His challenge will be the first time an incumbent president has faced a notable primary bid since George HW Bush in 1992
Mr Weld faces an uphill task - while Mr Trump's overall approval ratings have been poor, he remains popular with Republican voters.The Republican National Committee has issued a nonbinding resolution declaring the party's undivided support for Mr Trump.Mr Weld said Mr Trump had left the nation in"grave peril" and his priorities were"skewed toward promotion of himself rather than for the good of the country".
He has a reputation for cracking down on corruption, having been a counsel, along with Hillary Clinton , in the house judiciary committee during the Watergate impeachment hearings.As US Attorney for Massachusetts in the early 1980s he led a raft of anti-corruption cases before being promoted to the US Justice Department in Washington.
He remains a friend of the Clintons and endorsed Barack Obama against John McCain in 2008, although later said he regretted it. As a Libertarian, he is likely to target disaffected Republicans and independents who share his disdain for the president and his values of anti-authoritarian government, free trade and free markets, and personal freedom.
What's really hilarious is that this guy even considers himself a conservative:
Trumps Propagandists will be hard at work to smear him.
15 minutes of fame?
No chance! With a consolidated base and a soaring economy, President Donald Trump will find it somehow easy to win reelection! MAGA
Choice is healthy ! Let the competition widen!
Bill who?
No more Russia to report? Even reporting a useless RINO.

That's a whitewash then Sorry bill
Why are they both the colour of nicotine stains?

Michelle Obama says Donald Trump is like a ‘divorced dad’ making America sickThe former First Lady said she sometimes feels ‘despondent’ because the Republican is overhauling Barack’s policies and ruining his legacy. Obama is guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Technically... nvm Excellent - his legacy is shown for what is is: dropping more bombs than any president, ever. Creating huge division in the country and spying on the public and political opponents.
