Senior Republican and Democratic members of the U.S. Congress told President Don...

WASHINGTON - Senior Republican and Democratic members of the U.S. Congress told President Donald Trump on Friday they were concerned about Hungary’s “downward democratic trajectory,” ahead of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s visit to Washington next week.

“In recent years, democracy in Hungary has significantly eroded. ... Under Orban, the election process has become less competitive and the judiciary is increasingly controlled by the state,” Republican Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch and Bob Menendez, the panel’s top Democrat, said in a letter to Trump.

They called the relocation of the International Investment Bank from Moscow to Budapest “an exercise in Russian power projection.” And they said it was disturbing that Hungary rejected a U.S. extradition request for two arms dealers and instead sent them “to their freedom in Moscow.”

I'm pretty sure he's really popular in Hungary. Which is very democratic. He doesn't what his people want him to do. Also democratic. I think he might be the most popular leader in Europe. Russia stuff bothers me. But you should paint an honest picture of the man.

Opinion | Democrats have done Republicans a huge favorIn attacking Attorney General Bill Barr, they have unified the GOP against their agenda. On any given day the Democrats never lose. They either have tricks played against them, somebody cheated, or the race card was used, or the War on Women took an unexpected turn or some such thing, and then their allies pick up the ball and run with it. - Rush Limbaugh Actually, more people agree with Democrats on this. And on Trump resigning, too. With a stated 91% GOP approval rating that already seems unified
