Boos rain down on Trump after he is announced at the Libertarian National Convention. They're so loud you can barely hear his walk-on music.

1. They hate tRump dont they

[wnylib]

2. ?? I heard a mix of boos and whistling cheers.

Would like to see what the signs say that people are holding up.

[Attilatheblond]

6. There are some MAGA party crashers in the hall n/t

[wnylib]

8. I thought that might be the case.

Trump's ego would not let him appear without some guaranteed supporters in the audience.

3. While Libertarians might not like much about Biden, perhaps things like environmental regulations and higher taxes...

…on the rich are preferable to, say, fascist dictatorship.

I wonder what possessed Trump to even show up there. Expected more Rand Paul fake Libertarians, perhaps?

[PatSeg]

5. I was wondering the same thing

What was he expecting?

[aggiesal]

7. The Libertarian leadership are MAGA Trumpers ...

They're trying to deliver the Libertarian vote to Trump.
The hardcore Libertarian hates Trump and they want their own nominee, not a Trump nomination.

17. Maybe he just doggedly believes in his own PR.

He surrounds himself with worshippers. And BIG crowds with all those arms reaching up to hold up their camera phones to take photos of him onstage.

And the crowds ARE big - as long as you don't show a wide shot or an aerial view. It works just fine if you're positioned behind the first four rows...

4. Most Libertarians I've met have impressed me as smug a-holes.

But credit where credit is due: They know shit when they smell it.

9. Chickensh*t

[Old Crank]

10. Did he steal the use

Of his waddle on music this time also?

[Warpy]

11. Sounds like he brought his claque along

Who told him it was a good idea to crash a rival political party's convention?

12. Wish those clips were a little longer, esp the 2nd one.

13. Why does the chyron say "President Trump"?

He's not the president at the moment. I don't mind, "Ex-president Trump" or "former president Trump". But he's not "President Trump" at the moment.

And with all my heart and will, he won't be "President Trump" ever again.

14. RSBN is a right-wing media outlet

They all seem to do it.

[Lucky Luciano]

16. Ex presidents are often still referred to with the "President" honorific.

President Carter, Clinton, Obama too

Edit to point out that fuckface should be an exception to this rule.

15. "Gee. That went well." "Shaddup Eric. Where's Junior, I want to choke him."
