There were some cheers, but louder boos, as Donald Trump stepped on stage at the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday.
Even before Trump arrived at the political convention in Washington, D.C., there were numerous Libertarian delegates booing when his name was even mentioned. One crowd member even yelled out that the former president "should have taken a bullet."
Trump supporters sought to blunt that effect as Trump took the stage by claiming a prominent presence in the room before Libertarians arrived, but they melted down after they were displaced as their Libertarian hosts requested front-row seats.

As a result of all this conflict, there were some very loud boos as Trump took stage.
"Wow. Thunderous boos for Trump at the Libertarian Party convention," Conservative Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein said on Saturday. "I think it’s safe to say the libertarians are voting for RKF (sic) Jr."
Journalist Aaron Rupar said, "Damn! Trump is getting booed at the Libertarian convention."
