Within minutes of beginning speaking — and after enduring sustained jeering and boos — the former president turned on th politico.com/news/2024/05/2…

@daveweigel @RyanGirdusky LP ideologues are mostly anarchists, unlike non-aligned pragmatic libertarians, of which Milton Friedman, Tom Sowell and Peter Thiel are representative.

Former Pres. Donald Trump will be speaking at the Libertarian convention today.

@Gustakook As you may have noticed, I am occasionally critical of Trump and other Republicans.

@David_Boaz Whoa boy - if you like your every movement, thought, and speech regulated, vote GOP.
