"President Donald Trump endorsed Hungary's rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for re-election in his country's upcoming April 12 elections. The popularity of Orbán's far-right Fidesz political party has been slipping amid his sputtering economy and consolidation of power. In a Truth Social post, Trump praised Orbán as "a truly strong and powerful Leader" who, like Trump, loves and "fights tirelessly" for his country and people. "Viktor works hard to Protect Hungary, Grow the Economy, Create Jobs, Promote Trade, Stop Illegal Immigration, and Ensure LAW AND ORDER!" Trump wrote."
"Trump praised improved relations between the U.S. and Hungary and concluded, "I was proud to ENDORSE Viktor for Re-Election in 2022, and am honored to do so again. Viktor Orbán is a true friend, fighter, and WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election as Prime Minister of Hungary - HE WILL NEVER LET THE GREAT PEOPLE OF HUNGARY DOWN!""
"Under the guise of "anti- pedophilia" laws, Orbán's administration banned schools and the media from mentioning gay people, amended the constitution to define marriage as only being between a man and a woman, effectively erased transgende"
Donald Trump publicly endorsed Viktor Orbán for re-election and praised him as a strong leader who protects Hungary, grows the economy, creates jobs, promotes trade, stops illegal immigration, and ensures law and order. Orbán's Fidesz party has experienced declining popularity amid a sputtering economy and consolidation of power. Trump and Orbán have met at the White House and the World Economic Forum and share nationalistic, anti-immigrant stances and attacks on free press and LGBTQ+ people. Orbán's administration has used "anti-pedophilia" laws to ban mention of gay people in schools and media, amended the constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman, and moved to erase transgender rights.
