Former President Donald Trump expressed his admiration and support for Argentine politician Javier Milei during a public event in Richmond, Virginia. Trump, who is seeking his second term in office, praised Milei for his embrace of the “Make Argentina Great Again” slogan, a play on Trump’s own “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.
At the event, Trump declared his affection for Milei, stating, “I love him because he loves Trump. When he called, I answered his call. Anyone who likes me, I like.” He also commended Milei for his efforts to cut back on waste and inefficiency in Argentina, calling him a “good leader” and “a tough guy.”
The bond between Trump and Milei was first showcased at a convention in Washington, where the two leaders met backstage and exchanged pleasantries. In a video shared on social media, Trump can be seen warmly greeting Milei and expressing his support for the Argentine politician’s vision for his country.
With Trump’s recent victories in internal party elections in Idaho, Missouri, and Michigan, he continues to solidify his position as the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. Trump’s momentum is expected to carry him through “Super Tuesday,” where voters in 15 U.S. states will choose their preferred candidate.
As Trump gears up for a potential rematch with President Joe Biden in the November election, his strong showing in state contests reflects the enduring influence he holds within the Republican Party. Despite some divisions and tensions within the party, Trump’s popularity remains high among party activists and voters.
Overall, Trump’s positive gesture towards Milei and his continued success in the primary contests signal a promising path forward for his presidential aspirations.
