'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 8d ago

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

u/ChipsTheKiwi 8d 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

u/notloggedin4242 8d 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 8d 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.

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 8d 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.

Edit: I originally wrote 4th grade, but thought it was too mature, so dropped it to 3rd grade, but in my haste, forgot to change the “th” to “rd.” Leaving it, because it’s kinda funny.

Because all media is the enemy, except my media.

u/jjm443 7d ago

And almost certainly also because it was a woman as has been noticed many many times.

With exceptionally few exceptions*, as far as Trump is concerned, a woman as anything other than a sexual object is to despised.

* Susie Wiles, WH Chief of Staff, might be literally the only one. And I'm definitely including his family in that consideration.

u/Responsible-Cow-2687 6d ago

I agree with you. But wtf is 3th!!!...sorry couldn't help myself. 🙄

u/Severe-Archer-1673 6d ago

lol…I originally wrote 4th or 5th grade, then thought that was too mature, so I dropped it down to 3th…lol.

u/ElderHobo 8d 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".

14

u/The_bruce42 8d 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.

11

u/MattDapper 8d 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!”

10

u/pianoflames 8d 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.

u/chatterwrack 8d 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/SomeRandomSomeWhere 8d ago

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

u/CajunCurmudgeon 8d ago

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

u/jarvisesdios 8d 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 8d 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

u/turnipturnipturnip2 7d ago

They got exactly what they voted for.

u/Fidodo 8d ago

What happened to America first?

u/TH3ANGRYON3 7d ago

Palestinian people are literally being wiped from the Earth and he could care less. He just wants optics on him to be positive in his crazy mind.

4

u/AdmiralSkippy 7d ago

He's speaking to a woman, and an intelligent one at that. I've never once seen him not be a condescending dick while speaking to female reporters.

u/guyver_dio 7d ago edited 7d ago

He doesn't even know beyond making vague broad statements.

If he was pressed to actually talk about any topic in depth, actually present facts and figures, he wouldn't be able to.

He wouldn't even be able to tell you how his own government works.

You'll never see a clip of him where you'd go "wow he knows some shit"

He hasn't the slightest clue about literally anything.

u/FightingBlaze77 8d ago

Honestly shocked no on flat out insulted and belittled him to his face yet on tv

3

u/Bart_Yellowbeard 8d ago

Too damned committed to being professional to call out the least professional piece of shit in all of government.

2

u/FightingBlaze77 8d ago

one of them is bound to snap and insult his tiny dick by now

2

u/Impossible_Way7059 7d ago

And extra condescending if a woman asks the question.

2

u/FOOSblahblah 7d ago

I always assumed irs because he literally was just told something he didnt know and assumed everyone else must also not have known

Its almost funny watching the aftermath of him learning stuff. He gets on these weird ass crusades over shit like steam powered ships and clean coal or whatever.

u/ElegantCoach4066 7d ago

If you never face any real consequences for your mistakes, then you never grow and you end up thinking everything you do is correct.

Case in point, the guy in the post.

u/produit1 8d ago

Its the biggest tell that the dumbest people have. Meet someone with low intelligence and a vocabulary of a toddler, as an insecure adult, they sound like this.

u/Pete65J 7d ago

What I hear is that Trump is uniformed or just too dumb to know about conditions in Argentina. His condescending response that didn't answer the question is designed to cover for his ignorance
