Just days before the first anniversary of his attempt to overturn democracy in America, former President Donald Trump endorsed a man whom much of Europe considers a threat to democracy on their side of the Atlantic: Hungary’s Victor Orbán.

“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,” Trump wrote in a statement released Monday. “He is a strong leader and respected by all. He has my Complete support and Endorsement for reelection as Prime Minister!”

Human rights and democracy advocates have roundly condemned Orbán for his efforts to take over Hungary’s independent judiciary, stifle the free press, attack institutions like universities, and vilify immigrants and the LGBTQ community.

Human Rights Watch has written of Hungary: “The government has made access to asylum close to impossible, interferes with independent media and academic freedom, and undermines the rights of women and LGBT people, including blocking the implementation of the Istanbul Convention that aims to prevent violence against women.”

1. Uh, Donny boy, don't look now but you ain't in the White House any more.

Beyond the sycophantic twits in your "Stop the Steal" fever swamp, no one gives a rat's ass who you endorse in THIS country.

Your endorsement of a fellow RWNJ in HUNGARY---for cryin' out loud!---is laughably out of touch, you arrogant cretin!
