Argentina’s president “forgot to cancel the victory plan tweet”? The internet is losing it as Javier Milei declares leave for loss | Today’s news
Argentina president Javier Milea’s tweet after the World Cup defeat went viral for all the wrong reasons. The post on the social network is about celebrations.
“Due to concerns about the celebration of the achievement of the Argentine national team, I am informing the population that depending on the decision of the players and the technical staff regarding the day of celebration, this day will be declared a public holiday,” President Milei wrote.
Soon after the tweet was posted, at 6:04 am IST, it went viral. It has garnered nearly 10 million views so far. Many social media users think it’s a faux pas because of a planned tweet.
“The f*cking PRESIDENT OF ARGENTINA forgot to unschedule his victory tweet. NO celebration happening. ARGENTINA LOST LMFAO,” wrote one user.
“Bruh, it’s been 2 hours since then and he still hasn’t deleted it. Is he ok?” another user asked.
One user commented: “Didn’t know his handling payment didn’t go through. Wait till he checks the balance.”
“Why did he plan this? Was he so sure that Argentina would win the 2026 World Cup?” came from another.
A Spanish fan wrote: “You had it all set up with the Jews and that’s why you planned the tweet but you blew it bro. They can’t punish you if you don’t step into the box.”
Contrary to what many social media users assume, Argentina’s President Javier Milea’s tweet is not random. While Argentina lost the World Cup final 0-1 to Spain in extra-time, Milei’s contribution is said to be a tribute to the team’s remarkable overall success.
In fact, prior to this post, he tweeted about Argentina’s 2026 FIFA World Cup journey: “Thank you so much Players…!!! Until the end with our boots. Argentina always on top.”
Milea’s latest tweet
In the last tweet, he announced a public holiday for the return of Lionel Messi and his boys. The exact date depends on the players’ preferences, he mentioned.
Although it sounded unusual to an international audience, the Argentinians did not react negatively. No political backlash or public relations crisis followed. Many Argentine fans, on the contrary, appreciated the news.
“Well done, Mr. President… This national team was only possible with an inspiring leadership: Scaloni with the national team and you at the helm of the nation. Argentina is great again,” wrote one.
At the same time, a number of them opposed the idea of a national holiday. Some think that celebrating the second position makes no sense. Some believe that the sudden announcement of a holiday is likely to disrupt scheduled work.
