Javier Milei was elected president of Argentina Sunday evening, with the extreme-libertarian tantric sex guru who has no political experience likened to Donald Trump.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this year, DailyMail.com published an in-depth look at the new leader and his very colorful life, which we have reproduced to commemorate Milei’s historic win…<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s never a dull moment with former self-described \u2018tantric sex coach\u2019 and now Argentine presidential frontrunner Javier Milei.<\/p>\n Indeed, Milei \u2013 who is also a prominent economist and radio chat-show host \u2013 has spoken about his preference for threesomes, why he believes poor people should be free to sell their body parts, and how he enjoys communicating via telepathy with his dead dog for political advice.<\/p>\n The far-Right libertarian is also an admirer of Donald Trump \u2013 and it certainly shows: the outspoken firebrand has rapidly risen to prominence vowing to \u2018kick politicians out on their asses\u2019 and railing against the elite \u2018caste\u2019 he says rules Argentina.<\/p>\n The populist showman and daytime TV star, whose frenetic rallies and social media rants also evoke The Donald, dismisses global warming as a \u2018socialist lie\u2019 and says he would abolish much of the country\u2019s government right down to its beleaguered central bank.<\/p>\n Argentina has a weakness for extreme leaders, and the country \u2013 an economic basket-case where annual inflation rate shockingly stands at over 115 percent \u2013 may be about to vote in its wildest yet.<\/p>\n Milei has just pulled off a shock victory in the primary round of voting ahead of next month\u2019s election, in large part due to support from young voters who are so disenchanted with more \u2018conventional\u2019 politicians that they have turned to a man whose recent biography was titled El Loco (The Madman).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s never a dull moment with former self-described tantric sex coach and now Argentine presidential frontrunner Javier Milei (pictured with Argentine actress F\u00e1tima Florez).\u00a0Indeed, Milei has spoken about his preference for threesomes and why he believes poor people should be free to sell their body parts.<\/p>\n The far-Right libertarian is also an admirer of Donald Trump… and it certainly shows: the outspoken firebrand has rapidly risen to prominence vowing to \u2018kick politicians out on their asses\u2019 and railing against the elite \u2018caste\u2019 he says rules Argentina.\u00a0<\/p>\n A political unknown until only three years ago, Milei, 52, was elected to Argentina\u2019s parliament in December 2021 as a member of La Libertad Avanza (\u2018Freedom Advances\u2019).<\/p>\n He prefers to call himself an anarcho-capitalist, which means he\u2019d like to rip up as much government intervention in people\u2019s lives as he can and leave it all to the free market.<\/p>\n \u2018If I had to choose between the state and the mafia, I would choose the mafia,\u2019 he once said. \u2018Because the mafia has codes, the mafia adapts, the mafia doesn’t lie. And above all, the mafia competes.\u2019<\/p>\n His so-called \u2018chainsaw plan\u2019 to slash the bloated state includes getting rid of Argentina\u2019s public health and education systems along with shuttering ten out of 18 government departments.<\/p>\n Milei is also so anti-progressive he has repeatedly taken aim \u2013 rather bizarrely \u2013 at Pope Francis, his compatriot, calling him a \u2018f***ing communist\u2019, \u2018communist turd\u2019 and the \u2018representative of the evil one on Earth\u2019 in brutal social media posts, simply because of his perceived support for \u2018social justice\u2019 and policies to help the poor.<\/p>\n \u2018Jesus didn\u2019t pay taxes,\u2019 Milei memorably tweeted.<\/p>\n His private persona appears to match the public image of an unpredictable eccentric.<\/p>\n At home he keeps four 200lb English Mastiffs. All named after famous right-wing economists \u2013 and each one cloned from a fifth, now-dead dog named Conan (after the Barbarian).<\/p>\n A recent biography by journalist Juan Luis Gonz\u00e1lez revealed Milei studies telepathy in his spare time and has a medium to \u2018communicate\u2019 with Conan, who died in 2017, asking him for advice on political matters.<\/p>\n Astonishingly, Milei hasn\u2019t denied the claims. \u2018What I do in my house is my business,\u2019 he told a Spanish newspaper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A recent biography by journalist Juan Luis Gonz\u00e1lez revealed Milei studies telepathy in his spare time and has a medium to communicate with his dog Conan, who died in 2017, asking him for advice on political matters.<\/p>\n Not that he\u2019s usually so secretive.<\/p>\n Milei, who is single and has never married, proudly says he used to be an instructor of tantric sex \u2013 a slow, meditative form of intercourse based on Eastern philosophies where the end goal is not orgasm but enjoyment of the process \u2013 and could go a full three months without ejaculating.