Another $20B to go to Argentina:

Apparently B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

Farmers in sacred fly over country don’t understand what has happened. Why didn’t their soybeans sell as was commonplace in the recent past? An incredible mystery in the heartland.

Trump regime to "Jump the Shark" with a good chunk
of the MAGA bunch--but it hasn't .............YET!!!

Of course, very few people wear MAGA gear around here anymore. I assume due to embarrassment.

12. "Many banks are interested in it." Even if that's true (and I wouldn't bet on it)...

... the only reason a bank would be interested in a deal like that would be serious pessimism about the US economy.
