I used to lean conservative, was brought up that way with friends and family. But I eventually figured out the "party of fiscal responsibility" was anything but. They cut taxes and spend on weapons and corporate handouts greatly increasing the debt. Then the next Democrat president reduces the debt. Over and over again it has happened.
Who’d thunk that making those who made their money from others, as well as public infrastructure, should have to reinvest a good portion of that back into society, and doing so actually reduces the financial burden and societal degeneration for everyone?
This Idiot has spent a lifetime using debt/bankruptcy to brand himself the “king of debt.” Problem is, countries don’t get chapter 11 protections! When they go broke, Bad Things happen. Not that this asshole cares.
So sad this happens to such an awesome country. I respect Peronist third-way politics, especially over what they have now, but they really need to find a way to produce things/services and increase trade networks that generate more resources for themselves. Or else, they’ll always be in debt to themselves and other nations.
They need more than just tourism and Argentinian beef.
"need him"? When does anyone need a failed businessman to help with a serious financial problem? Even if he wasn't a failure, why would we need a liar? Even if he's not a liar, why would we need a felon convicted of election deception? Even if he wasn't a felon, why would we need an adjudicated rapist and pedophile protector? Why would we need someone so compromised and beholden to so many foreign entities?
Why that is just not fair... You left out abusive, serial cheater, litigious, wife beater, corrupt, petty, human trafficker, bigot, propagandist, and so many more.
"A Trump never pays his debts!" His solution is to offer 10¢ on the dollar and then sue you if you don't accept it. His 6 bankruptcies show that doesn't work in the real world.

So true, ask Argentina when they had to go to the IMF and World Bank.

I like him better when he's asleep. He should do it more. Forever, even. Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.

Also shitting himself. If he could do that so hard that he goes into the forever sleep, I think it would benefit the world greatly.

He is literally the king of debt. He bankrupt six casinos and the only way he can maintain his fortune is through grifting others.