<\/p>\n He\u2019s also talked openly about having threesomes.<\/p>\n Even so, he has called Conan the greatest love of his life, an animal he so cherished that during a financially tough period he survived only on pizza so Conan had enough to eat.<\/p>\n The dog is closely followed in Milei\u2019s affections by his younger sister, Karina, who he has vowed to make his First Lady if he becomes president.<\/p>\n Certainly, it all sounds rather odd \u2013 but if anything, Milei revels in the lunacy.<\/p>\n When a political opponent called him \u2018a disheveled panelist who screams on a stage and sleeps with eight dogs and his sister\u2019 during a debate, Milei\u2019s only response was to say: \u2018I don\u2019t have eight dogs\u2019.<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s his hair\u2026<\/p>\n As a teenager, Milei sang in \u2018Everest\u2019, a rock band that knocked out Rolling Stones covers. He still behaves like a wannabe rock star now, strutting around on the election trail in a black leather jacket shaking an unruly mane of thick black hair that is so peculiar it has earned him a nickname: The Wig.<\/p>\n Hardly flattering \u2013 but perhaps an improvement on \u2018The Madman\u2019, a sobriquet which originated at school.<\/p>\n Milei says he never combs the hairdo and that only his party\u2019s vice president, Lilia Lemoine, a keen cosplayer, is authorized to style it. She also does his makeup: Milei is so vain he refuses to appear in backlit photos as they show up his double chin. Ms Lemoine employs a \u2018contouring\u2019 technique similar to the one promoted by the Kardashians.<\/p>\n Milei\u2019s absurdity may have something to do with his unhappy childhood. He grew up in Buenos Aires where his father was a bus driver and later a transport sector businessman. Milei claims his parents, Norberto and Alicia, physically and verbally abused him when he was young. As an adult, he didn\u2019t speak to them for a decade. \u2018They are dead to me,\u2019 he has said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a teenager, Milei sang in a rock band that knocked out Rolling Stones covers.

He grew up in Buenos Aires where his father was a bus driver and later a transport sector businessman. Milei claims his parents, Norberto and Alicia, physically and verbally abused him when he was young. (Pictured: Milei in his youth).<\/p>\n At school, he reportedly had no friends, and often boiled over in notorious angry outbursts.<\/p>\n He later studied to be an economist but found the dry life of academia wasn\u2019t for him.<\/p>\n Then, around five years ago, he suddenly tried his luck on Argentina\u2019s beloved daytime TV chat shows \u2013 and producers quickly realized viewers couldn\u2019t get enough of his demented claims about his sexual stamina and his brazen political opinions.<\/p>\n Raised a Catholic and now said to be converting to Judaism, his views on abortion are extreme: wanting to ban terminations in every case except when a mother\u2019s life is in danger.<\/p>\n Though, while he may be staunchly opposed to pro-choice views when it comes to pregnancy, he’s proposed a controversial ‘market mechanisms’ to deal with long waiting lists for transplants, arguing that organs are a person\u2019s property to sell as they choose.<\/p>\n He wants to see Argentina ditch the peso and adopt the US dollar as its national currency, slash taxes, privatize state-owned companies and scrap subsidies.<\/p>\n As for foreign policy, he believes his natural allies would be the US and Israel, saying: \u2018I don\u2019t want to have anything to do with the communists of Cuba, China and North Korea.\u2019<\/p>\n On the ever thorny question of the Falkland Islands, which Argentina unsuccessfully tried to grab from Britain in 1982 during the prime ministership of Margaret Thatcher, one of his icons, Milei proposes copying the UK\u2019s transfer of Hong Kong to China in 1997.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He has called Conan the greatest love of his life, an animal he so cherished that during a financially tough period he survived only on pizza so Conan had enough to eat. The dog is closely followed in Milei\u2019s affections by his younger sister, Karina (pictured), who he has vowed to make his First Lady if he becomes president.<\/p>\n \u2018It has to be a solution that satisfies [the UK], that satisfies Argentina and that satisfies those who live on the islands,\u2019 he told the El Pais newspaper.<\/p>\n That sounds refreshingly reasonable compared to the cynical saber-rattling of previous Argentine presidents – though given Falkland Islanders overwhelmingly say they want to remain a British overseas territory, a Hong Kong-style handover seems most unlikely.<\/p>\n Falkland Islanders may then be safe from rule under Milei – but what of their neighboring Argentines?<\/p>\n Perhaps only a seance with the all-knowing canine spirit of Conan the Barbarian can answer that.<\/p>\n
