Last month, Trump said Orbán had his “complete and total support” in a video message to the Hungarian Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest.
On Sunday Orbán faces Péter Magyar, a former insider in the prime minister’s Fidesz party, who broke with him two years ago to found the centre-right Tisza party.
Tisza leads Fidesz by between 10% and 20% in most polls. Only the strongly pro-government Nézőpont agency puts Fidesz narrowly ahead.
Okay, what Trump wants and what he gets as a result of his stupid decisions are two different things. Trump lives in a fantasy world full of fake news. Take Iran: Does Trump really think he knows anything about diplomacy, and does he just call them “bastards” to get what he wants? No, Trump and his supporters are just as stupid as you think.
