Many people much more knowledgeable about these things than The Gadfly predicted this would come to pass, you know, people such as trained and experienced economic experts and not incompetent political hacks.

"The Trump administration pledged on Monday to do whatever is necessary to support Argentina’s struggling economy, throwing a lifeline to the country’s embattled president, Javier Milei, ahead of legislative elections there next month.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the United States is prepared to offer loans to Argentina’s central bank, direct currency purchases and purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated Argentine government debt from Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund to keep Argentina’s economy afloat. The value of Argentina’s currency, the peso, has fallen in recent weeks amid concerns about Mr. Milei’s political grip on government.
“Argentina is a systemically important U.S. ally in Latin America, and the U.S. Treasury stands ready to do what is needed within its mandate to support Argentina,” Mr. Bessent wrote on social media.
President Trump has embraced Mr. Milei, whom he has described as his “favorite president,” as a kindred political spirit. Because of their close relationship Mr. Trump has deepened ties between the United States and Argentina, amplifying its strategic significance."
Argentina's President Javier Milie modeled his governing decisions after Drumpf and even called himself "Mini-Trump." Drumpf himself has stated Milei is his "favorite" foreign President and the two have met several times. Two peas in a pod, if you will.
And now, just as those aforementioned wiser people predicted, Milie and his Argentine government have come groveling hat in hand to his old pal DonOld after inflicting great economic harm on his own nation and people with his ill-advised economic policies, which btw are pretty much the same policies being implemented as we speak by Drumpf and his 'Project 2025' goon squad right here in the good ol' US of A.
And if early news reports are correct, apparently Drumpf has ordered his Treasure Secretary Scott Bessent to bail out Argentina.
Imagine that folks. Your tax dollars are going to be spent to bail out a mini-dictator wannabe Drumpf crony in Argentina, who against the judgment of smarter people, forced years of economic hardship on his people claiming his right-wing economic policies would Make Argentina Great Again. Sound familiar?
The American people essentially will be bailing out a failing dictatorship a time when Drumpf and his minions, along with help from the MAGA monkey House, are kicking Americans off of Medicaid, Medicare, and making moves to slash funding for Social Security and Veterans Benefits in a full frontal attack against pretty much any federal program or agency that actually helps average Americans instead of DonOld's billionaire pals in the tech, corporate media, and fossil fuel industries.
"Make America Great Again" my ass.
