... use taxpayer dollars to buy that. Looking at the polling though, quite possible Donnie and our dollars may not even be able to do that. Argentina is an economic basket case that, short of a full crash and complete governmental rebuild that finally (if it is even possible) eliminates all the graft and collusion, will just keep limping along from one economic and political crisis to the next. Probably what caused Lagarde and the IMF to try one failed bailout and then double down for another and now Trump trying is that Lagarde and probably Bessent know how fragile the world and US economy is and don't want a full collapse of any country's economy as it may be a trigger that puts into focus bigger economies' fragility like France. We have seen this cascade effect before and it is not out of the realm of possibility for it to become a black swan event.
