:This doesn't make any sense either: "In repudiation of Trump's war on Iran, Trump-endorsed Viktor Orban's party lost". It still implies Orban is the [[warmonger]] and the [[corrupt]] [[EU]]-backed winners are the "peace" party. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]^{[[User talk:RobSmith|Abnormal is fine.

::"Orbán had spent recent years tying much of [[Hungary]]’s [[geopolitical]] positioning to a close relationship with [[Donald Trump]]...That calculation steadily unraveled. Trump offered symbolic gestures but little material support as Hungary faced withheld [[European Union]] funds, pressure over legal reforms, and the closure of critical Russian linked energy routes. Rather than strengthening Orbán’s standing, the association increasingly became a liability as [[Washington, D.C.|Washington’s]] wider policies toward [[Ukraine]], [[Iran]], and [[Europe]] grew more erratic and unpopular across the continent....The larger strategic consequence is the likely removal of one of the European Union’s most persistent internal dissenting centers, particularly on [[Ukraine aid|Ukraine financing]], [[economic sanctions|sanctions policy]], and [[migration]]. Hungary’s distinct model of economic nationalism and political exceptionalism, long tolerated but never accepted in [[Brussels]], now faces a systematic rollback under a government with the parliamentary strength to accelerate structural change....A relationship once presented as a [[geopolitical]] [[asset]] turned into dead weight as [[Washington, D.C.|Washington’s]] pursued priorities that often cut directly against Hungarian interests."

::"Being too close to Trump actually hurt Orban. To be close to Trump is almost an embarrassment. Trump has an amazing capacity to alienate all his friends and supporters. He's just doing it deliberately, with the MAGA movement and with England, and then with France, and insulting the Pope, and he's insulting Macron and he's insulting Starmer. He's insulting of everybody just makes himself a ''[[persona non grata]]'' everywhere. I actually heard that after [[JD Vance]] gave a speech, it was a catastrophic fall in the ratings for Orban. It was like a kiss of death."
