On Monday, Popular Information revealed that the Trump administration’s $20 billion bailout package for Argentina directly benefited Rob Citrone, a well-connected hedge fund billionaire.
Shutdown: Trump freezes $18B infrastructure project in “blue”NY. But executes $20B bailout for Argentina’s right-wing Milei before midterm elections. This also saves Bessent friend Rob Citrone’s AR bond investments!
Trump and Company think, if they crime out in the open, it won’t be considered a crime. But they underestimate those of us who are paying attention and can still think critically!
As we’re often told, especially in the circumstance that SCOTUS has given Trump immunity, is to make sure the Dems get back in power with our votes. Our anger needs to be channeled into all of us working toward that goal!
At some point, that failure could trigger a violent backlash. Those who feel they’ve been deceived are the likeliest to be out front. In France, farmers have driven their tractors into Paris to block traffic. Would be interesting see a bunch of combines ringing the White House.
Can you afford a 100% increase in your monthly health insurance premium? What about 150%? I know I can't.
If the GOP pushes their CR recission through, gutting Obamacare subsidies, combined with the $1 trillion cut to Medicaid, by this time next year, health insurance will be unaffordable for the bottom 90%.
Sounds fairly wanky! To not give already approved $ to New York, but give it to Argentina without Congress’s approval? Sounds like T has gone over his skis’ once again!
Bessent knows he has to lie when Trump lies, and he’s a willing participant. But unlike Howard Lutnick - a very practiced and even enthusiastic liar, Scott doesn’t lie with any authenticity and always gives away what’s really happening!
I have been sharing your research on this. While the reasoning appears to some of us to clearly to benefit Citrone and Bessent, it seems to have fallen below some people’s radar. Thank you for the amazing work you do.
True 🔝 because six billionaires OWN - 90 % of the Media! They censor the truth we need to know! MSNBC has always been the most responsible when it comes to News you can Trust. Fox LIES! Should be in the top list of the most outrageous LIARS! ← FACT!
How is this even legal? And why would the Republican party that claims they're trying to slash the deficit approve of this? And why are the Democrats not screaming at the top of their lungs to anyone who will listen?
It isn't legal. He's declared himself above the law long ago, and whatever drove the Supreme Court to say "go on ahead with your bad self" ... Who knows.
They will vote for him a third time which makes no sense… I believe immigrants provide cheap labor to a portion of the farmers. China stopped buying our pork and crickets…
Is this comment about the imaginary $17 trillion Trump keeps saying he's "brought in"? Because that isn't real and hasn't happened. They did raise the debt limit by $5 trillion and started borrowing a bunch more money though. It's all in the Big Ugly Bill.
"“This trope that we are helping Americans with interests down there couldn’t be more false,” Bessent responded."
This is a ridiculous statement. Of course it helps filthy rich shits in the US, including Citrone. Stabilizing the Argentine economy stabilizes or maybe increases the value of the Argentine debt held by the stinking rich.
It also gives Citrone and the other rich dipshits time to sell their investments to some Greater Fool.
Point is every president, every congress person, every elected official has graft, retirement on their agenda. Always has been.
What surprises me is negative talk about our President- yet all were quiet during biden's term- remember the debate performance- he couldn't be a Walmart greeter, yet all the libs had no comment. So I believe you all should sit this one out and come back in 38 months. Bye
If you ask me, 'pressing' is an overstatement. He's questioning Bessent rather timidly.
Of course this should be more present in the news, and we SHOULD determine what actually a failed state is, and what the interests are that those billions are serving. It seems, pretty much the opposite of what Bessent says is true.
AMERICA FIRST CORRUPTION

This isn’t your low-level, once-in-awhile corruption. It is constant, in the way Tammany Hall in New York and Big Bill Thompson in Chicago were.
Trump and Company think, if they crime out in the open, it won’t be considered a crime. But they underestimate those of us who are paying attention and can still think critically!
What are we going to do about it and all the shady deals being made? The rich keep getting filthy richer and the poor and middle classes suffer.
As we’re often told, especially in the circumstance that SCOTUS has given Trump immunity, is to make sure the Dems get back in power with our votes. Our anger needs to be channeled into all of us working toward that goal!
I wonder what happens when the law fails. I’ve a pretty good idea.
We’re seeing it now.
At some point, that failure could trigger a violent backlash. Those who feel they’ve been deceived are the likeliest to be out front. In France, farmers have driven their tractors into Paris to block traffic. Would be interesting see a bunch of combines ringing the White House.

This is just another example of trump taking care of his crooked friends at the expense of the taxpayers 👎👎👎
Feed the needy here in the US-not an individual in Argentina.
Soybean farmers are pissed about giving Argentina $20B and then seeing Argentina sell $14B in soybeans to China.
Yea, you think
Disgusting
We lived passed Tammany, we will live past this.
Sounds fairly wanky! To not give already approved $ to New York, but give it to Argentina without Congress’s approval? Sounds like T has gone over his skis’ once again!

Absolutely disgraceful!
Here's how I see it....
Trump gives $20B to Millei. MIllei takes a cut.
Millei uses the remainder to keep bonds solvent, giving Citrone a hefty profit.
Citrone gives Trump 50% of the profit.
Classic money laundering...
Nailed it
And, so. I guess Peter would take a smaller cut?
Peter would not bailout Argentina. He would use the money to fund programs for non-billionaires at home.
So, Peter would take his cut from his funding of programs in America- ?
Come on, 1% of 20 bill is $200 mill. Nice days work Pete
Peter, not being a greedy prick, would not take a cut. He would use the $20B for people who needed help, not for rich assholes or MAGA trolls.

There’s a lot falling below the major news media’s radar, aka Sgt Schultz’s News —I see nothing…

There’s too many outrages. Still, I get your point.
Disgraceful.
Wait until American farmers hear that we are bailing out Argentina to help an American billionaire hedge fund manager and a crony at that!!
They won't likely be finding out: you don't really think it'll be on Fox News do you😕
hahahahaha Right!!
Hey they mostly voted for him…
I'll be surprised if farmers vote for him again... second thought, no I won't.
They will vote for him a third time which makes no sense… I believe immigrants provide cheap labor to a portion of the farmers. China stopped buying our pork and crickets…
Too true.
And on top of it all, Argentina undercut us and sold tons of soybeans to China.
China is ticked off by the trade war and stopped buying soybeans too.
Nice work PI!
Hey everybody! Don't let this (and all the other) brazen corruption distract us from the Epstein files...they seem to have fallen off the radar.
Shocking how that happened!
20 billion pays for a lot of health care.
17 trillion even more.

Another day, another welfare handout to the cronies of The Clown Who Would Be President. He treats American tax payers like his own personal ATM.
Trump and his regime are all liars - we cannot believe or trust anything they say or do!
Yes, yes. You can't believe anything from the last 242 years. I've kept G Washington's term out of the liars.

it’s almost like they’re playing right in our faces 🤔
ALMOST?! NO! Its OPEN and Directly IN OUR FACES.
sarcasm doesn’t always translate in writing
True. Difficult to wordify tone, facial expressions, etc.
The emoji's are supposed to emulate emotion but don't work so well for everyone.
Love it. It sure beats having green hair, overweight, unemployed, non accomplished, dizzy morons in charge
USING OUR $!!! WHY! THUS GOVERNMENT SUCKS!!!!!
May suck, but beats living in Gaza
No, I will not excuse that that's stealing from us to give to someone else. Nothing like Gaza 🙏💜

What we're going to come back now and say f*** you,!! Not happening on our watch!!💯🇺🇸
The grift continues!!

One very small example of what the hell is really going on round here $$$$$
