Libertarianism is actually a pretty big tent. I 100% get why some will and are supporting Trump. At worst it is defensive. He's worse than the other side is the most simple explanation. I don't vote but I get why some do. I also understand why people calling themselves libertarian would refuse to vote for Trump. Some will vote for the Libertarian party candidate. Some are anarchists. Some are minarchists and are therefore statists. They support a night-watchman state. Ron Paul is in the category.

The fact that so many people get all worked up about anyone possibly finding anything positive about Trump is really interesting to watch. I do not trust him or his team. In the end, to me the much bigger problem is that so many focus on the government as the solution to their person problems. This includes libertarians.

I get it to some extent. The state really went after individuals hard in the US during the pandemic. This is a big reason why so many are behind Trump. They see him as the only option to stop the system or at least slow it. If he wins I hope he does some good. Not hopeful but I've been wrong before.
