The speech has been a disaster. Trump is so used to being inside his MAGA bubble that he never bothered to come up with anything new to offer the Libertarians to get this support. He came at them with the same old MAGA. While he did draw applause at some points, the Libertarian convention was not the lovefest that a typical Trump rally is.
What was most telling about Donald Trump in this environment is that he can no longer think on his feet and improvise. Trump is welded to his teleprompter, and he is so deluded as to think that everyone loves him that he doesn’t seem to know what to do when facing real audience rejection.
Instead of revealing his strength, the Libertarian Convention was another self-inflicted wound by Trump that revealed his weakness.
