Former President Donald Trump faced a hostile reception at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C. on May 26, 2024.

Attendees booed and heckled Trump during his speech.

Trump announced plans to commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht, the operator of the 'Silk Road' website, if elected.

Ulbricht, serving a life sentence for his involvement in the online drug-selling site, received support from many libertarians at the convention.

Trump did not submit the necessary paperwork for the Libertarian Party's nomination, emphasizing his alignment with the Republican Party.

Tensions ran high throughout the night, despite Trump's positive stance on cryptocurrency and push for U.S. leadership in the industry.

Trump's failure to win over the Libertarian crowd may impact his potential electoral success.
