Javier Milei, Argentina's self-styled 'anarcho-capitalist' president, has marked his first 100 days in office with a mix of success and setbacks. Milei, who enjoys an almost Christ-like status among heterodox conservatives and MAGA rightists, has faced criticism for his administration's approach, including from those who find his team, including a spokesman known for comparing protestors to opponents in 'Age of Empires', to be deeply unserious. Despite the controversies, Milei's tenure has seen a drop in inflation and a rise in poverty, giving cause for hope and concern. Additionally, his government's social cuts have led to violent protests in Buenos Aires, signaling a turbulent start to his presidency.
