Undeterred, Trump poked fun at the crowd, saying if they did not back him, they would continue to garner just a tiny portion of voter support in national elections.

Trump is showing how tough he is, follows up gutsy Bronx rally appearance with raucous first ever appearance by a president at Libertarian Convention
Trump did great in the Bronx, attracting mostly minorities, and held his own in front of the Libertarians, telling them repeatedly to stop settling for being national losers and to endorse him.
Drudge thinks Trump lost control, but the video showed no such thing. Trump did great in front of a very hostile audience deeply divided amongst themselves.
They didn't like RFK Jr either, like that's news. Libertarians hate everybody and can hardly agree about anything.
And they would have eaten Joe Biden alive, but not Donald Trump.
See for yourself.

Critic of McDonald's food dies of cancer aged 53, Wisconsin man aged 70 still eats a Big Mac every day and has since 1972
Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, who skewered fast food industry, dies at 53
Spurlock made a splash in 2004 with his groundbreaking film “Super Size Me,” which was nominated for an Academy Award. The film chronicled the detrimental physical and psychological effects of Spurlock eating only McDonald’s food for 30 days. He gained about 25 pounds, saw a spike in his cholesterol and lost his sex drive. ... He returned in 2019 with “Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!”
Wisconsin man's lifetime Big Mac consumption hits 34,128

Why Joe Biden's release of 1 million gallons of gasoline to reduce prices is ridiculous
Americans used 376 million gallons of gasoline PER DAY last year.
What this country most needs
From The Last of Menckenians here:
What interests me most is the historical example of Mencken: once, in the United States, a writer shunned dogmatic responses, pushing readers to think more shrewdly and to challenge even themselves, and readers turned to him. So I’m glad for the continued publication of Menckeniana and for the Mencken Society no matter how small its membership. The society’s work reminds me that this country and its democracy require that, in every era, a writer step up and think skeptically in the best sense, to seek favor with no one, to accept being wrong in pursuit of truth, and to do so with wit and whatever in that moment constitutes eloquence.
The best thing about James Piereson's review of Jacob Heilbrunn's book attacking Trump is that Heilbrunn was instrumental in elevating Trump in the first place
Here:
It is strange, then, in light of this background, for Heilbrunn to waste reams of paper attacking conservatives for supporting Donald Trump and his ideas about Russia, when he was as instrumental as anyone in promoting them. There were few conservatives in Trump’s corner at that time; indeed, most supported Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or Jeb Bush while keeping a safe distance from a candidate whom they judged to be incapable of winning a national election and whose views on foreign policy they generally rejected. Yet there was Heilbrunn, providing a platform for Trump’s speech while sitting attentively nearby as he delivered it.

Dershowitz: Judge Juan Merchan in Trump trial is totally biased against Trump and is out to get him, but there are no TV cameras to show it
He seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every turn. Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense, while including irrelevant evidence offered by the prosecution. ...
I observed one of the most remarkable wrong-headed biases I have ever seen. The judge actually threatened to strike all of Costello’s testimony if he raised his eyebrows again. That of course would have been unconstitutional because it would have denied the defendant his Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses and to raise a defense. It would have punished the defendant for something a witness was accused of doing. Even if what Costello did was wrong, and it was not, it would be utterly improper and unlawful to strike his testimony — testimony that undercut and contradicted the government’s star witness. The judge’s threat was absolutely outrageous, unethical, unlawful and petty. ...
I am one of the few witnesses to his improper conduct who remained behind to observe his deep failings.
