No matter what you think of Libertarians, they had the good sense to answer Trump’s appeal for support by saying, “I would rather eat my own foot out of a bear trap.”
His campaign team isn’t as bumbling and dumb as they were in 2016. That makes me wonder if this appearance was actually an attempt to claw back the center-right. Now Fox News can say “He’s not extreme. The libertarians didn’t like him, and they’re farther to the right.”
They’re more bumbling and dumb because since he “won” in 2016 now he doesn’t have to listen to the political consultants who would have told him ahead of time what his remarks should be. Not that he would have followed those either.
