Rand Paul is doing it for political power. Most libertarians aren't very interested in playing with those in power. Most libertarians oppose Donald Trump because he is a protectionist and not very fiscally libertarian.

Donald Trump is a pretty mixed bag when it comes to some fiscal issues but in free trade there are winners and losers ... 

Big importers (losers) like the US and Greece keep raking in deficits while big exporters like China are winning big time ... 

A nation with no economic independence is at the mercy of every other nation ... (There's a reason why the US was trying to derail OPEC as much as possible just before the shale oil revolution.)
