Milei wants to adopt USD as the national currency, so you're definitely 100% wrong with that statement.

Historically, most conservative parties of Argentina were installed by the USA. Notably, the 1976 Coup had them meeting directly with Henry Kissinger, and there are lots of conversations about former POTUS Trump potentially meddling in the election that installed Milei.

You missed the part where I said it's what his supporters hope for. I'm not saying he will actually do it or even try to do it. People there think the country is controlled by the USA and want this to change. They also see adopting USD as a quick way to lower inflation. Yes, it's not realistic but people don't know that so they still voted for him.

You missed the part where his supporters have absolutely nothing to do with this post or comment thread.

Sorry, I though it's the people that elect presidents in elections. My bad.
