U.S. bailout for Argentina: White House plans $20 billion deal for Milei government

Now, then: This is the same Donald Trump, who bailed out the same Argentina, with the same Economy Minister (Miami-based money launderer Luis Caputo) - and for the same reason (to try to alter the results of an Argentine election not going the far-right's way) - in 2018.

Suffice it to say, it didn't work then. And the lent dollars? Squirreled away by Argentine elites and foreign speculators, leaving Argentina the (unpayable) tab.

El Cheeto is obviously counting on most U.S. voters simply never hearing about this.

Or only in such vague terms, it would escape them that these are taxpayer dollars going to a country that (under right-wing regimes) has a long history of simply using bailouts to finance dollarization and offshoring of peso assets.

Such that we'd never get that money back.

It takes two to tango.
