Amen. Not a single untruth there.
The least successful businessman (we use business person these days) is a weak point because Hilary isn't a business person. The fact that we can name Trump means he is more successful compared to most. Libertarian doesn't mean privacy. Lawsuits are part of his speech.
Politics is business by other means.

The Libertarian platform literally has a section saying, “Libertarians advocate individual privacy and government transparency.” I am not sure where you got the confidence that it does not mean this, can you elaborate?
Believes fiercely in free speech, but bankrolls an entire lawsuit to get revenge on a press publication that outs him.
Goes on and on about being a libertarian but his company, Palantir, is just about the worst abuser of privacy one can imagine, and then uses his connections with Trump to pardon Levandowski.
Espouses a distinctly anti-government, pro-corporate fantasy where the best in business are ostensibly the smartest and most viable leaders, yet whole-heartedly backs Trump, perhaps the least successful businessman one can name, even today and bankrolls the next wave of populist right-wing candidates who take the approach to the lowest possible denominators.
Screw him. I wouldn't take funding from any firm he's associated with.
