Or, alternatively, every taxpayer is giving them $200. For reference this is almost three times the amount of his aid cuts from back when.
Why would the rich be part of this discussion? Not paying taxes, not giving loan to foreign countries.
That doesn't even account for China buying all future soybeans from Argentina instead of us. Massive economic impact, even if you never interact with a farm in your lifetime...
China was already buying 3x more from Brazil largely due to older trade disputes.

More like the rich are giving 60$ and the middle class are picking up slightly more.
Please, the rich aren't spending a dime.
The middle class is giving 100 and low income workers are on the hook for everything else.
Wow, who knew so many bankers were closet Antifa Generals all along?
I wouldn't lend Trump $40B either. Dude's already been convicted of 34 counts of loan fraud.
It's $20B from banks, $20B from the US government.
They're not lending to Trump though. They're lending to Argentina, and they would get their money back from Argentina.
But banks know they won't get their money back, since Argentina had to be bailed out 20 times in the past 70 years. That's on average, every 3.5 years.
What are the chances they won't need another bailout in the next 5 years? And what are the chances of banks getting their money back from a country that goes bankrupt every 3.5 years?
That's the main reason.
I would neither lend money to Trump or Argentina.
If Trump starts insulting the banks and trying to impose control on them that would be a sight to see.
If you can bully banks into giving Argentina $40 billion for nothing, then the whole world's financial system seems to come into question.
Lol ehat? Banks have been giving loans to Trump although he was deadass broke. If you still believe into any kind of integrity or logic in the world's financial system, you're in for a rough awakening.
Banks have been giving loans to Trump although he was deadass broke.
Russian ones, sure. They gladly fund a willing ass hat if it means the ruin of the US.
No, he was using Deutsche Bank, the world's dirtiest bank, for years. His money-laundering activities with Russian mobsters came to light when Deutsche Bank was investigated in the 90s. I was surprised he wasn't arrested back then.
That's why his whining about Comey "spying" on him is such bullshit. The FBI wasn't spying on him, they were investigating a known international criminal with extensive ties to Russian mobsters, which is literally their job.
To tRump, any investigation is spying like and no is a suggestion.
Yeah it's not the FBIs fault that Trump REPEATEDLY met with a Russian agent that they were surveiling.
Trump trying to sale a bad deal to the banks? This has never happened before.
Radical Leftist Bankers always worried about the dollar!
I don’t even understand how he hasn’t been arrested
SCOTUS said POTUS is immune for official acts.
I'm sure there's no conflict of interest involved with that or anything, though. And besides, what could go wrong?
Well, you see the first step is you just refuse to seat an appointment by the president so you can place the choice of your president after the fact, and claim, we should wait until the election is over.
Then, when your president is in power and the exact same fucking situation happens again with an appointment during an election, you do your best Nelson hahah, and appoint her anyway.
scotus and and both houses are afraid of him, so they give him full rubber stamps.
also the 40bn is meant to bailout some bessenets former associates who invested poorly in ARGENTINA, not the argentinan people.
Not poorly. They bought debt second-hand for pennies on the dollar and want to be paid the full amount.
Debt vultures.

Trump can just get President Elon to send the money.
well, it only took them a few decades to learn his credit score isn't just... whatever number he says it is.
Yuge. The biggliest credit score ever seen.
I can see the future.
The left isn't capable of stopping trump, but somewhere in his future a disenfranchised right-wing nutjob has his number.
I really hope not. Him being assassinated would make him a martyr and shit would really hit the fan then.
I hope he dies of natural causes on live TV
I hope god smites him down with a lighting bolt while he's lying about not being a pedophile on TV.
However he dies, I will celebrate it with a bottle of cheap wine in my cupboard.
Yeah. We saw what happened with Charlie Kirk. Killing these people creates a new idol for their followers to worship.
The attempts on his life have all been from right-wingers.
the woke banks will pay double!
80B for the patriot Milei!
So does this mean that we were wrong?
It was never the Russians who had Trump by the balls, it has been the Nazis all along?
Group effort.
Trump is a Nazi, the biggest one. What other Nazis would have him by the balls?
Putin clearly knows how to lead him around like a dog on a leash.
But he is giving 40 billion dollars to Argentina, very urgently. Why the fuck is he giving 40 billion dollars to Argentina?
He needs other Nazi allies, there aren't many of those and he's hoping he can buy some.
Why not Russian Nazis?

1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?

Is it not used much anymore? Pretty common word to me, but I'm getting kind of old.
It's also a baseball term for when a pitcher illegally stops their pitching motion.
