How many lives were lost while Trump prevaricated, calculated, trivialized, lied, and misled? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens or hundreds of thousands? Does he explain? Does he apologize? Does he promise to improve? Of course not. We who suffered infection and loss are of no interest to him. Hevhas no compassion, no empathy, no conscience. He facilitated a pandemic, but he is the sickest among us.
“… WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) – Presidential candidate Donald Trump was booed and heckled by many in a raucous audience at the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday night, a marked change from the adulation he receives at rallies from his fervently loyal supporters.
Libertarians, who believe in limited government and individual freedom, blame Trump, a Republican, for rushing through the creation of a COVID-19 vaccine when he was president and for not doing more to stop public health restrictions on the unvaccinated during the pandemic.
When Trump took to the stage in Washington, there were loud boos and jeers. A smaller section of the crowd, Trump supporters, cheered him.
Shortly before he appeared, one Libertarian Party member shouted: “Donald Trump should have taken a bullet!” …" — reuters .com/world/us/trump-booed-heckled-by-raucous-crowd-libertarian-convention-2024-05-26
Although I disagree with libertarians on almost everything, I must say I respect their courage to boo the orange baboon out of the convention hall and to nominate a homosexual as their candidate for the presidency.
I don’t blame anyone for their stupid responses to Covid. It was unavoidable ignorance. Stupidity and hysteria were wide-spread and included both parties.
I blame those who created and facilitated the creation of Covid and then tried to hide their actions.
I blame the press for fanning the flames of hysteria and those who manipulated the press to suppress any effort to balanced reporting of accurate information.
Why are so many unable to put the responsibility for COVID where it really belongs? China. Chine who lied about the wet markets, covered up for the Wuhan Lab, and refused to release the formula of their vaccine. Perhaps foolishly, Trump followed the advice of Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx. He was poo pooed by the medical profession for even suggesting alternate preventive medicines later promoted in the Great Barrington declation. Many claimed the COVID relief money he provided was inflationary but took the money anyway. The world knew so little about COVID and how to prevent it. Not everything is Trump’s fault.
Trump sends ‘Happy Memorial Day’ message to ‘human scum’ judges trying his casesFormer President Donald Trump used a “Happy Memorial Day” message to attack judges and other “human scum” who are working on the legal cases against him.
Libertarianism is for suckers and fools, so of course the invited their hero Traitor Trump. Interesting he received any boos, as David Duke, the KKK leader and Nazi, ran as a Libertarian a long time ago.
Don’t want to pay taxes? Great. Stay off the roads, don’t call the police or fire department ever, pay full price for your children’s education, your families healthcare, etc, etc, etc…

For those who really care about limited government, debt and spending, neither major party is a shining example to follow.

I find it amazing that Trump Libertarians would actually support him. I’ll give them credit it though. They showed their disapproval very well. KUDOS!

IINM, they were booing him because he didn’t keep his promise to pardon the guy who ran the Silk Road drug website.
Oh, and “no wannabe dictators.”

I listened again to his speech. The booing seemed to come when he mentioned Joe Biden and his policies. I thought he had a good reception there.

I loved how his petulant fat as got all pouty when the crowd kept booing him. They were booing him relentlessly.
“We must stand together.” "BOOOOO!”“I want lots of libertarian votes.” "BOOOOO!” "BOOOOOOOOO!”
Then trump was like, “oh yeah??!! Keep getting three per cent every four years!”
“BOOOOOOOOO!”

Trump’s whole schtick has been authoritarianism. I have no idea why he thinks that’s supposed to appeal to libertarians.
