The libertarian party is notorious for not being able to get a coherent platform together. This speech took place under a huge banner that read “become ungovernable”. Expecting to get any kind of united political action together with a group of people who see that as primary is never going to be a workable political strategy. Not even criticizing, just pointing it out. Extremely interesting that Trump spoke to them.
And this is the Libertarians' value proposition. They are not a party constructed to lead; they are not a party designed to govern. If their leadership were crafty, they would start by securing seats on school boards and become city aldermen. Then county govt. Then move up, maybe get a state rep or two, a state senator, a governor, and on up the line. Instead, they always try only the one single tactic they have, which has never worked and can never work: Running only for president, getting a crappy 3% or so, and then slinking off into the shadows for another four years.
Libertarians (uppercase L) are not suited to govern: Taken to its logical extreme, we would need virtually no govt if everyone were ideally libertarian.
This is a party best suited to critique and complain about how the ruling party is doing things, ruining govt., growing it too large, oppressing the people, infringing on personal freedoms, etc.
Trump has balls of concrete to stand before their national convention and exhort them to vote for him instead of their actual candidate (to be fair, a literal face-diapering, antisocial-distancing, commie faggot).

I guess it's kind of hard to make a platform when your only policy goal is to let everyone do their own thing and reap their own rewards or suffer the consequences of their own failures.
Actually there's solid policies that could be made from that, like end corporate welfare, lower corporate taxes, lower income taxes, claw back from the welfare state, etc.
The problem is the Libertarians in Washington are likely as corrupt as the DNC, RNC, and the "Think" Tanks that work with them, they've just never gotten to a size to demonstrate it. Just more grifters.

Correct, they just run a muck.
Your comment made me think of "Moe, Larry, the cheese". IYKYK
