Yeah, you know, you ask exactly the right question.
Donald Trump ran for office proclaiming he would do America first.
Instead, he is sending 20 billion American taxpayer dollars to bail out his buddy in Argentina.
And he's doing this after Argentina has just cozied up to China.
and cut a deal with China that takes the legs out from underneath American soybean farmers.
So let me get this straight.
Argentina hurts American farmers, and the president of the United States responds by giving $20 billion to Argentina, plus Secretary Besant saying, and a blank check if they need more.
That's pretty appalling.
Well, that's what I want to do.
I just went to the floor of the Senate and introduced the bill and asked for unanimous consent that we move it forward.
And there was an objection.
So now I'm just saying to the Republicans, look,
You guys have criticized this.
I've heard Chuck Grassley speak out against it, other senators who represent farmers in their home state, saying this is a terrible idea.
Well, you know, this is your chance.
Not just talk.
You can actually take action here.
The United States Senate has the power to say, no, we're not going to do this, so let's just bring it to the floor and vote.
Because I feel pretty sure
that if everybody had a chance in the Senate to vote on this, that the answer would be no money to Argentina.
