Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Shunned By Past POTUS Arrives At WH

Trump needs to befriend people like this so that he has someplace to go and hide after he leaves office.

Well, as a tourist, you're probably not really concerned with their vanishing free press or the proposed "slave law."

Oh this is going to be so good:


"Orbán said his government and the Trump administration were aligned on some global issues.
He said: “I would like to express that we are proud to stand together with United States on fighting against illegal migration, on terrorism, and to protect and help Christian communities all around the world.”


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...er-white-house


Only thing left for DT is to praise Hitler at some point during his D-Day Rainbow Tour of Europe. Saying the guy is just misunderstood but meant well.


Meanwhile from the NYT:


"A home-page article on Origo made the case that Mr. Orban’s invitation to the White House “is a clear message to the elite in Brussels” that Mr. Trump sees opportunities to strengthen trans-Atlantic relations beyond relations with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, President Emmanuel Macron of France and Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission."

I'll bet that Trump has his personal Boeing 757 on constant standby.

Except conservatives didn't support Trump because he's not conservative. Not that you care about the truth.

I’m Liberal and a visible minority but I’m totally on board with what Orban’s position is re: Muslim immigration and the refugee crisis.

Given Hungary’s delicate history of suffering Jihadist military invasions and conquests, it is only natural for a leader to want to do what’s best for his people.

I don't care how Hungary runs their country but from my visit, it's running really dam well. I do support their efforts to prevent the EU forcing them to take African immigratns they don't want there.

Since our "Free Press" or a pack of liars trying to destroy America, I predict their "Free Press" might be the same cabal trying to destroy them.

Heading back for another trip in August to Budapest...what a fine city!
