Trump brags about 'enthusiasm of the crowd' after being booed off stage at convention
Donald Trump on Sunday said that he would have won the Libertarian nomination "if he wanted it," after being booed off stage and getting only six votes in the contest.
Trump begged for the Libertarian nomination at the Libertarian National Convention, and then became hostile when they booed him. He took the stage to boos, and was booed as he walked away from the podium, too.
After that spectacle, the Trump got only six write-in votes.

Trump attempted to spin the news on Sunday. He took to Truth Social and proclaimed that he didn't want the party's nomination, despite asking for it numerous times the night before.
"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," Trump wrote. "Regardless, I believe I will get a Majority of the Libertarian Votes."
Trump then turned to independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who beat Trump's number of write-in votes in the contest.
"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," the ex-president said. "He’s not a Libertarian. Only a FOOL would vote for him!"
