“I’m asking for the Libertarian Party’s endorsement, or at least lots of your votes … based on my four year, very outstanding presidential record,” he said.
WASHINGTON—Former President Donald Trump asked for the Libertarian Party’s endorsement for the presidency during their convention on May 25.
“I’m asking for the Libertarian Party’s endorsement, or at least lots of your votes … based on my four year, very outstanding presidential record,” President Trump said.
The remark was met with a mix of cheers and jeers from the divided crowd.
Meanwhile, President Trump emphasized his libertarian record, emphasizing areas where he reduced the size of the federal government, his non-interventionist approach to geopolitics, and his tax and regulation cuts.
“There are many things we did that are quite libertarian,” President Trump said.
He vowed to continue taking on the federal bureaucracy, noted his ongoing criminal cases which he said represent a political attack on him by President Joe Biden, and cited his foreign and economic policies, which generally align with those held by libertarians.
