Fortunately for Milei, Donald Trump has stepped in to grant them a $24 billion bailout of U.S. taxpayer money, with Trump deeming Milei a “kindred spirit” for wrecking the Argentine economy. Trump apparently cares so much about Argentina that the bailout’s structure explicitly shields it from being affected by the government shutdown. They made sure to write up Argentina’s bailout as though it was an essential function of the U.S. government, insulating it from the shutdown. Well, for one notable example, the current shutdown means active-duty U.S. soldiers are not being paid. Trump may not have made America great again, but at least he seems to be trying his hardest to improve Argentina!
