  1. It was hilarious watching the debate and just mentioning him for no reason. He called him one of the most respected leaders in Europe, meanwhile he is one of the most hated. He also has a weird fetish with foreign fat leaders referring them as strongmen, tough men etc.

  2. “Let me just say about world leaders, Viktor Orbán, one of the most respected men…” ✋️let me stop you right there sir

  3. It’s interesting, isn’t it. Hungary is barely worth mentioning in terms of population/economy.

    The reasons Orban is getting so much attention are because he’s pulling his pants down for the autocrats he aspires to be like, steals EU funds for his corrupt circle on a scale of billions, reinvests some of that into a massive propaganda effort that mashes together some pseudo-christian nationalist savior bullshit with antisemitic conspiracy theories, while blocking EU policy in a way that mainly benefits enemies of the West and himself, but not the Hungarian people.

    THAT guy is Trump’s reference.

  4. When a candidate for President of the United States gets his major non US support from Putin, Kim Jung Un and Orban you know something is very wrong.

  5. 1 day later:

    Trump points to Russia’s Vladimir Putin as example of his support from foreign leaders

  6. The USA needs more candidates. Their system sucks. Both of the candidates are bad but so bad. Woke Vs Loser. And that country is the source of IT, tech etc. Unbelievable. This is not a good democracy but half baked one : demo.

  7. How does one say “Fuck this fat authoritarian asshole – and also Trump” in Hungarian?

  8. Im just jealus of Trump not mentioning Erdogan. They seem like censoring one of the top dictators of NATO.

  9. I fell out of my chair laughing after Trump called Orban a respected leader

  10. Well it was either gonna be Orban or Putin, or maybe Bibi.

  11. Too bad his voter base dosen’t know shit about European poletics.

  12. Did he specifically say “Hungary’s Orban” or did he think he was the president of Turkey again?

  13. Oh hey look hungary did what the heritage foundation wants to do with project 2025. Of course they have to be great leaders loved by everyone

  14. He also squeezed BIDEN! in. That tone was personal lmao.

    Imagine bragging about having Orban on your side

  15. Sad thing is the average American voter doesn’t know who Orban is and cares less. 

    They’ll just take Trumps word that he’s a super important Euro dude and Trump is really popular with allies.

  16. Make America A Shithole As Never Before!

    Just like Orbán’s Hungary!

    What A Strongman…

  17. Orban is a Putin lackey just like Trump. They are both obstructionists and enablers of Russia’s aggression.

  18. Orban is the best he got because people at least wouldn’t immediately know him and his base is too ileterate to even look him up.

  19. Trump “He is the bestest” when referring (asked about) to Kim Jong Un.

  20. And this idiot still has a good chance of winning the election.
