Authoritarian strongman, Viktor Orba'n, endorses Trump:

 


From Wikipedia:

"Since 2010, Orbán has undermined democracy, weakened judicial independence, and curtailed press freedom in Hungary. 

During Orbán's second premiership, several controversial constitutional and legislative reforms were made, including the 2013 amendments to the Constitution of Hungary. Orbán was first elected to the National Assembly in 1990 and led Fidesz's parliamentary group until 1993. 

During Orbán's first term as prime minister, from 1998 to 2002 with him as the head of a conservative coalition government, inflation and the fiscal deficit shrank and Hungary joined NATO. Orbán was the Leader of the Opposition from 2002 to 2010. He frequently styles himself as a defender of Christian values in the face of the European Union, which he claims is anti-nationalist and anti-Christian. His portrayal of the EU as a political foe while accepting its money and funneling it to his allies and relatives has led to accusations that his government represents a kleptocracy. It has also been characterized as a hybrid regime, dominant-party system, and mafia state."
