Trump goes on ego-boosting Memorial Day posting spree after Libertarian speech shambles
Former President Donald Trump went on an early morning Memorial Day posting spree in an effort to spin an appearance at the Libertarian National Convention that many considered a disaster.
Trump took to the stage Saturday and was mercilessly booed as he asked for the third party’s nomination. After that humiliation, he got only six write-in votes.
On Monday, he went on an ego-boosting spree, posting a series of articles describing his appearance as a huge success.
In seven separate posts, all placed on Truth Social within minutes of each other just after midnight, he shared praise from his followers.
“President Trump gets massive cheers before Libertarian National Convention after promising to commute Ross Ulbricht’s prison sentence,” posted ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s MAGA War room, and shared by the former president.
“Trump is on fire tonight,” he shared from another supporter, named Johnny Maga.

“Tremendous performance by Trump before a tough crowd,” wrote a user called David Marcus, again shared.
And the extremist Trump-loving activist Laura Loomer wrote, “The entire National Libertarian Convention erupted in cheers!”
The posts followed a statement Sunday night in which he tried to spin the event, claiming he never wanted the nomination anyway — despite asking for it directly.
"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 on Truth Social.
"Regardless, I believe I will get a Majority of the Libertarian Votes."
