The political centerpiece of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House has been the cheesy sloganeering that he stole from 1920s American fascists: “Make America Great Again.”<\/em> That message presupposes that America wasn’t great to begin with. And Trump expanded that pessimistic point of view by insisting that he would always put “America First.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump’s promises with regard to his commitment to American supremacy are like all of his other promises. They are flimsy and unreliable and subject to being abandoned whenever they don’t advance his personal interests. And through it all Trump manages to imagine himself as a beloved leader that can do no wrong.<\/p>\n

In the fourteen months since Trump returned to power he has plainly demonstrated his ignorance and incompetence. He has wrecked the economy with higher inflation due to his tariffs and idiotic trade policies. He has destroyed faith in the law with his invasions of U.S. cities by ICE thugs and persecution of political foes. And he has launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran.<\/p>\n

So how does all of that translate into fulfilling Trump’s pledge of achieving American greatness? Obviously it does not. And Trump’s response to that record of abysmal failure is to spend millions of taxpayer dollars erecting tributes to himself, such as a vanity ballroom, an arch of triumph, and plastering his name and pumpkin-hued mug on everything from the Kennedy Center to U.S. currency.<\/p>\n

Trump is engaging in a festival of ego-fluffing that is reminiscent of the totalitarian dictators that he idolizes and seeks to emulate. Among them are Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and Hungary’s Viktor Orb\u00e1n. The latter of which is lately on Trump’s mind due to the election on Sunday that he is predicted to lose.<\/p>\n

Trump has given Orb\u00e1n his “Complete and Total Endorsement.”<\/em> He even sent his Vice-President<\/a><\/strong>, JD Vance, to Hungary last week to campaign for Orb\u00e1n. And most recently Trump posted a supportive comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, to buttress Orb\u00e1n’s losing effort, saying that “My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary\u2019s Economy.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump is promising to "use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary\u2019s Economy."<\/p>\n

Maybe he should try using that for the U.S., instead of trying to bribe Hungarian voters to reelect a dictator that he's infatuated with. pic.twitter.com\/JaF2X3J6xM<\/a><\/p>\n
