a current Presidential candidate in Argentina, then reading this paragraph,
Most of the cash is being used to pay back the fund for the record, $44 billion bailout program - which the IMF granted in 2018 to right-wing former President Mauricio Macri, reportedly at the behest of then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
reminded me that Trump was trying to push daughter Ivanka into the IMF to replace Christine LeGarde, by 2019, when he dragged Ivanka along to the G-20 summit meeting in Osaka, where the media grabbed these images of Ivanka trying to butt into a conversation Christina LeGarde was having with Macron, and Trudeau.
They were simply typical Trump photos at the time, but just now it made even more sense, after seeing your photo of Minister Massa speaking with Kristalina Georgieva.
I realized Trump, without a doubt, directed Ivanka to go butt into that conversation and work it, as part of his plan to shove his kid into the IMF ASAP! You noted, back then, that she went over like a lead balloon! The French Government released those photos!
It makes it even clearer tonight that Trump was already starting to flex his Presidential muscle with the IMF and that there probably would have been no end to his super-filthy schemes for situations like Macri's, assisting them in creating impossible problems for would-be successive progressive Presidents, which could lead to nearly permanent fascist control of everything on the planet!
That vicious plan could make fascists unstoppable once it got up enough steam.
We won't know if it has worked in Argentina for Macri and other dictatorship supporters until after this coming election. Wow.
Surely hoping this agreement made with Massa, and President Alberto Fernández, and IMF's Georgieva can bring the necessary substance to carry the positive and progressive work restoring the government back to health, back to where it was before the fascists got their destructive takeover underway.
Hoping this is the step needed, peppertree. It sounds so helpful.
