Former President Donald Trump along with a whole host of other online conservative influencers celebrated the victory of far-right outside Javier Milei in Argentina’s presidential election.

Provisional results on Sunday night showed Milei defeating his rival Sergio Massa with over 55% of the votes, according to CNN. Massa conceded the election later in the evening, congratulating Milei on his victory. He is viewed as a bombastic right-wing outsider in Argentina politics, who campaigned on an anti-establishment platform.

Trump took to Truth Social to congratulate the self-described libertarian with the message, “MAKE ARGENTINA GREAT AGAIN!”

“Congratulations to Javier Milei on a great race for President of Argentina. The whole world was watching! I am very proud of you. You will turn your Country around and truly Make Argentina Great Again,” the president wrote to his followers.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson shared a photo of himself with Milei after the results were announced, while the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro noted it was “awesome news.”

In honor of Milei’s victory, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tweeted out a video of him vowing to destroy the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development and Ministry of Women, Genders, and Diversity. Republican firebrand presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy also posted a video congratulating Milei.

Other online conservative influencers, such as Ian Miles Cheong and former Arizona senate candidate Blake Masters, shared posts on X praising Argentina new president-elect including a video of Milei reportedly screaming, “Leftist sons of b*tches, be afraid!”
