Doubling down on the free lunch for Argentina's maniacal dictatorship: $40B from the pockets of US taxpayers, doled out by Trump as a personal favor to a billionaire crony.

US foreign policy is now just a series of handouts to Trump's pals, with us picking up the tab.

ITUC denounces Trump’s intervention in #Argentina’s elections — backing a regime that cuts wages, attacks public services, and enables capital flight 💸

This isn’t a bailout. It’s a hedge fund exit plan.

✊🏽ITUC stands with Argentina’s workers. No more blackmail & foreign interference. #ForDemocracy

...while also dishing out $40 billion of US taxpayer money as a treat for his maniac billionaire buddies in Argentina. Our money is his private purse, to be dispensed at his whim.

He's ruling in pre-Magna Carta style.
