Trump on Viktor Orban: “There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than [he]."

[Hindsight was 2020]

The simping for guys like Putin or Xi is morally disgusting but they at least got the “all powerful strong man” aesthetic going on, Orban is literally a punching bag at every EU summit and Milei messed with him at his inauguration by sitting him against a wall and next to Zelensky so Zelensky could yell at him during an intermission

A well timed bump considering Orban is facing a domestic scandal at home involving his government trying to interfere in the prosecution of a corrupt official

Lots of complaining about Orban, an elected leader of Hungary, as an "authoritarian", "de facto dictator", etc.  No real examples of this given.

Deadly silence about Erdrogan and Turkey.  Is he a "democrat"?  Is he not an "authoritarian"?

That's the most pathetic gotcha I've ever seen in this forum. If you actually paid attention you would have seen that for years we are saying that Orban, Erdogan, Putin, Lukashenko, are all peas in a pod.
Just because your are wearing blinders and believe only what comes out of the mouth of your cult leader that doesn't mean that these people aren't authoritarian scum.

And, yet, Erdrogan gets no hate here. 

What?! Did you not follow the election thread last year? We all wanted him to lose to Kılıçdaroğlu

There's far more complaining about Orban than Erdrogan.

Oh cares? They’re both awful and the site is pretty consistent on disliking both even if Orban gets called out more. Like what are you upset Orban get ripped on because he covers himself in the esthetic of being a Christian nationalist protecting white Europe from Muslim migrant hordes?
