Last night at the Washington Hilton, DONALD TRUMP addressed an audience that was rowdy -- but not for the reasons he's accustomed to.
They weren't the MAGA faithful.
Heck, they weren't even Republicans.
They were there for the Libertarian Party's national convention.
And many of them were decidedly not on board with the former president's entreaties that they join with him to defeat JOE BIDEN.
By and large, they don't see him as an ally to their cause.
And Trump didn't exactly handle it diplomatically
"Within minutes of beginning speaking -- and after enduring sustained jeering and boos -- the former president turned on the third party, mocking it's poor electoral record in presidential elections even as he appealed to them for their endorsement," writes Brittany Gibson and Peder Schaefer.
"What's the purpose of the Libertarian Party....getting 3 percent?"
Trump asked the crowd, which proceeded to pelt him with jeers.
"You should nominate Trump for president only if you want to win."
