Today is election day in Argentina. There's a very high probability that they'll toss the leftists out on their ears and elect their version of Trump.
He wants to Make Argentina Great Again.
"BUENOS AIRES — Argentines head to the polls on Sunday in a presidential election that could put a right-wing, Donald Trump-admiring populist in charge of one of Latin America’s largest and most volatile economies.
With the peso plummeting and inflation at nearly 140 percent, voters in this nation of 46 million are demanding a solution to the worst economic crisis in two decades. Many are backing a candidate that promises to blow up the entire system.
Congressman Javier Milei, a 52-year-old libertarian economist, stunned Argentina’s political establishment with his surprise win in the August primaries. Running on promises to destroy the country’s political “caste” — the local version of Trump’s “drain the swamp” — he has proposed shutting down the central bank, dollarizing the economy and taking a “chain saw” to government spending. He pledges to cut down the number of government ministries from 18 to eight and let radically free markets rule."

Is Argentina about to elect a Trump-admiring outsider president?
