Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

Former President Donald Trump has told Argentina’s President-elect Javier Milei that he plans to travel to the South American country so the two can meet, Milei’s office said Thursday.

The office did not give a date for when Trump intends to be in Buenos Aires. The inauguration of Milei, a right-wing populist who has expressed admiration for Trump, is scheduled for Dec. 10.

“The president-elect received a call last night from the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, who congratulated him and pointed out his triumph by a wide margin in last Sunday’s election had a great impact on a global scale,” a news release from Milei’s office said.

A local journalist who was first to report the news, Luis Majul, wrote on X early Thursday that the lawmaker son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Eduardo Bolsonaro, was the one who “facilitated” the contact between Milei and the GOP front-runner. “That’s right,” Milei posted in response.

Imagine Nazis traveling to Argentina?

I guess history does tend to repeat itself

How? Trump's passport was revoked.

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The FBI returned his passports shortly after they were seized.

They weren't intentionally seized. They were seized because classified documents were mixed in with his passports and other stuff. When they raid a facility, they don't have time to sort through everything there so they will often grab everything. Then a team sorts through it and returns anything that isn't part of the case.

Now, if a judge rules that Trump is a flight risk, they can seize his passports for real this time. Until then, though, Trump retains the ability to travel outside the country.

Too much like consequences.

Trump is welcome to stay in Argentina

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Argentina gets what it deserves with this guy. Watch em crying in a few years that things are worse, and they'll just vote in another right wing moron, cause that's what their macho brain is wired to do. I've met a ton of Argentineans while at my job and they're generally arrogant and right wing, like they're over compensating.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe don't judge an entire country based on random people you've met? Almost half of them didn't vote for this shithead.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There's a reason why Argentineans are disliked by pretty much every other Latin American country, they're the ones who think they're above the rest of us and they think they're European

South America is a pendulous place for politics. After each dude on the right, they go left. Rinse, wash, repeat.

The current government is intentionally leaving a debt in USD of about 130000 millions. We are already with 3 digits inflation. 4 years of woes and problems aggravated by the current government, which was actually looking to be reelected. 56% of people said no to that.

I'm tired of seeing this asshole cheering in different article photos with his stupid haircut, glasses, and chins.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Dwight Jr. (Clark) has come a long way

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Just as soon as he gets his passport back in 20 years

It takes a pig to appreciate a pig

This is the best summary I could come up with:


“The president-elect received a call last night from the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, who congratulated him and pointed out his triumph by a wide margin in last Sunday’s election had a great impact on a global scale,” a news release from Milei’s office said.

A local journalist who was first to report the news, Luis Majul, wrote on X early Thursday that the lawmaker son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Eduardo Bolsonaro, was the one who “facilitated” the contact between Milei and the GOP front-runner.

You will turn your country around and truly make Argentina great again,” Trump said in a video published on social media Tuesday.

Milei has often been compared to Trump, whom he praised in an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson earlier this year.

His conversation with Trump on Wednesday took place a few hours after Milei spoke with President Joe Biden.

The White House said Biden congratulated Milei and spoke of “the strong relationship between the United States and Argentina on economic issues, on regional and multilateral cooperation, and on shared priorities, including advocating for the protection of human rights, addressing food insecurity and investing in clean energy.”
