“Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady,” Trump mansplained to the female reporter. “You don’t know anything about it—they’re fighting for their life. Nothing’s benefiting Argentina. They are fighting for their life. You understand what that means? They have no money. They have no anything. They’re fighting so hard to survive.”
After slashing billions in foreign aid around the world this year, cuts that experts say are costing real lives in some of the poorest nations on earth, Trump went on to claim that it was his duty to help struggling Argentina, currently governed by his far-right friend and ally, President Javier Milei, who has driven the economy into a tailspin with his chainsaw-inspired austerity.
For generations now America has shit on any economic system thats not pro-oligarch unregulated capitalism, intentionally preventing anything else from succeeding, and spending crazy levels of money to make it seem like it works somewhere.
Because it doesn’t fucking work, even Biden’s version of “acceptable” capitalism can’t stand on its own.
Pretty typical US foreign policy…

And the wealthy are desperate to hide that.
