Before it was illegally destroyed by Musk and co., USAID had a budget of $35 billion (in 2024)

(1) How is giving $40 billion to Argentina without congressional approval during a government shutdown legal (not that that matters anymore)? (2) How much of the $40 billion goes back to the Trump Family? (3) Trump has handed Argentina more money than the entire USAID budget.

Trump-Vance 2025: Argentina First!

Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social · 1d

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

If Trump is willing to spend $40 billion of our tax dollars to save the right-wing rule of some Argentine, what of our resources will be willing spend to maintain his own power?!!

Trump can simply give $40 billion in US tax money to his pals in Argentina, openly admit it is for the intended purpose of keeping the MAGA allied right wing government in power, and pocket billions for himself. The US has no laws anymore and that's your money they are stealing.

Trump waded into Canada’s elections and voters swung left. Ojalà que sea lo mismo en Argentina.

Trump Offered a Helping Hand to Argentina. It Backfired.

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.

I could not imagine support for sending $40 billion to Argentina being above 10%.

Remember that Vance justified terminating all forms of foreign aid on the basis of “spheres of empathy” framework ?

Trumpy and Vance just found 40b to prop up Argentina’s economy …

China will no longer buy soybeans from the U.S. Our soybean farmers are losing billions of dollars. Tariffs. China is buying soybeans from Argentina! And Trump is bailing out Argentina with our tax money!
