Trump said in an interview on Air Force One yesterday (Beijing Time October 20): "Argentina is heading toward destruction. They are fighting for survival. They have no money, they have nothing. Mile is doing his best, but they are about to die."
[Clever] Comment: Trump's words are a perfect example of "hegemonic friendship" — to be friends with him, either submit and obey his orders or be declared "about to die"! Describing Argentina as an endangered species, it's unknown how President Mile of Argentina would feel. Trump loves using this simple and brutal structure, simplifying complex issues into a binary choice of "either me or death." This "kindergarten-level" diplomatic language would probably make Mile roll his eyes.
