Trump Greets Hungary's Hard-Right Leader
 

"People have a lot of respect for this Prime Minister," said the president in a photo-op in the Oval Office before their meeting. Trump went on to warmly praise the Hungarian leader. "He's a respected man. And I know he's a tough man, but he's a respected man. And he's done the right thing, according to many people, on immigration."



oh how Trump loves his Strongmen And Dictators and he lavaises them with praise .. and his supporters are with him all the way :smash:

Long live the king.

Wayne...what exactly is your problem with Orbán?

Pavlov's Liberal

Trump said something and he drooled

My guess is that when Wayne discovered that hillary and soros were not fans that he simply echoed their sentiments. He is tough on immigration which many countries in the EU wish they had also demonstrated.

Orban's great if you want
The economy is good, sort of......
Anti immigrant political platform
A big border wall
Media controlled by the government, he got rid of the opposition fake news
A one party system in all but name
A loaded Supreme Court
Well on it's way to a kleptocracy
Hate George Soros
Sounds like a likely hero to some, doesn't he?

It's reported that he has taken control over 80% of all media in the country and uses it to promote his agenda, Trump would love to have that kind of control. He also loves his hard line on immigration and tough ruling practices.

He's here as a visiting dignitary, would you prefer he spat in his face and kicked him in the shin.

There is a reason no one has invited him in the past 20 years.
There is a reason the EU voted to sanction Hungary
Perhaps the "slave law" might be one reason
Seizing control of 80% of the media
We need to be careful who we support

yeah...probably shoulda gone with the secret meetings and airplanes full of cash route

ummmm ...trump has no control over more that 80% of the American media

Yet,he has twice been elected as leader of his country. There must be a reason they chose to replace the socialist regime. Kudos to the Hungarians for deciding to preserve their identity that so many other countries have helplessly watched fade away. The list is long,ask Belgium,Sweden,France,Germany and all others who no longer recognize their homelands. Search immigration and crime on wiki and then tell me you wish that happened to you.

Here in the U.S. we just refer to that as being Salary

What a mighty white power rant ..

limiting press freedom, undermining judicial independence, targeting independent nongovernmental groups, encouraging racist and anti-Semitic conspiracies and cracking down on the Central European University, an institution founded by Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros. This is why Trump loves him he has a mini me...

Illiberal Christian Democracy will solve all the ills.
All depends on how you read the statistics and if you value your freedom.
Freedom has it's price and it's not for wimps that need a "strong" man, like Orban or Trump to save them.
The toll to all for them being saved comes later.

leftists speak their own weird language...it's kinda like ebonics but not really...I hope they understand each other

Funny you interpret it this way when I did not mention color. That is simply because it has nothing to do with color. If your observation was one of preserving the identity of the welcoming nation then you would have simply read my words instead of trying to digest them and regurgitate your tired agenda. Instead you choose your typical cowardice and make it about color.

Like I pointed out,he was elected by his countrymen. But you want to tell them it is bad or wrong. What is freedom to you? As far as statistics, I read them as they are presented. I dot make #^&#^&#^&#^& up or interpret to make a case like some.🙄

When the government funds payments for elections, controls the media and limits the opposition, you can make sure you get elected.
Hungary's population is dropping, and out migration is increasing.
Wonderful formula for a successful society he has.

Pete, you need to digest the context. He has served as leader on two separate occasions. The second election came while socialists were in power. Did the government fund his re election? Did he “control” the media at this juncture? Please think a little harder because that is like pretending Trump controlled the media to get elected. Try to be smarter than you are acting. I am not saying he is perfect but he is the candidate the country obviously elected for a reason. Sound familiar? As far as folks leaving the country, there is markedly more folks who are leaving other countries in the region so the problem is not unique to Hungary.

Your attempt at a defense shows you how clueless you really are on the topic .. you hit every white supremacy talking point there is ..

I suggest you do some research on some of the county's you listed who's identity is at risk and how those who you are suggesting are at fault came to live in those countries

I feel bad for the people struggling in their homeland,I really do. And I am not suggesting they are at fault. This is a political spoof that burdened formerly peaceful countries,very simple. I suggest you get off the spineless lefty propaganda and do the research. Go to Brussels, Stockholm,Paris or Munich and talk to some locals about how their safety and way of life have forever changed because it is not for the better. Remove the blindfold and try reality. When you open your doors and invite anybody who wants to come without a vetting process, and you think they will acclimate...you are sorely mistaken. This has nothing to do with color or your chicken little talking points. You won’t be pressing 1 to speak Hungarian in Budapest.

