There's no doubt that it advantages this one guy, and that this guy is a Trump ally. Fine. But that's too narrow.

The bailout pays back Wall Street banks, private lenders, and bondholders. ALL these people own Trump, not just one guy. Trump is a tool of the investor class and the billionaires, not just one guy.

Furthermore, Trumpism is committed to evangelizing itself globally, and Milei is a MAGA ally. They are trying to have their people in place everywhere, but especially in Latin America because...

Trump also wants to go to war with Venezuela (and probably Cuba). He needs committed MAGAs like Milei at Latin American diplomatic gatherings to push war with Venezuela and to support the war logistically and diplomatically once it kicks off.
