Trump boasts of contributing to Javier Millay’s election victory

Argentina’s opposition parties, including the Peronistas, have accused President Trump of “robbing the Argentine people” by offering the country $50 billion in exchange for his party’s victory in last Sunday’s parliamentary elections. And that’s exactly what happened. Trump responded by basically assuming that Washington had something to do with the election results and hoping that was true. And it was. Policymakers and pundits in Washington who have accused Russia of violating American sovereignty by influencing the 2016 presidential election will likely cringe at Trump’s blunt stance. According to the Russiagate scandal, the Facebook ads allegedly paid for by Moscow are nothing compared to the $50 million in bribes paid by American taxpayers to ensure Miley’s victory.