He came back because the other party was more of a mess, doesn't make him good just less #^&#^&#^&#^&ty, like Trump and Clinton, pick your pile.
He now has consolidated his control of the media, political power and is growing a kleptocracy. Look a little harder.

What is your evidence that Orbán is in it for personal gain?

keep regurgitating the Rights Talking points from the fear of mexicans and fear of invasion
here in the USA and stick it on europe the same Right parties spread the same fear and misinformation

Trump’s comments on European immigration mirror white nationalist rhetoric

The argument — that immigration changes existing “culture” for the worse — is a staple of white nationalist rhetoric in the United States.


I was in Munich 2014 at the height of the migrants crisis.. for octoberfest most northbound trains from salzburg were canceled I saw none of the fear your promoting and going to paris and england all with a long history of having immigrants most from their colony days

When you say this has nothing to do with Color or religion.. your just allowing yourself to be blinded by Nationalism as if its a benign Idea

PS More Portuguese than any other nationality: Eight percent of France’s migrant population in 2012 was born in Portugal, little fall river i Guess

and who riots every saturday in France that's right the french over gas prices ... but those pesky immigrants

Right. The protests . . . why are you referring to protests as riots? Oh yeah, probably a talking point . . . if it's from the "Left" it's just "protests" . . . if its from the "Right" it's "riots."

And, oh yea, they're just about gas prices. Even though Macron has tried to economically bribe the "yellow vests" but they still persist.

That settles it,you are either a fool or a Republican plant. I think I know which but I don’t want to hurt your feelings. Take a look at the increase in crime in all the countries YOU mentioned. Haha . ANd I am not talking protests, these savage rapists have turned quiet communities upside down. Do me a favor and use your google to see how happy the Swedish citizens are with their new neighbors.

.. please keep cherry picking your very good at it .


ignorance is bliss and stay warm is your nationalism blanket .. ps its also covering your eyes

Go to Gothenburg and tell them their culture is unchanged. Then tell them they are just puking up white nationalist rhetoric. Then pick up a newspaper and see the faces of their culture that make the news on a daily basis. But I am the one who is blinded🤡

I have a friend who was married to a Hungarian woman. She was crazy.

Aren't they all

Gothenburg French president Emmanuel Macron has praised the Swedish model as “a true source of inspiration”, US president Donald Trump has used it as an example of the dangers of immigration. So Trump told you about Gothenburg


Gothenburg enjoys low unemployment and a reputation as one of Europe’s best innovators. But foreigners are three times more likely to be jobless than locals (that never creates issues )



The number of fatal shootings in the police's southern district, which includes Malmö, increased to 14 from ten in 2017, while the number of fatal shootings in the police's western region, which includes Gothenburg, increased from five to ten.


wow what a crime spree

Thank you for putting your bias and ignorance on display once again. I have a friend who was an exchange student in HS that lives there. He is not a fan of his new neighbors. Most of the trouble has to do with rapes and beatings of women,stuff that you apparently feel is acceptable. I just happen to disagree. Simple math tells you that murders doubled,but that also seems acceptable to some,wow. Swedish tv reports that 58% of convicted rapes in the last 5 years were foreigners and Malmo has been labeled the rape capital of the world. But that is also acceptable to some. Good for you👍🏿

I guess BBC loves spreading misinformation

Reality Check verdict: Malmo, along with other urban centres in Sweden, has one of the highest levels of reported rapes in proportion to population in the EU, mainly due to the strictness of Swedish laws and how rape is recorded in the country.

The rate of reported rapes in Malmo has not dramatically risen in recent years and has in fact declined from its peak in 2010, before the recent large increases in refugees.

It is not possible to connect crimes to the ethnicity of the perpetrators as such data is not published.hen Sweden took in its highest number of asylum seekers in 2015, the number of reported rapes declined by 12%

So who committed the other 48%

total number of offenders over five years was 843. Of those, 197 were from the Middle East and North Africa, with 45 coming from Afghanistan

"We are very clear in the programme that it is a small percentage of the people coming from abroad who are convicted of rape," chief editor Ulf Johansson told the BBC.

Does an increase in numbers any place increase crime .. of course it does .. I just don't buy the lie that is all the new peoples fault. You commit a crime go to jail where your from is irrelevant. But that doesn't get votes .. blaming the outsider .. that's got a history of success

Oh, I see you're an expert.

No,Jeff not an expert. But Frank lives there so I believe what he says. And he says it frequently. Must be the fault of Trump somehow...or white nationalism.

And you have the nerve to say I am cherry picking. When you remove your head from your rectum it may become clear. BBC...most convicted attackers are foreign born. Hmmm
