Argentina's Javier Milei copies Trump's playbook to become country's biggest primary election vote-getter

Argentina’s Javier Milei became the biggest vote-getter in his country’s presidential primary elections on Sunday after copying the political playbook of former President Trump.

Milei, an admirer of Trump, has says he wants to make it easier for Argentinians to own handguns, denies the severity of climate change, describes sex education as a ploy to destroy the nuclear family, and calls for Argentina’s Central Bank to be abolished.

The leader of the Liberty Advances party also criticized the "political caste" that rules the country and advocates for the "reconstruction of Argentina."

On Sunday, Milei did much better than expected — rocking his country’s political establishment by emerging from the countrywide primary elections with around 30% of the total vote.
