During a recent campaign event in Waukesha, Wisconsin, which was centered around law enforcement and peace at universities amid anti-Israel protests, former President Donald Trump adeptly handled a heckler, turning the situation into a moment of unity and patriotism among his supporters. The crowd broke into chants of “USA! USA!” after the heckler began shouting while Trump was praising the arrest of demonstrators at university protests. It is unclear if the heckler was protesting Trump’s specific comments or simply expressing general disapproval of the former president.
Trump’s response to the heckler included light-hearted remarks: “Go home to mom, right? Go home to your mom,” and “Say hello to mother. Oh, she’s gonna be angry. Because she’s watching right now on television. She’s watching on television. She’s saying, ‘That’s my son.’” This exchange further energized the audience, drawing laughter and applause.

Trump also humorously predicted how the media would cover the incident, suggesting they would describe the event as “pandemonium,” despite it being an interaction with just one heckler, who was quickly drowned out by supporters.
In an interesting political twist, the Libertarian Party announced that Trump will be speaking at their national convention in Washington, D.C., scheduled for later this month. His appearance on May 25 is eagerly anticipated by both Trump and the Libertarian Party, with expectations of addressing concerns from Libertarian members and possibly influencing their policy positions.
The Libertarian Party is enthusiastic about Trump’s participation, viewing it as a significant opportunity to amplify their message of liberty. LP Chairwoman Angela McArdle remarked, “For 50 years, we’ve been trying to get our candidates on the main stage with major party POTUS candidates and we’ve finally succeeded in bringing one to our stage.”
Trump expressed his honor at being invited to address the convention, recognizing the Libertarians as “some of the most independent and thoughtful thinkers in our Country.” He emphasized the importance of unity in promoting freedom and liberty to defeat Joe Biden in the forthcoming elections, saying, “We must all work together to help advance freedom and liberty for every American, and a second Trump Administration will achieve that goal.”
The theme of the 2024 Libertarian National Convention, “Become Ungovernable,” is intended to challenge governmental overreach. The convention will focus on issues like confinement, indoctrination, deception, and forced inoculations, aiming to reclaim basic rights and freedoms. It is set to feature a lineup of prominent speakers, activists, and thinkers, ultimately setting the stage for the selection of the Libertarian presidential candidate for the 2024 election.
