What follows is just my theory, but I think it's merely a matter of politics and culture.

Trump doesn't want Milei's government to fail, he needs successful examples of neoliberal, anti-woke, populist, anti-inmigration governments and Milei is probably his best bet. He's not helping Argentina, he's helping a political ally's party.

Betting on the Peso doesn't make sense. It's a lot of money but it's <1% USA's budget. Trump was probably thinking the American media would not pay too much attention to it but apparently it slightly backfired and they did.

Why would Trump care about neoliberalism in the slightest? Trump is anti-neoliberal.

Fair enough, forget I said neoliberalism but the rest of the keywords apply. Evidently they don't care that one is neoliberal and the other is protectionist, I guess they care more about anti-wokeism at the end of the day.
