From boasting about his "love letters" with North Korea's Kim Jong Un to siding with Russia's Vladimir Putin over national intelligence officials to praising his friendship with Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, former President Donald Trump has done little to keep his admiration of foreign authoritarian leaders a secret.

But this admiration reached new levels with Trump's most recent foreign endorsement.

On Monday morning, Trump announced his endorsement of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's reelection efforts.

Trump wrote:

"Viktor Orbán of Hungary truly loves his Country and wants safety for his people. He has done a powerful and wonderful job in protecting Hungary, stopping illegal immigration, creating jobs, trade, and should be allowed to continue to do so in the upcoming Election. He is a strong leader and respected by all."

Since his election in 2010, Orbán has steered Hungary's political landscape violently to the right. Orbán is particularly hostile to LGBTQ people. Just last year, his government ended the legal recognition of transgender people (something Trump also considered during his time in office) and proposed legislation that would ban any positive portrayals of homosexuality in books and movies.

Orbán has also called for a racially homogenous Hungary, saying in 2018:

"We must state that we do not want to be diverse and do not want to be mixed: we do not want our own colour, traditions and national culture to be mixed with those of others. We do not want this. We do not want that at all. We do not want to be a diverse country."

With Orbán's rewriting of election laws to benefit his own party, the changing of school textbooks to promote anti-immigration stances, and the crackdown on press freedoms, the far-right leader has executed policies about which Trump raved and sought to emulate during his time as President.

Trump's endorsement was widely criticized.






Some social media users pressed Republicans on whether they support Trump's endorsement of an unabashed authoritarian.



None have responded.

Taylor Swift's Backup Dancer Divides Fans After Posting Photo Of Seemingly White Dress She Wore To Taylor And Travis' Wedding

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have officially tied the knot, but despite being the talk of the town, some people are left talking about etiquette—namely, guests not wearing white to a wedding.

There are, of course, some situations where wearing white is appropriate or even expected, but in many cultures, the bride is expected to wear a white gown, and the guests are expected not to wear white or competing light colors, like cream, ivory, pale yellow, and pale pink, which might photograph as white.
