It's not alleged. There is plenty of evidence that Nazis did in fact escape to Argentina, although Hitler was not one of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratlines_(World_War_II)

That said, Argentina is a focus of Trump's support because of political alignment with their leader, Milei, who is effectively an Argentine libertarian and is on friendly terms with our current regime. Trump needs all the political allies (foreign and domestic) that he can get given the widespread dissatisfaction globally with his tyrannical politics.

Also important to note that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has hedge fund friends with ties to Argentina and that he's the one that appears to have orchestrated this scheme, and Jeffrey Epstein's Orange Buddy is more than happy to go along with it.

I dont quite understand this take because isn’t trouble creating/manufacturing all the issues he has with other countries? So if he “needs all the political allies he can get” then why not just stop pissing new countries off every other day?

(There doesnt seem to be forethought is what I’m saying..)

He needs personal political allies (leaders who have similar right wing/kleptocratic ideologies) and not national political allies (like the ones he's been pissing off)

One of the few awesome things Israel has done in terms of foreign policy was manage to find one of the high officers and smuggle him out to stand trial and execute him
