WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump spent his weekend proposing “a partnership” with the Libertarian Party, but early indications suggest it won’t be a close friendship.
Libertarians attending their convention in Washington booed and hooted at Trump, even as he pledged to pursue policies limiting the federal government and argued that supporting third parties could undermine common efforts to unseat President Joe Biden.
“Combine with us – you have to combine with us,” Trump said at one point, drawing objections from many of the 1,500 Libertarians gathered in a hotel ballroom in the nation’s capital.
