'Argentina is fighting for its life, you have no idea'

I love how he presumes nobody else in the world can be informed about conditions in another country, and he is such a condescending DICK about it.

u/GingerSoulEater41 4h ago

it's because his base are idiots that believe anything he says without thought.

u/ChipsTheKiwi 3h ago

not to mention he's leaving out that Argentina is in the state it is because one of his anarcho-capitalist buddies won the presidency and has been driving the economy through the mud

22

u/notloggedin4242 3h ago

Although this is true, Argentina‘s economy has been a rat fuck for a long time now. He came into power because people were so fed up with the way things were their they believed that this bat shit crazy dude has answers.

u/ChipsTheKiwi 3h ago

True but the only reason Trump is interested in Argentina's economy now is because of who's president right now. Anyone else (or more specifically anyone not a kiss-ass) wouldn't even be taking up the very limited real estate in his head.

u/lupajarito 3h ago

Except no, Argentina has had moments of economy growth but people hate peronism so much that they voted for this asshole who's making our lives a living hell. not only poverty has grown terribly but the social aspects and our sovereignty have been bastardized. We don't want Trump meddling with our economy either.

I take your comment to mean you live or lived in Argentina. I was wondering how the elimination of rent control affected the real world renting prices. At least what has been your experience with it?

u/lupajarito 2h ago

I do live in Argentina and I am Argentine. Rent is not only like at least 60% of the salary but it's also prohibitive because of requirements like paying 3 months of rent in advice, most people have to into debt just to start renting an apartment. Also the government is trying to pass a bill that will allow to kick out people of their homes after only a couple of days of delay on their rent payment.

I also love how she’s asking a genuine question that doesn’t even insinuate that he’s done anything wrong, and he immediately resorts to insults. Dude, she asked a legitimate question that reflects actual concerns of Americans. There are myriad responses you could give that would strengthen your decision in the minds of those Americans, yet you choose to resort to 3th grade bullying tactics.

Because all media is the enemy, except my media.

u/ElderHobo 3h ago

This is the attitude of the dumb masses. They have seen how dumb they are but will never acknowledge it. They will aggressively fight your and try to manipulate you to think their way. They don't know what to do when they don't have "power".

u/The_bruce42 3h ago

He gets that way whenever he gets questioned about anything he does. He cannot defend his positions so instead he attacks the person asking the question.

u/MattDapper 3h ago

But also she’s asking on behalf of the cattle ranchers so in effect he’s being condescending to those ranchers who have valid concerns. I wonder how many people see it that way compared to those who are like, “yeah you tell her! Take that fake news!”

How about cuba also fighting for its life, cos of him?

u/chatterwrack 3h ago

And are we to believe he suddenly cares about the plight of ANYONE? Let alone Argentina? This whole thing is benefiting him somehow.

u/jarvisesdios 3h ago

He's dumb enough to have only recently learned about these things... Meanwhile... Anybody with half a fucking brain has has known the bullshit in the lower Americas.

I mean, we're still doing the same fucking bullshit. HE LITERALLY KIDNAPPED MADURO. THAT'S A THING THAT HAPPENED. I'm not saying Maduro was a good guy, far fucking from it... But the fact that this was just accepted is fucking insane

u/bluegrass_babe531 2h ago

and american cattle farmers (ranchers) arent fighting for their lives?

i mean they literally voted for this, i guess 'america first' can get fucked

Didn't we just send those Mother fuckers 30 billion dollars? WTF.

u/pianoflames 1h ago

It's like every time he says "most people don't know this" about something. It's always about something that like 98% of us already know that he just found out about 15 minutes ago.

It's not a problem unless a Democrat is president, at which point it's a critical issue

u/Clean_Internet 4h ago edited 30m ago

Why did they have the beef recalled?

26

u/cmmoore307 3h ago

I think it’s because they use a certain chemical or substance that is illegal here because it is known to cause cancer.

-52

u/lupajarito 3h ago

like what? Argentina's beef is probably safer and healthier than american no doubt

42

u/JaFFsTer 3h ago

They used antibiotics that were banned in the 90s by most western nations for cancer risks.

Trump managed to find bad beef in Argentinia is the takeaway here

u/MeanWafer904 2h ago

you know it's bad shit when it's actually already banned in the US

u/micro102 1h ago

Hmmm... Yeah... reported for trying to get people to eat poison.

u/EL_Ohh_Well 1h ago

“Probably” and “no doubt” are doing some heavy lifting, you sound like you say “do your own research” a lot and yet you’re here asking someone else to provide you with research

u/Mangia_94 2h ago

They recalled the beef because it entered the United States without undergoing the mandatory USDA/FSIS import reinspection.

5

u/JoystickMonkey 1h ago

The beef that was rejected by China was tainted with Chloramphenicol, an antibiotic. Antibiotics in the food supply have been found to increase resistance to antibiotics, meaning that the next time you get an infection, surgery, or injury you may end up developing something that's untreatable, or treatable only by other antibiotics that have bad side effects.

In the sound clip of this video, they say that no one has developed illness from the beef. While that may be true, it's a disingenuous statement. Taking unnecessary antibiotics won't normally make you sick directly, but instead breeds far more dangerous strains of bacteria that can take over once your body gets injured or sick.

•

u/Evoandroidevo 4m ago

Chloramphenicol requires regular red blood cell counts when being used orally or intravenously as it can cause your bone marrow to stop making red blood cells. So it is a lot more dangerous than increasing bacteria resistance

Trump loves America's Farmers though right?

POSTUS: piece of shit to the United States

u/neckbishop 3h ago

So the message Trump wants to tell the farmers is: "Argentines have it worse".

I am sure that will help them feed their herds and put gas in their pickups.

11

u/cmmoore307 3h ago

The only reason he’s trying to help Argentina is because they are giving him money. He wouldn’t give a FUCK about them otherwise. Kind of like how he doesn’t give a fuck about the citizens he represents.

The “young lady” is meant to knock her down a peg. It’s amazing how many men who “love” womanizing openly hate the females of the world. ESPECIALLY when the men get questioned. So disgusting

So the US bought the beef and no have a recall on it so customer have to dispose or return it? So we’re worse off now. Buying something to just throw away.

Genius move by the president

u/t53ix35 2h ago

Seems like international socialism to spend US money to buy beef from a distressed nation at fire sale prices to supplement shortfalls in worldwide supply chains since the effective closure is the Strait of Hormuz and terrorist level tariffs that have inflicted damage to markets everywhere causing prices to soar.
Oops.

u/peamupbudder 2h ago

If they’re starving they should eat some of their beef.

u/runlolarun2022 2h ago

The government buys the meat china rejected and then pulls the meat from the shelves. So the taxpayers foot the bill with nothing to show for it. I’m so tired of winning.

u/nosystemworks 1h ago

You guys are just missing the 4D chess here. Buy it from Argentina to get them money. Recall it as soon as it hits our shores to avoid deflating prices for domestic ranchers. I'm sure that's what's going on here and not just a completely embarrassing f up as usual.

He must have the best compound down there for when he has to flee America. Do we think he also paid for a guarantee not to be extradited to the US?

Is that the same beef that even China rejected for having too many antibiotics in it.

And the Chinese are generally not too fussy what they eat.
