We're all watching Argentina and praying for a speedy economic recovery.

He knows if he even discusses plan B, then his opponents will quickly try to go to plan B, then plan C… and then its watered down garbage.

[Prizzadar]

I wish Argentina that they can overcome this crisis and came out stronger. Greetings from Czech Republic. Best of luck!

[gladystaylor]

He didn’t JUST say “there is not plan B”. He said: THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY, ONE PLAN (A) to do things, to do them RIGHT. There is not plan B to do it RIGHT.

I wish the Argentines the best of luck and success from Germany.

[JeFilm]

The way he closed his eyes when he said "No, there's no plan B."

I love how his barber steadfastly adores 1967

Man... beyond the memes and jokes, this guy looks serious, composed, and genuinely motivated by a real desire to change the lot of Argentina. I think that the whole world should wish them luck in this endeavour.

[rainclould]

No plan B ... Means focus... For a madman he speaks very calmly and for a badman ...he seems very focused on helping his country.❤

Good luck Argentina. Love from the USA 🫡

I can’t speak Spanish, but based on the subtitles and his tone of voice, I can tell that Milei possess real down-to-earth economic intellect. And quite frankly I’m very impressed. I hope and pray for all the best for him and Argentina!

President Malai. You have started a revolution in the world people all over the world are fighting back because of your speech at the WEF. It was a sensational speech. You woke up the sleepy sheep in the world. He woke up Europeans they listen to you. We all listen to you. God bless you and God bless Argentina.

[jordie]

Wish Argentina and Milei the strength to overcome the economic problems 💪🏻🙏🏻 🇦🇷 🇺🇸

[deutschspanier]

check the translation. "Empezamos", like many verbs in spanish, are both present and past in the first person of the plural form. In the first minute, Milei says "cuando empezamos" which is "when we began", not "when we begin".

[h.i.sjoevall]

Interesting with an argentine leader who mentions Margret Thatcher as a role model :))

[PablaMMoore]

Argentina needs a big change. It is a rich country with a great potential to go back on track and be strong again. I love you Argentina! May God give Milei wisdom to make all the changes needed to give Argentina a new begining so deserved by all its people.
