Trump tries to rewrite story of Libertarian Convention after he was booed on stage

Donald Trump has been working overtime to spin a new story about what happened at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington DC, after being loudly booed and jeered by the audience.

The Republican presidential contender confidently told the crowd at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night that “the Libertarian Party should nominate Trump for president,” only for howls of derision to ring out.

“That’s nice,” Mr Trump retaliated sarcastically, with a rictus grin.
