16. At least Orban quickly conceded. Trump is still claiming the 2020 election was stolen.

Since he has a truckful of Ukraine's money, he doesn't have to waste time quibbling over "lost" elections.

That the vote was rigged? That how could he lose when the pools had him ahead an hour after closing? What about all those refugees and immigrants voting and steal their homeland? Wow, I thought fascists and Nazi's always win because they have a mandate from the people. Seems it only those that surround them that love them.
