"If I wasn't a libertarian before, I'm sure as hell a libertarian now," Donald Trump tells the Libertarian National Convention, saying this is because he's been indicted by the federal government 91 times.

Trump says he's extending a hand and asking for the cooperation of the Libertarians to defeat Communism, Marxism and Biden.
"You have to combine with us," adds Trump after being interrupted by protest chants.
Crowd boos.

I don't think Donald Trump has ever heard a crowd boo and heckle him like this. He's now rushing through his teleprompter speech and not doing much ad-libbing.

Libertarian Party should nominate him as their presidential candidate "only if you want to win. Maybe you don't want to win," says Trump. Crowd boos. Trump then adds if they don't want to nominate him then they can continue to get their 3% in presidential elections.

“We have closely monitored joint military drills by the People’s Liberation Army in the Taiwan Strait and around Taiwan. We have communicated our concerns both publicly and directly.” - DoD spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder

“The PLA’s provocative activities show just how much peace and stability in the Strait matter, especially for global trade and commerce. Whenever they conduct these kinds of exercises, we gain even greater insight into how their forces operate. In fact, these activities show just how hard it would be for the PLA to successfully conduct the kind of operation they’re practicing,” says a senior US defense official.
