“After Donald Trump’s $40 Bbillion of Argentina, the United States is now tied to the economic fortunes of a country that was once the wealthiest in the world but now ranks just below Kazakhstan. The American taxpayer will be on the hook for a government that has defaulted on its sovereign debt nine times, three of those in the last twenty-five years. But let’s set aside for now the question of whether the bailout is a good idea or a bad one. What strikes me about the Argentina story is how much that country’s history holds up an uncomfortable mirror to our own history of the last few years. … the parallels go back to Juan and Eva Perón, and the Perónism that Trumpism is slowly [sic] beginning [sic] to resemble.” (10/24/25)
