We can't afford this, Argentina needs $40 billion so their leader can get a haircut that doesn't make him look like the manager of a rock band in the 70s.

How dare you. Lord Citrone made several big investments reliant on the Argentina economy.

The bailout would deliver a major windfall to Rob Citrone, a billionaire hedge fund manager with significant investments in Argentina.

The real question, this administration doesn't do shit for free. What are they getting for their 40B?

I heard today that there is some billionaire who has invested in Argentina, and was about to lose his shirt. Trump's bailout makes him a rich guy again. It looks Trump got bribed to steer tax money to save this guy's personal investment.
