Trump already pulled this garbage for his sex-party pal Macri (using the IMF) in 2018 - with very easily predictable results:

Because most bailout/foreign loan money to Argentina since 1980, has done little besides financing dollarization and offshoring of peso assets by Argentine elites and foreign speculators - leaving Argentina the (unpayable) tab.

The only difference here, is that's it's actual taxpayer dollars - as opposed to IMF funny money.

And among the foreign speculators this time around? Why, Scott Bessent - who reportedly has investments down there, and a lover.

I can only hope Netflix makes a series out of this someday soon. It would be a doozy.
