Argentine President Javier Milei is particularly agitated by the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the former U.S. president and likely Republican nominee. As a controversial politician who changed the face of his country and overturned the deep-rooted corruption and bureaucracy that has consumed Argentina, he is all too aware of the threat of violence and assassination, for his third-world country has seen more than its fair share of it. Milei is in the midst of implementing sweeping economic reforms and dismantling his own “deep state” by eliminating the bureaucracy and corruption that have bankrupted Argentina for decades. Trump has been a vocal ally to Milei and a promised partner if he wins another term as U.S. president.
Like many other world leaders, Milei expressed his solidarity with Trump and his vision to save America and stop its downward spiral after the tragic events of Saturday night on X.

My full support and solidarity goes out to President and presidential candidate Donald Trump, victim of a COWARDLY assassination attempt that put his life and the lives of hundreds of others in danger.
The desperation of the international left is not surprising, as it now sees its pernicious ideology at the end of its rope. It is prepared to destabilise democracies and advocate violence to gain power. Fearing electoral defeat, it is resorting to terrorism to push through its regressive and authoritarian agenda.
I hope for a speedy recovery for President Trump and that the elections in the United States will be fair, peaceful and democratic.
Milei also accused the left and the customary media of complicity in creating an environment that favored this development.

Argentine President Javier Miley has shown its support and solidarity for the former US President and Republican candidate in the November elections, Donald Trump after he was the victim of a cowardly assassination attempt that put his life and the lives of hundreds of others in danger.
“It is not surprising that the international left is desperate to see its nefarious ideology dying out and is willing to destabilise democracies and encourage violence to stay in power,” he said in a message on the social network X.
“Fearing electoral defeat, they are resorting to terrorism to push through their regressive and authoritarian agenda. I hope for a speedy recovery from President Trump and that elections in the United States are conducted in a fair, peaceful and democratic manner,” he concluded.
In another post, Milei responds and reposts an MSNBC video by Claire McCaskill in which she compares Trump to Mussolini and Hitler and portrays him as more threatening than these dictators. Milei attacks the media with this.

Politically correct leftists are all cut from the same cloth no matter where you look in the world… When a deviant adjective appears in society, they are there to label their opponents with that adjective… We have several of these sinister entities in the country who also have their accomplice journalists… quite simply, look for the politicians who do this and the journalists who play into their hands. There you will find the real enemies of FREEDOM… The culture war never ends… LONG LIVE DAMN FREEDOM…!!!
Some journalists in the country and the independent international press have taken note of Milei’s position and amplified his statements. In the wake of commercial media attempts to cover up the Trump assassination attempt and exploit it for their own ends, Milei’s statements are a blatant indictment and an alternative voice. They also demonstrate the power of social media, especially the revived X platform, to ensure that space is given to free expression and truth in the face of these attempts at obfuscation and gaslighting.

President Javier Milei (@JMilei) rejected the atrocities Democrats said about Trump, such as that he was “more dangerous than Hitler and Mussolini,” that led to the violence of Saturday’s attack.
These independent journalists also make connections and draw parallels between the customary media’s portrayal and symbolism surrounding the attempted assassination of Trump and the same customary media’s attacks on Milei.

Not only Trump was a victim of this kind of violence that the mainstream media seeks to legitimize, Milei also fell victim to this symbolism during his presidential campaign, when Kirchnerism showed blood-stained lion heads or dolls with the photo of Milei’s burning.
If Trump wins the US presidential election in November, Milei’s ally could further shake up the world’s comfortable and entrenched centers of power. This is something the world’s elite probably fear most.
