The emotional part will easily be misinterpreted abroad, especially by Anglos. Such histrionic narcissistic figures are not uncommon in Argentinian football and are very well understood and popular in South America, Spain, and Italy. It’s sort of a “permanent joke” that many people in our countries find very likeable. Similar to Ed appearing in vids wearing a wig and making hilarious over-the-top parodies, just another thing in another cultural context. I must admit I laughed a lot with Milei’s interviews, we are familiar with some Argentinian celebrities who are pretty similar. He’s by no means the only one, just the only one who became President.
