Former President Donald Trump gave a bizarre endorsement of Hungary’s authoritarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, on Monday morning, saying he has his “complete support.” Trump said the anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim leader—who’s promoted “illiberal democracy—“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 continued. “He is a strong leader and respected by all. He has my Complete support and Endorsement for reelection as Prime Minister.” Opposition leader Peter Marki-Zay is challenging the nationalist PM with the backing of six opposition parties.
