Brilliant move.

“Libertarians are some of the most independent and thoughtful thinkers in our Country, and I am honored to join them in Washington, DC, later this month,” Trump said in a statement issued Wednesday. “We must all work together to help advance freedom and liberty for every American, and a second Trump Administration will achieve that goal.”

Here's the rest of his statement:

“If Libertarians join me and the Republican Party, where we have many Libertarian views, the election won’t even be close. We cannot have another four years of death, destruction, and incompetence. WE WILL WORK TOGETHER AND WIN!”

With the way Biden and his Ilk are running this country into the ground the chant should be ANYONE BUT BIDEN.
Trump is smart to cast about for more supporters because he is going to need them to overwhelm the Democrat machine that is out to destroy him.

Hmm. Ballsy move, but I think it is the right one.

It also elevates the Libertarian party and gives them a boost.

I see absolutely no downside to this.

Libertarian party supports open borders. Not sure how Trump's statements about immigrants flies with libertarians. How Immigrants are poisoning of the blood of America, the rapist, and murders flooding in.


Libertarians believe that if someone is peaceful, they should be welcome to immigrate to the United States. Libertarians believe that people should be able to travel freely as long as they are peaceful. We welcome immigrants who come seeking a better life.

Libertarians do not support open borders, they support legal immigration, and legal visitation using Passports, Visas, & Student Visas....not the illegal hoards coming in under O'Biden.

Are libertarians pro the right to protest and say things against foreign nations?

There's a lot more than "just" supporting open borders....read the rest of their platform to see how that would work in context of all their other platform items.....no welfare system..every man for himself.

They would allow anyone who wanted to come to America a work permit as long as they are not a criminal. That is a open boarder you didn't bother to read their link. Ill just paste it here so you can read it.


Libertarians believe that people should be able to travel freely as long as they are peaceful. We welcome immigrants who come seeking a better life. The vast majority of immigrants are very peaceful and highly productive.

Indeed, the United States is a country of immigrants, of all backgrounds and walks of life…some families have just been here for more generations than others. Newcomers bring great vitality to our society.

A truly free market requires the free movement of people, not just products and ideas.

Whether they are from India or Mexico, whether they have advanced degrees or very little education, immigrants have one great thing in common: they bravely left their familiar surroundings in search of a better life. Many are fleeing extreme poverty and violence and are searching for a free and safe place to try to build their lives. We respect and admire their courage and are proud that they see the United States as a place of freedom, stability, and prosperity.

Of course, if someone has a record of violence, credible plans for violence, or acts violently, then Libertarians support blocking their entry, deporting, and/or prosecuting and imprisoning them, depending on the offense.

Libertarians do not support classifying undocumented immigrants as criminals. Our current immigration system is an embarrassment. People who would like to follow the legal procedures are unable to because these procedures are so complex and expensive and lengthy. If Americans want immigrants to enter through legal channels, we need to make those channels fair, reasonable, and accessible.


Sounds lot like what Democrats want.
