Trump’s Argentina Bailout Enriches One Well-Connected US Billionaire

Where is the America first crowd to tell us how great it is to bail out a country that was destroyed by far-right economics.
Shit by the time Trump and his goons are done with us, the US is gonna need a bail out.
And where was it going under far Left economics?
 
Geezus. Out-in-the-open corruption at the highest level of the Federal Government.
 
Why is trump bailing out Argentina while our farmers are suffering from his tariffs
Answer the question. The answer to yours is we need to keep Argentina on our side instead of the Woke side.

But we don't need Rob Citrone "on our side". HE is the beneficiary of this deal.

You are defending the trump administration's using our funds to enrich a pal of one of trump's highly-placed officials.
 

...This wasn’t the first time the U.S. treasury secretary has seemingly pleased Citrone by acting on Argentina’s behalf.

Legum, citing the financial publication CE Noticias Financieras, reports that Citrone lobbied Bessent to push for a bailout from the International Monetary Fund in April, as the country’s economic woes grew. Bessent then reportedly helped persuade the IMF to disburse $20 billion to Argentina, which still failed to stabilize its economy, thus setting the stage for America’s own $20 billion intervention.
 
Not only that, they’re doing it at the expense of American farmers.

Who cares? Argentina, is not systemically important to the United States. Argentina is a miniscule player in terms of U.S. interests. The U.S. accounts for only about 1/8th of Argentina’s imports, less than its imports from the European Union and much less than its imports from China.

It’s definitely a lot less important, both strategically and economically, than Brazil, whose economy is more than three times as big as Argentina’s. Yet Trump has completely alienated Brazil, imposing 50 percent tariffs on the nation for daring to try and convict a former president who attempted to overturn his electoral defeat.

If not him, who else? Why is he “bad”?
 
No idea, it’s American taxpayer money all the same. kind of blows a hole in the whole America first bullshit.
Of course Trump is the guy who’s on record saying that he loves spending other peoples money.

It's instead oligarchs first at the expense of working and middle class families.

So, where giving 20 billion to a failed rightwing government that is selling soybeans to China which is undercutting our farmers. Who now are demanding a US taxpayer bailout because of an idiots tariff (tax hikes) policy.

Why do farmers get socialism?
 
There's this little club of a few billionaires like Netanyahu, Milei, Bolsonaro, and Putin who are more highly regarded by the American regime than any normal American citizen ever will be.
 
Tell me.

What was it like before Milei?

Why is that our problem? America First means what exactly? How does bailing out Argentina help America in any way? Are we now going to focus our. efforts on fixing the world? Are you worried that millions of Argentinians are going to flood the border looking for work?

Benefit to America? Zilch. Benefit to the American Taxpayer? Less than zero. Benefit to rich hedge fund managers? Bingo we have a winner.
 
Farmers here should not get socialism. What is the deal with you with farmers and Milei?
 
Any complaints when Biden gave Soros and other NGOs many billions?
 
Where were you on NGOs and Soros foreign aid for transgender outreach? In any event, what does a hedge fund manager have to do with any of this? Cause he knows Bissent? Would you want it to be Soros and then you would be quiet as a mouse?
Use someone else's money besides my tax dollars for those things, thanks.

NOW you guys are saying not to spend billions on aid when we passed around money like drunken sailors to left wing causes under Biden.

I'm just a single girl dude

Id stop sending out aid like that. Id make it optional for tax payers to alot a percentage of their money to aid if they want to give.

It's our money, we all have a stake in how it's spent. Id opt you to not pay that aid and let others who want to can.

Lol

You don't know a damn thing about me

So I don’t know if you heard this or not. America voted the Democrats who did that out of office. They elected Trump and a majority Republican Congress on a message of America First.

What Biden did was according to those who were victorious in the election, bad for America. DOGE and Trump shut all that down. Ignoring legislation that authorized the payments. They did so because it was good for America.

If you support Trump and America First not to mention the cessation of all that spending, then why would you support Trump bailing out Argentina?

If Democrats are bad for doing that stuff. How can Republicans be good for doing the same thing. At best the Republicans would be just as evil as the Democrats wouldn’t they?
