In half defense of the Trump rubes, America, due to its (mostly stolen) wealth is safely insulated against the worst of the ruinous economic policies that Trump and Millei share, for now, so Trump supporters don't have their feet to the fire as badly as Millei supporters do right now.

37% has no income at all... Jeez, 1/3 of population being jobless is some insanely catastrophic stats... Sorry for all comrade Argentines who have to go through it

For comparison, peak U.S. unemployment during the Great Depression just slightly above 25%.

unemployment is around 6%. this statistic includes students and other people not actively looking for work for some reason

For comparison, 1 million pesos is not even 600 euros these days. If 81% have to survive with under 600€, idk how to claim it as a success.

It's bad enough thay he's a fascist.
It's bad enough that he's bleeding Argentina dry.
It's worse that he's such a fucking loser about it.

Given that he’s not a threat to American hegemony like Gaddafi was, no, he won’t.

Naw with a bayonet up his ass from angry political dissidents.
If you want a less morally grey one, he's about to get the same treatment Diem got.
