Trump to address 'Libertarian Party concerns' at group's national convention | 1 May 2024 | Former President Donald Trump will address “Libertarian Party concerns” later this month at the group's national convention in Washington, D.C., the party announced Wednesday. "Libertarians are some of the most independent and thoughtful thinkers in our Country, and I am honored to join them," Trump, 77, said in a statement. The Libertarian Party's unprecedented decision to give the presumptive Republican nominee for president a platform at the third-party group's 2024 nominating convention will allow Trump to court voters beyond his GOP base... [CLG News founder] Michael Rectenwald, who has won two primary contests, called Trump's upcoming appearance an "opportunity" to share the stage with a major party candidate and "educate Trump on the principles of the freedom philosophy."  "[Trump derangement syndrome] is for the faint of heart," he added. The former president said he is looking forward to speaking at the convention, which will be "attended by many of my great friends."
