckle the candidates as they spoke, and forced the secret service to go around confiscating rubber chickens. Biden was honestly smart to leave the LP on read when they invited him, nothing good could have possibly come from it, but these two fuckin dorks, especially Trump, thought it would be great because they didn’t do twenty seconds of homework. “Hmm, let me look at the Libertarian Presidential debates on YouTube” should have been enough to make them go “nah, dawg, I’m out, here’s a canned letter, please vote for me, bye”.
So, Trump got (rightfully) heckled by the people at that event, because the true believers hate authority and aren’t about that Christian Fascism shit. Trump’s used to hecklers, but he’s also used to the crowd shouting them down for him, not the whole ass crowd clowning on him with rubber chickens. IIRC, he ended up just walking off stage once it was clear that the libertarians were just there to dunk on him. It’s not a good look for dear leader that he couldn’t put the most contentious people in American politics under his spell, and anyone who points out that the emperor is naked in Trump land gets the window, so they’re just going to lie their asses off about it.

Technically, Johnson was not yet their candidate. That claim was made during a primary debate. He would go on to be the nominee though
This is true; I chose brevity over total accuracy in this case.
