He is still in awe of the authoritarians whose unchecked dominance he so envied. On Monday Trump released a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realLizUSA\/status\/1477997609792983042\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a><\/strong> (via his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49961\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter ban defying spokes-shill<\/a><\/strong>) officially endorsing the Hungarian fuehrer, Viktor Orb\u00e1n. Trump gushed that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Viktor Orb\u00e1n of Hungary truly loves his Country and wants safety for his people. He has done a powerful and wonderful job in protecting Hungary, stopping illegal immigration, creating jobs, trade, and should be allowed to continue to do so in the upcoming Election. He is a strong leader and respected by all. He has my Complete support and Endorsement for reelection as Prime Minister!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The reasons Trump gives for his noxious endorsement are chillingly reminiscent of his praise for Putin and other oppressive strongmen. These despots are always portrayed by Trump as loving their country. Presumably it&#8217;s the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48197\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">same sort of love expressed by the insurrectionists<\/a><\/strong> sent by Trump to assault Congress on January 6, 2021. And naturally Trump is approving of the racist immigration policies of Orb\u00e1n. However, he couldn&#8217;t be more wrong about the respect that he says Orb\u00e1n enjoys. Quite the opposite. Orb\u00e1n has antagonized and estranged his European neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2020\/04\/01\/hungarys-authoritarian-takeover-puts-european-union-risk#\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to Human Rights Watch<\/a><\/strong>, Hungary&#8217;s parliament gave Orb\u00e1n rights that allow him to rule <em>&#8220;with unlimited power for an indefinite time.&#8221;<\/em> He has the power now to strike down and\/or implement laws by decree. And democratic elections have been suspended.<\/p>\n<p>And if that isn&#8217;t bad enough, Orb\u00e1n has consolidated control over the country&#8217;s judiciary and media. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/press-freedom\/hungarys-orban-press-predator-media-watchdog-says\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reporters Without Borders has noted<\/a><\/strong> that oligarchs close to Hungary\u2019s ruling Fidesz party control more than 80% of the media in the country, while private media is discriminated against and characterized as publishing <em>&#8220;fake news.&#8221;<\/em> No wonder Trump adores him.<\/p>\n<p>It is not surprising, though, that Trump would pay tribute to Orb\u00e1n. He is very likely taking his queues from Tucker Carlson of Fox News. Last August Carlson <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50287\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">made a pilgrimage to Hungary<\/a><\/strong> to curtsy obediently before Orb\u00e1n. Why wouldn&#8217;t he? The targets of Orb\u00e1n\u2019s hostility and lies are often the same as those that Trump and Fox News go after. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50333\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CNN\u2019s Jim Acosta reported on Carlson\u2019s trek<\/a><\/strong> to the totalitarian dystopia.<\/p>\n<p>So Trump is once again affirming that he is an anti-democratic, freedom-hating, friend to flagrant fascists. He even said so explicitly during <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51503\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his recent <em>&#8220;Sexual Predators Tour&#8221;<\/em> with Bill O&#8217;Reilly<\/a><\/strong>. Both Trump and O\u2019Reilly had moments wherein they displayed their utter disgust for America. While discussing his record on foreign relations, Trump admitted that the world leaders he <em>&#8220;got along best with were tyrants. For whatever reason, I got along great with them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;For whatever reason?&#8221;<\/em> We know the reason. It&#8217;s because they are the people he relates to and most hopes to emulate. God forbid he ever gets another chance to.
