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

I swear to God, if Trump was president back in the 40s he would have let Stalin reach Lisbon.

Notice how miserable these autocrats always look, whether with family or even their own supporters. Not a good or fulfilling life, folks!

He pisses off the libs here at home, and having an American Viktor Orban would own them.  That's all that matters, really.  What more do you need?

Orban gerrymandered the parliament constituencies so he can never lose so that's why Trump likes him.

The Republican Party has already gone the way of Fidesz, so no surprise here.

Does that include allowing CCP police to patrol the streets of Budapest?

Would Trump allow CCP police to patrol the streets of New York City?

By joining Schengen? He’s done the exact opposite.

I'm not defending Orban by any means, but Hungary joined Schengen while Orban and his party were not in power (December 21st, 2007).

Orban would’ve done the same, based on how he hasn’t criticized the deal in the years he’s been PM.

As long as this thread has been bumped, it's worth noting this wasn't a one-off. He mentions Orban's flattery at every rally now.

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

The guy is a de facto dictator and has repeatedly tried to control the judiciary, so the only surprise would be if this is the first time it happens.

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"?
