The majority of libertarians have been hostile toward Mr. Trump, whose invitation to speak at the Washington Party gathering generated a great deal of rift.
While there was some cheering and chants of “USA!” when he begged for the party’s backing, the former president was heckled multiple times during his speech.
Given how elaborately planned Trump events are, which typically ensures support from his devoted followers, it was an extremely odd spectacle.
By calling President Joe Biden a “tyrant” and the “worst president in the history of the United States,” Mr. Trump attempted to win over the Libertarians, but all he got in return was yells of “That’s you.”
