On Monday, The New York Post reported that President Trump congratulated Argentinian President Javier Milei for the gains he made in Argentina’s legislative elections. The opinion polls (surprise) had not predicted the win.
The article reports:
With partial results reported, Milei’s La Libertad Avanza had increased its seats in the Chamber of Deputies to at least 64 from 37 and gained at least six seats in the Argentine Senate.
“BIG WIN in Argentina for Javier Milei, a wonderful Trump Endorsed Candidate! He’s making us all look good,” Trump added on Truth Social. “Congratulations Javier!”
Recently, the Trump administration had done a $20 billion currency swap with Argentina in order to to stem a panic in which investors had been spooked by the poor performance of Milei’s party in the Sept. 7 Buenos Aires provincial election.
The article concludes:
Milei had spent his first two years in office with a minority in Argentina’s Congress. With his party’s victory on Sunday, he will have more breathing room to carry out his shock therapy agenda with less fear of legislators overriding his vetoes.
Under the new government’s watch, monthly inflation plunged from 12.8% prior to Milei’s inauguration in December 2023 to 2.1% in September of this year.
Milei himself is up for reelection in 2027.
If the courts and the Democrats would allow President Trump to do his job, we would see the same sort of success in America. We are already seeing a lot of success even with the efforts to ‘cancel’ President Trump.
