Donald Trump Told Hungary’s Authoritarian Leader Orbán, ‘It’s Like We’re Twins,’
Newsweek ^ | May 15, 2019 | Cristina Maza

President Donald Trump enjoyed his meeting with Hungary's authoritarian prime minister so much that he likened the Hungarian leader to a twin brother, according to the country’s media reports.

As their meeting at the White House came to a close on Monday, President Trump turned to Viktor Orbán and said, “It’s like we’re twins,” U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Cornstein told the Hungarian news outlet 444.hu.

During a public press conference that same day, Trump expressed a similar sentiment: “Viktor Orbán has done a tremendous job in so many different ways. He’s highly respected, respected all over Europe. Probably like me a little bit controversial, but that’s OK. That’s OK. You’ve done a good job. And you’ve kept your country safe,” Trump told Orbán in front of reporters during the joint press conference.

Hey cut the author a break. It’s not like it’s really the news anymore? They just transcribe what they are told to write from their bosses. Bosses who came to the media boardroom straight from the executive branch of government.

Funny you never hear them call, say Maduro, “Authoritarian”.

What an unfair comparison. Maduro may run his people over with armored vehicles but he hasn't put up any wall or fences. They could have left if they didn't want to get run over. =8-O

He’s authoritarian because the president said they were like twins. By calling Orban authoritarian they got to call the president the same thing without actually saying it about the president.

Right out of 1984. They’re robbing words of their meanings, to protect themselves from them. Authoritarian, racist, hateful,immoral, unethical, violent, supremacist — that’s them.

I hope they're political twins. Orban totally "gets it". He is not fooled by niceties and political correctness. He is working 24/7 to keep Hungary free, independent, and Judeo/Christan.

It's Newsweek and they have to feed their libtard readers or the lights will be out sooner than expected.

All nationalists who were fairly elected and don't follow Soros' globalist ideals are bad people according to their narrative.

President Trump is first and foremost a businessman.

If he were to explore partnership arrangements with Orban, Netanyahu and Duterte he would have reliable local partners in Europe, the Arab Middle East and the South China Sea, respectively.

We could call them our field representatives

I’m assuming that’s Orban and his family.

“authoritarian” - is that what you call someone who won an open and fair election in a landslide?

Think about how twisted a religion is if 100 people die from a rumor.
