Donald Trump receives frosty reception at Libertarian gathering

Former US president Donald Trump received a frosty reception at a major gathering of Libertarians in Washington D.C.

Libertarian voters usually lean right, but many are angry over Mr Trump’s handling of the pandemic and are supporting wildcard independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Members of the crowd heckled and booed Donald Trump while some groups turned their backs on him.

I agree that this acting ugly on the part of the libertarians is a bad reflexión on them not him. What do they think they can accomplish by giving Biden an edge?! For heavens sake, we have to unite and get rid of the mess in the White House!

[williamwilde]

Still yet he had the guts to show up and try to fix things.

[DavidG]

Yet the swing states are going Trump and he had the guts to speak to the Libertarians. West Virginia still values the many things he got right. Trump was dealing with unprecedented event and to rely on the advice of “experts “

[dorianshadesofgray]

This was more of a poor reflection on how feral the libertarian party is rather than on Donald trump

[eddoney]

He knew there would be haters. He also knows RFK Jr isn't a Libertarian. Incredibly smart move.

[RJDA.Dakota]

Kennedy is even farther left than JB. NO to Kennedy and especially NO to FJB.

[polarfamily]

He didn't run away or hide like Brandon. He went into a forum that didn't like him for what are stupid reasons. This shows he's tough and able to deal with negative situations unlike Biden who's default is to insult people and run.

[anglosaxon]

They are only 3% so no biggie for Donald.
I'm a libertarian myself, but you don't get changes if you act like this.
Trump should do like what Argentine's Milei has done: Getting rid of all woke departments of government etc.
Edit: And Trump went on the advice [by traitors] he got at the time, but now has learned he cannot trust them: 'doctors'/'scientists'.

[SOz-ufyq]

No matter who runs, Come 5th of Novermber BIG-LANDSLIDE .
Trumps popularity is growing each day > Trump 2024 <

[alphabet]

Goes to show how bad the Libertarian party is.

[nickc.]

@sky news 270 plus 270 makes 540 if you're going to report about American politics do it correctly. Only one candidate can achieve 270 or more and West Virginia has only 4 electoral votes. RFK would need more momentum then what he is currently showing.

[DDJReacts]

President Trump can go anywhere in the world, Boo’d or Cheers. He know what and how to bring the Crowd to him. That’s The President We All Voted For in 2020!

[kathrynbraun]

Kennedy describes himself as, “progressive”—how does that line up with libertarians?!

[clarifyingquestions]

Oh pls JFK is a DEMOCRAT - lifer not even close to a Libertarian.

[romelleabdulaleem]

I agree with most of those points but I'm still voting Trump because of the big picture.
Libertarians need to wake up and do the same.
Trump said many times that he didn't support the vaccine mandates. He did try to get the country back to work as fast as he could.

[JHKPS]

1 dude has trolled the entire comments section, the desperation is skyrocketing

[saran.]

Trump got cheers too and the other speakers were also booed. Be honest, Sky News.

[kevenmcginn]

WRONG, Sky News! 👎! The Lion knew he was walking into a den of laughing hyenas.

[RitaDoss-qxlz]

Republic definitely for sure Trump president USA America 💯

[debbiebarrie]

I listened to his speech, and he got as many cheers as boos ...
RFK might have screwed himself by siding with VERY LATE TERM ABORTION views.
Libertarians are very conservative and late term abortion, up to birth, is something most conservative voters won't vote for.
