Calling Orban a strong man sounds to me as logical as when my doctor said "you have too much of the good fat and not enough of the bad fat".
I know that naming things is hard but in such cases even Musk's children naming sounds more sensible which tells a lot…

Rigged reporting that he is a "strongman". Putin is that. Orban has been elected because Hungarians want him running their country. Screw you TLDR. Take your left wing lgbt crap and stick it you liars. Trump is not undemocratic. Just unsubscribed from your propaganda.

So… as Trump is leading, Orban will become friends with the US, China, and Russia, and he will attract huge investment from top EV and battery companies. Doesn't sound like he's running out of friends and money, at all

Hungary should be thrown out of the EU. His economy is a wreck and adds zero to the EU.

The is an idiotic video, putting Trump with Putin and Xi when it's Biden, Trudeau, Lula are all tyrannical and getting worse in their countries, stop ignoring Leftist communist tyrants in these countries, you're spreading lies. I don't like everything Orban has done against Ukraine and being kind of close to Putin, but like I said, the other 'leaders' in the West are much closer with Putin than Trump. Do better making videos or I'll unsubscribe from your channel. Thumbs down,.

I think Hungarians have already had it with Orban and his government. It's time for him to go. Hungary deserves a new prime minister.
