“The reason I didn’t file paperwork for the Libertarian Nomination, which I would have absolutely gotten if I wanted it (as everyone could tell by the enthusiasm of the Crowd last night!), was the fact that, as the Republican Nominee, I am not allowed to have the Nomination of another Party. Regardless, I believe I will get a Majority of the Libertarian Votes. Junior’ Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat, who’s destroyed everything he’s touched, especially in New York and New England, and in particular, as it relates to the Cost and Practicality of Energy. He’s not a Libertarian. Only a FOOL would vote for him!” – Trump, posting to Truth Social.
NBC News reports:
The Republican National Committee did not immediately respond to a request to clarify party rules. The audience heckled Trump throughout his speech Saturday night, at times lobbing curses and insults. Trump asked multiple times for the audience to nominate him or vote for him.
The audience, however, was consistently hostile to him, especially when he suggested they support him. “I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me,” Trump said Saturday evening. The crowd booed.
There is a history of the Conservative Party of New York’s nominating Trump in 2016 and in 2020 while he maintained his GOP nomination. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request to clarify Trump’s previous dual nominations in New York.
He really is like a classic totalitarian/authoritarian dictator where he just spews one outrageous & obvious lie after another to cultists who believe everything. Things can be in writing, on video, doesn’t matter. He tells them not to believe their lying eyes & they agree. pic.twitter.com/YGmwOnIJve
