Argentina's Javier Milei visits the White House, and Joe Biden fails to turn up

What is it about Democrats and hospitality? The White House under them is the scene of many embarrassing episodes.

Which brings us to today, where Argentina's newly elected president came to the White House, not to ask for aid, but to tell them about his plans.

According to Breitbart News:

Javier Milei, the president-elect of Argentina, is scheduled to visit the White House on Tuesday for the final leg of his whirlwind visit to America this week, but President Joe Biden will not be there.

Milei, an outsider leading a populist libertarian movement that toppled both the establishment center-right and the ruling socialist coalition in the November 19 presidential election, will instead meet with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.

On Monday, Milei arrived in New Jersey and made his way to New York for a spiritual visit to the Ohel – a Jewish holy site where the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, is buried – then met with Biden Latin America adviser Christopher Dodd and former President Bill Clinton for lunch.

He comes all the way to America from Argentina -- the equivalent of a cross-Siberian flight -- and the best he gets is Bill Clinton?

Biden, the White House said, was "traveling." And indeed he did travel -- to former first lady Rosalynn Carter's funeral which would have been about an hour's flight and not a lengthy affair. He couldn't spare 15 minutes to totter downstairs and say 'hi' to the man, to get the relationship off to a good footing?

The travel excuse is cheesy, too. Historically, first ladies go to other first ladies' funerals. Joe thought it more important to do a first lady's job than meet the new president of South America's second-biggest and best developed country, a nation that has held the designation of a "major non-NATO" ally,

The Bamster treated Netanyahu the same way. Snubbed because of political differences.

The coup running the White House despises the newly elected leader of Argentina. When he’s calling out the thieves and the shit of the left, he’s talking about them, and they know it. I am surprised to hear he even wanted to visit the White House at this time.

Why did Milei even think of visiting DC? Biden’s USA is not his friend, and there armed leftists here who would love to see him killed.

I would like to see a meeting between Milie and Trump.
Both would benefit.
While I'm wishing, maybe Netanyahu should join in too.
Just so there's no doubt as to where Biden stands.

Indeed, the demented Biden's woke DC handlers despise Milei and what he stands for. I fully understand his desire to end Argentina's central bank - and thus end Argentina's socialism and government-crony corruption.

But that means Milei must embrace the US dollar and must suck-up to the IMF to keep rolling Argentina's massive USD loans. Milei has handed power over him to the people who hate him most.

It will all come around and be rectified, justified and clarified when Donald J. Trump visits him in Argentina. The tables will turn. And heads will roll.

“...Why did Milei even think of visiting DC? ...”

Perhaps to make a significant point. Maybe to show the world just what petty, pitiful man heads the most powerful nation in the world.

American voters who placed this man at the head of government should hang their heads in shame.

Standing next to Milei, Biden would be exposed as an intellectual dwarf.

Democrats love a good funeral, they don’t miss funerals ever.

Clinton was at the Carter funeral in Georgia with Biden and even hitched a ride back to DC on AF1. Clinton probably drew the short straw.

Biden is all about politics. Of course he wouldn’t meet with a conservative populist.

He should set down in Maro Lago and chat with Trump.
