Trump finds a new autocrat to suck up to in a video appearance at Europe’s CPAC.
Trump pledged to help his fellow right-wingers in their struggle and framed it globally. “We’re looking to stop a lot of problems going on in the world: socialism and, really, communism if you look very deeply,” said the former president.
Orban acknowledged this tactic during his own CPAC speech Thursday. “You can only present the stupidity of the leftist progressives if you have your media who can assist you,” Orban told the crowd, instructing Americans to take heed. “I know the old ethos of the Western democracy that partisan politics and media should be separate from one another. That’s the way it should be. But my friends, the Democrats are not playing by these rules.
Both men framed themselves as struggling against international communism during their CPAC speeches. Orban, an opposition activist during the Soviet occupation, equated the communist era in Hungary to contemporary American society.
