Donald Trump ‘doesn’t know’ what Libertarian means

Curtin University Dean of Global Futures Joe Siracusa says former US president Donald Trump “doesn’t know” what Libertarian means.

Mr Siracusa’s comments come as the former president claimed he was now a Libertarian.

“I would bet the mortgage that Donald Trump not only can't he spell Libertarian, he doesn’t know what it means,” Mr Siracusa told Sky News Australia.

“Donald Trump wouldn’t know what he was getting into.”

Trump told it like it is - get your 3% every 4 years or vote for him. TBO the libertarian party is like a fraternity that gets together to drink and tell the best lies. Trumps message: shit or get off the pot...

They were cheering for him before he left.

Reached across to listen, he got a lot of cheers too. Especially when he talked about no central bank and crypto.

And he handled it well, he knew what he was going into and still did it.

Isn't that the lady who sends out fines for library book late returns?

LOL Have a look at Joes speech at the Morehouse College! Very uplifting! The key words he used was, death, more death and last but not least death.

[sandorrubane]

The man's pretty bold. I'll give him that. And he didn't make a terrible argument for their votes. No doubt he'll pick up some votes from the Libertarians for his efforts and he'll see it as a good day at the office!

Not stopping restrictions? Those only came in 2021 AFTER he left

[ORANGERAPIST]

Well that would explain why he didn’t get the response he thought he would

[TRWA]

Sky News should be able to do better than wheel out this half-dead old academic.

[Superham]

Why did you refer to the predictable boos he got at the beginning of his speech, but ignore the transformation into massive cheers he was getting towards the end ?

[Ineden]

The dude who stated that T forgot to fill out the paperwork misspoke. T can’t be on the ballot in more than one category in many states. He went because he could and, while there, he may pick up some votes. He’s one who will speak before even partially friendly audiences.

Trump walked into the wolf den, and came out.. LEADING THE PACK. !!!!

[Diponty]

A bit of a contrast to Joe's appearances at rallies etc. UNO where he stands in front of dozens of Jeeps and they honk the horn when he says things like, Built Backwaters Better. Or you know the thing!

[XrayMikeplus]

Did Trump expect to be 'nominated for president' by libartarians? Hell no! He did it to show he'll reach out to anyone who cares about our country. Or maybe he made a bet...

[MaryTruth]

I value what the reporter and Joe say because???

[whiskeygamer]

Libertarians always like moving the Goal Post😂😂

[danielmahon]

It was a mixed reception, props to him for attending and speaking, conversation is good.

[mychannel]

By not showing the whole of Donald Trumps speech. Could that classed as misinformation

[dorianshadesofgray]

This is a reflection of how feral The libertarian party is and their behaviour will embarrass anyone claiming to be libertarian.

🤔 Trump has always been a supporter of less government. What's the issue?
