Opinion: Even by his standards, Trump’s welcome of Viktor Orban is in a class of its own

By Richard Cohen Richard Cohen Columnist focusing on politics Email Bio Columnist May 20 at 5:35 PM President Trump serves up a daily smorgasbord of offenses. He lies with almost every breath. He promulgates policy by inane tweet. He hires on a whim, fires out of pique and runs through the federal government spreading chaos and confusion as a fairy might spread pixie dust. He is his own Mount Rushmore of incompetence and vile behavior. He is the most un-American of American presidents.

“They do not fight directly, but by stealth,” Orban said in a speech last year. “They are not honorable, but unprincipled; they are not national, but international; they do not believe in work, but speculate with money; they have no homeland, but feel that the whole world is theirs. They are not generous, but vengeful, and always attack the heart — especially if it is red, white and green,” the colors of the Hungarian flag.

Trump took no notice of any of this in his photo-op remarks during Orban’s visit. “People have a lot of respect for this prime minister,” Trump said. “He’s a respected man. And I know he’s a tough man, but he’s a respected man. And he’s done the right thing, according to many people, on immigration.”

Makes me sick when I see a US president stoop to this level.

Trump thinks he wants a seat at the dictator table and he will use same tactics that has all the GOP following like puppies. Except he doesn't realize these guys don't GAF and as soon as he bad mouths them he will have kicked the tiger. Trumpwantsworlddomination

Biden pitches himself as a uniter even as he tears into TrumpFormer Vice President Joe Biden sought to promote himself as a uniter of the country in a wide-ranging speech here on Saturday, even as he launched a... Hugging Joe needs to go ! Biden wasn't 'tearing' into Donald Trump, he was accurately describing his destructive foibles and flaws that have caused great societal wounds. He was also reminding us we don't have to keep enduring the chaos. There's another positive way. And he will provide it with bells on. He was Obama’s right hand man. He can’t even settle with AOC in his own party. So he’s not unifying anything!
