2024 FactCheck: on Foreign Policy


Donald Trump: Hungary's Viktor Orban is a great leader; he's very strong

There's a great leader, in my opinion, is very strong. Some people say it's terrible to say that, but he is, Viktor Orban. He's the Prime Minister of Hungary. And they asked him, "What would you do? There are wars all over the world right now." He said, "What I do is make sure the American people vote for Donald Trump for president, because when he was president, China feared him."

Fact Check by Human Rights Watch, 8/4/22: Viktor Orban has become the darling of certain political circles in the US. Since 2012, Orban hijacked public institutions, attacked the independence of courts, and left almost no independent media standing. He has attacked the rights of LGBT and transgender people, and banned same-sex unions. He encouraged ruthless and rights-abusing treatment of migrants and refugees and the criminalization of those who help them. Orban's adherence to the racist "great replacement" theory risks emboldening white supremacists.
