Argentina’s President Javier Millay met with former US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday. It was the first time the two sides had met in person and was the culmination of a year of mutual support and admiration in public.
Both were in Maryland to address a conference. Mr. Trump gave a traditionally energetic speech about the ongoing presidential campaign, while Mr. Milley abandoned his more conventional speaking style to present an hour-long essay on economic theory. Milley and Trump reportedly met after Trump’s speech, and Trump took the time to praise Milley, recognizing him as a “great gentleman” and “a wonderful man.”
Millais posted a video of the meeting between the two leaders on social media on Saturday. “Let’s make Argentina great again!” President Trump shouted, using Milley’s choice as his campaign slogan.“Long live freedom, Karaho!” (“Long live freedom, dammit!”).

Clarin He described the meeting as “low-key” and said Milley, who had met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken days before his trip to the Greater Washington Area, said he had no concerns about interference in the 2024 election or Joe Biden. We speculated that he was avoiding any upsetting behavior by supporting the current president. Trump is too loud.
Miley has been a vocal supporter of Trump for years, even before he began his political career. Milley, a TV commentator and podcaster, defended Trump from libertarian critics who accused him of favoring Biden once he takes office in 2021, calling him a “stupid” and “stupid.” More recently, in an interview with Tucker Carlson in September, Miley called Trump “fully aware that this fight is against socialism, it’s against nationalists, and wealth creation comes from the private sector.” “He is one of the few people who fully understands what it means to be able to do something.”
President Trump returned his sympathies to Milay and publicly praised the Argentine president. In an interview with Breitbart News in January, Trump recalled his interactions with Milley after his presidential victory in November.
“A guy from Argentina said the greatest man in the whole world is Donald Trump. He called me right after he won. I’ve never talked to him. He called me to thank me,” Trump narrated. “I said, ‘Oh, why do you want to thank me?’ ‘Your policies paved the way for this,’ he said. he has everything The night he won the election, he called me and thanked me very much. It’s called “Make Argentina Great Again.” He’s wearing a MAGA hat. ”
At CPAC, President Trump took an hour during his speech to praise Milley as part of a “huge group of high-ranking officials” who attended the event.
“He’s a great gentleman who has a lot to offer. You know he’s a ‘Make Argentina Great Again’ MAGA,” President Trump joked.
In a speech later in the conference, Millais refrained from making overtly political points, instead lecturing on the “technical foundations” of Marxism, “neoclassical” economics, and other issues. In terms of the economy, Millais declared, “Despite the existence of the state, we are in the best period in human history,” and how state regulations would damage people’s lives. An example was shown. As an example, he explained:
Use candles as lighting [New Jersey inventor Thomas] Edison had not yet arrived. Obviously, the moment Edison shows up with a little lamp, all Chandlers go out of business. Of course, if we had listened to the interventionists, we would still be using candles today instead of having this beautiful meeting with all this lighting. This is how socialists ruin our lives.
After a lengthy explanation of economic theory, Millais took a moment to denounce “social justice” and “murderous aims” (as he called the pro-abortion lobby).
“Social justice is violent and unjust, it is neither social nor just, it is aberration,” he declared. “It is unjust because it demands unequal treatment under the law, and social justice involves violent Not only that, but it would be unfair.”
Regarding the “murderous agenda,” Milley credited former President Richard Nixon and his top diplomatic aide Henry Kissinger, stating that “Planned Parenthood has more stores than McDonald’s around the world.” , argued that concerns about overpopulation were misplaced and that the abortion agenda had failed. Because there are 8 billion people on earth today. ”
Millais told the audience, “Don’t advance socialism. Don’t support regulation. Don’t support the idea of market failure, don’t allow murderous plans to advance, and the siren song of social justice.” Don’t be led by it.”
“I come from a country that has accepted all these stupid ideas, and even though we are one of the richest countries in the world, we are ranked 140th,” he lamented. “So don’t give up the fight for freedom. If you don’t fight for freedom, they will drag you into misery.”
