    You can’t say we didn’t know what was on the package, this is entirely self-inflicted.

      We’ll only in the same way Trump was self-inflicted, that is to say that millions of people didn’t vote for him and are still impacted by this.

        Didn’t he win the vote? Trump lost the vote. He won the election because the American system is designed to sometimes hand victory to the loser - Trump was the 5th or 6th example to date.

          He was voted on by 14.5 million votes, which was 56% of the votes, but it is also out of a population of 45 million, and he only got 30% in the first round of votes. They have a completely different voting system to the US, so they had a second round of runoffs.

          The point is, no most people in Argentina did not vote for him, but many did not vote at all.
