2. Frankly - between Lagarde and Ivanka, I'm not sure who would've been more incompetent.

That $45 billion bailout Lagarde handed Macri, with zero oversight (and at Trump's behest), has to go down as the biggest mistake - and scandal - in IMF history.

It's the very thing Ivanka would've done, had she been at the saddle.

That said, Georgieva is painfully aware of the terrible situation she inherited - and that if that toupéed pig Milei wins, there go the IMF's hopes of at least keeping the loan on the performing side of its ledger (to say nothing of being repaid anytime in the near future).

It really is the biggest Trump scandal nobody's heard of.

Such is the world.

Thanks as always Judi, and have a great and pleasant weekend. Not too hot, I hope.
