Yet, they never have the funds for healthcare coverage for all

But Agentina now has.

$40 billion was the entire annual budget of USAID. No matter what you think of them, they did provided essential aid to dozens of nations, and DOGE destroyed them under the pretense of lowering the deficit. Now we're spending that much money just to prop up one countries economy.

(Yes, I know they USAID is a soft-power tool of American imperialism, and is rumored to have been used as cover for CIA operations, but they also did a shit-load of global AIDs prevention work, and I'd rather have spent the $40 billion on that than bailing out a libertarian freak so Rob Citrone can get rich.)

The country is totally fucked up when he can just decide to spend 40 Billion on a whim.

I guess I know where his next villa will be once his term is over

Thats 2.6 million dollars for every school district in the United States.

Making Argentina Great Again

So how much would it cost to give American's healthcare?

Argentina, Israel and Qatar first.

What a fucking dumb asshole

For 40B, I could probably build a big enough carbon sink to fix global warming.

Out of curiosity, what does this do to the USD? I know it is a "small" amount relative to our country, but if they are swapping $40b in U.S. Dollars for a currency of high volatility, isnt it a guaranteed loss of believed stability in those USD up to that amount?

First of course, it's disrespectful to make insinuations to a sovereign country about whom they may vote into office.

Secondly, Trump doesn't have authority to give loans.

He's probably trying to deceive Argentinian voters with false hope of generous loans (which have to be paid back, I should note).

However, in the US, financial decisions are made by Congress. Certainly on the scale of tens of billons. The president has discretion to move far smaller sums.

Aren't Argentinan soy farmers basically stealing American soy farmer's sales? Its almost like American farmers voting for this City Slicker Real Estate loser hate themselves or something.

This will fail. Argentina is a habitual financial crisis center. And they will spend only more money to prop them up.

I was more under the opinion that he was setting up an escape plan just like the Nazis.

Double or nothing. Trump firmly believes in the Martingale strategy. It's part of the art of the deal.

Americans get the government they deserve (and voted for) 🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🖕🇺🇸

Maybe Trump should buy Islas Malvinas from Argentina.

Here is the real reason for bailouts. They need the funds to stay high.

Those efforts have been complicated by the fact that major hedge funds, including those led by friends of Mr. Bessent, stand to benefit financially from an Argentina economic lifeline. Funds at investment firms including BlackRock, Fidelity and Pimco are heavily invested in Argentina, as are investors such as Stanley Druckenmiller and Robert Citrone, both of whom worked with Mr. Bessent when he was an investor for George Soros.

Fascism first

When I read about this, all I think about is the Nazis fleeing to Argentina after WW2. Idk if this is related or not, but makes me wonder.

crypto bros first
