It's "funnier" than that - in September China bought no soy bean exports from the US (last time that happened was under another president, weirdly he was called Trump as well) meanwhile by far the largest buyer of soy beans from Argentina is China. So US farmers lost a decent market for a crop they mostly grow as crop rotation with Corn which is going to require them either getting bailed out or going to the wall while the same president is backing up the country that made bank from the shift in China buying US soybeans. I've no dog in the fight - not American, Argentine or Chinese but it feels like a weird deal for a guy who "wrote" a book called "The Art of the Deal" no?

It makes perfect sense since he didn’t even write the book - he had it ghost written.

It makes more sense when you realize he doesn't actually give a rats ass about "Making America Great Again". He is only looking to enrich himself, other rich people and advance his ideology. And for that last part he can't have Milei fail after so vocally supporting him and sacrificing tax payer money for that is something he doesn't have to think twice about doing. In that sense it would be a perfect deal for him and his allies.
