It reminds me of when Tom Brady and Larry Dvid endorsed FTX, but at least they got paid.
Hopefully this goes away with time. If you wade to the bottom, there's this encouraging note: "Recent indicators seem to suggest the country could, indeed, emerge from years of financial and economic turmoil. In January, inflation fell to 2.2% — the lowest rate since 2020 — while wages were rising above the inflation rate. Moreover, Argentina has overtaken Colombia in oil production, a small but symbolic victory in the region."
Here come the globalists looking for straws to get rid of Javier.
This is the equivalent of when Trump said: “Russia, please release Hillary’s emails!”
His leftist opponents are grasping at anything they can.
Was Elon inspired to name ‘Doge’ after the Dogecoin?
Argentinian media, however, reacted harshly. The daily newspaper Clarin, for example, called the scandal a “bullet that pierces Milei’s credibility and authority, both of which are built on economic matters.” The paper added that it remains to be seen whether his “ability to generate trust and expectations among the public” would be dented as the next election approaches.
Many are unaware of what happened in Argentina in the past few years. It was a socialistic gov’t until 2023 when President Milei, a capitalist, took office. Prior to his election, inflation was rampant in the country—as high as 300% at one time. Since then, Milei has implemented austerity measures, deregulation, and a reduction in government spending. These policies have led to a decrease in inflation with monthly inflation reaching a three-year low of 2.7% in October, 2024. The government workforce was reduced by 20%, and taxes were lowered. Economic growth, which had been negative in the past, is projected to be 5% in 2025. The poverty rate has fallen from 57% of the population to 38%.
If this crypto fiasco brings him down, the Left has parleyed nothing into a regime change and all of South America loses.
I’ll swap him some worthless Hawk Tuah crypto for his worthless crypto.
It was dumb of him to comment on a memecoin, but this shows the desperation of the corrupt elites and the MSM. They can’t find anything better to attack him over, so this trivia will have to do.
Stop the bull sheet and just go away.
Milei is crushing the authoritarian, progressive, Big Government crowd and making real progress in restoring liberty.
So whatever it takes to destroy him.
