Late last week, President Joe Biden briefly chatted with reporters before boarding Air Force One, and one journalist asked whether he was concerned about Donald Trump meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. “If I’m not,” the Democrat said, “you should be.” The incumbent president went further during a campaign event in Pennsylvania a day later.
Referring to Hungarian leader’s autocratic approach, went on to say Orbán is “a non-controversial leader because he says, ‘This is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it, right? He’s the boss. No, he’s a great leader.” For those concerned about Trump’s authoritarian impulses, such rhetoric is tough to ignore.
