Donnie the Grifter strikes again. Gives $20 Billion to Argentina who simultaneously is harming our soybean farmers.

And guess who benefits.

SMH as usual.


Meanwhile, the result has been a one-two punch against American farmers from Trump’s own policies. American farmers are having a tough year, in no small part because of Trump’s bid to reshape global trade. And Argentina’s bailout inadvertently worsened their plight.

China, a major buyer of US soybeans, halted purchases of the commodity in May in response to Trump’s trade war. Then, after Argentina temporarily scrapped export taxes on grains, China swooped in and bought tens of thousands of pounds of Argentine soybeans instead.

“Why would USA help bail out Argentina while they take American soybean producers’ biggest market??? We shld use leverage at every turn to help hurting farm economy Family farmers shld be top of mind in negotiations by representatives of USA,” Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa wrote on X on September 25.

Who benefits?​

Beyond Millei, China, and the Argentine treasury, critics say the bailout also stands to greatly benefit wealthy fund managers who are major holders of Argentine debts and assets.

The bailout would deliver a major windfall to Rob Citrone, a billionaire hedge fund manager with significant investments in Argentina. “Bessent’s personal and professional relationship with Citrone has spanned decades,” according to independent journalist Judd Legum.

To stay or go, no easy choices ahead

The House's absence is creating a risky political dilemma for Johnson. It’s testing his leadership, his grip on the gavel and the legacy he will leave as speaker of a House that is essentially writing itself off the page at a crucial moment in the national debate.

There are few easy choices on the schedule ahead. If the speaker calls lawmakers back to Washington, he opens the doors to a potentially chaotic atmosphere of anger, uncertainty and his own GOP defections and divisions as the shutdown drags on.

But by keeping the representatives away going on a fourth week, lawmakers risk being criticized for being absent during a crisis — “on vacation,” as House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries puts it — as the military goes without pay and government services shut down.

Johnson’s initial strategy to avoid the government shutdown was a well-worn one — have the House pass its bill, leave town right before the deadline and force the Senate to accept it. Jamming the other chamber, as it's often called. And it often works.

But this time, it’s a strategy that is failing.

As House skips town, blame falls to Senate GOP senators have been unable to heave the House bill to passage, blocked by most of the Democrats, who are refusing to reopen the government as they demand health care funds for insurance subsidies that will expire at year's end if Congress fails to act.
