President Trump with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House on Monday. By Max Boot Max Boot Columnist covering national security Email Bio Follow Columnist May 16 at 3:48 PM President Trump’s meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Monday at the White House had the kind of good vibes that Trump only displays when seeing dictators such as the rulers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, North Korea and Russia. The U.S.
Exhibit A was the argument that the president’s private lawyer, William Consovoy, made in federal court on Tuesday to try to block a House subpoena for records from Trump’s accountant. Consovoy claimed that Congress has no power to investigate the president even if he was involved in corruption. That’s law enforcement, not legislation — and, therefore, out of bounds. Consovoy would not even admit that the Watergate and Whitewater investigations were justified.
Another tactic that Orban has perfected is “investigating the investigators” — i.e., make life miserable for anyone who tries to uncover unpleasant facts about the supreme leader. Attorney General William P. Barr took another step in that direction on Monday by directing the U.S. attorney in Connecticut to look into the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign.
Orban justifies his abuse of power by claiming he is protecting Hungarians from Muslim refugees — who, in Hungary, are almost nonexistent. Trump plays the same game, trying to scare Americans about Latino and Muslim immigrants. The Post revealed on Monday that the White House had pressed then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to launch a “shock and awe” blitz to round up thousands of undocumented parents and children in cities across the country. Her refusal contributed to her ouster.
What crap the Poo puts out
DUUUUUMB
They are both nuts
That DNA passed from Hungary to Germany aboard elephants lead by Ghingas Khan
Trump looks fat and old
Because they're soulless?
Why not report on the records being sealed in the Trump hating school shooter and partner whose dad was an illegal who had major law issues? No word on that from you.. not newsie enough or wrong demographics
Probably because they know stupidity when they see it.
Listen to this BS from the Wash Post. Hungary President wants to stop Muslim immigrants flooding into his, country so that makes him an authoritarian to liberal media.
Frightening
🤮🤮🤮
What is the opposite of soul? Bowel mates?
His party full of high IQs Like this gollam
Little 1 likes sucking His name is G Look at his other bf s Also 💘 putin daddy Bit of stealing always great
Because he want to be one just like them he’s in love 😍 with dictators ways he’s dreams are be “ president for life “ imagine that noo way Jose 👎 not in America not dictatorship here‼️
Trump digs strong men with pompadours and Trump is a leather boy and submissive .it paints a picture.
Why? Really? Why are you still asking?
maybe that's a trick? he tries to persuade them that they can rely on him so they lower the shields....but then strikes harder then anyone?
WaPo hasn’t spent this much type to a “minor” perceived problem since they tried to pin their pal Khashoggi’s demise on Trump.
Opinion: Why President Trump and Hungary’s authoritarian leader are soulmates in soullessness
Because they have no soul.
que ganhe Nova York
Remember the NAZIS They ran and seek sanctuary to Argentina after the war! So I guess IdiotMoroninChief realDonaldTrump is planning a move to either Hungary or Russia to avoid being sent to JAIL!!!
That's a no brainer
Come on now, Trump falls head over heels for any dictator that winks at him.
Such cute babies they’ll make
Because they feed off each other’s insecurities.
And then there were other authoritarian leaders right here in the good old USA who had to read your crappy newspaper to find out what his administration was up to. Fancy that.
I’m trying to understand how this article is IN ANY WAY useful to me.
He has yet to meet a dictator he doesn’t like.
because he spoils the drafts of the bankers
The rest of the world is isolated from the USA, Hungary and Poland.
Ffs. Who would have thought populists are popular eh. Why are people voting these leaders in if they are 'destroying democracy'. You're opinion is just wrong. What's your obsession with letting immigrants into Europe or the USA? Dirty smear merchants that's all you are.
Why doesn’t he have a similar meeting with the Iranian leadership and actually stave off global catastrophe as opposed to this mutual dictator matsurbation session. Useless prat.
He’s soulmates with all the Authoritarian Dictators. We must Vote in a Moral, Ethical, Honest person. Trump must get Voted Out.
Why Trump and (insert name of any terrible human being) are soulmates
“Soulmates.” Hilarious propaganda. You fools are so scared right now.
Exactly, just like Obama and Castro are soulmates! See what I did there?
Invite Jair Bolsonaro to the family, please.
Because they’re both authoritarian immigrant haters.
Because, deep down, the President desperately wishes he was completely unaccountable to the letter of the law. The sad part is, so far, he has mostly proven to be so. His base seems perfectly fine with having a wannabe dictator as the face of their party as well. Very Orwellian.
the same reason Trump is in bro-mances with Putin and Kim 😘😘
This is the kind of headline that motivated me to seek out the 'unsubscribe' button on your stupid website. Thanks for the extra $100/year in my pocket
They have souls?
