“Trump’s increasingly lunatic behavior has bankrupted the English language. Words fail. We stand agape, hoping that the latest report of Trump’s mind-bending antics is satire from The Borowitz Report or The Onion." ~ Robert B.

"Trump’s feud with the Catholic Pope is insane. Catholics formed a significant portion of the coalition that reelected Trump in 2024. Insulting the leader of the Catholic Church will drive millions of Catholics to abandon Trump-supporting Republicans in the 2026 midterms." #Trump #MentalInstability #MentalHealth #megalomania #narcissism #Iran #PopeLeo #Orbán /2

I'm celebrating the news from Hungary with some soul-stirring Woody Guthrie: "All You Fascists Bound to Lose." #Orbán #Hungary #Putin #Trump #JDVance /7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwcKwGS7OSQ

"Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime." ~ Anne Applebaum #Orbán #Hungary #Putin #Trump #JDVance /8 https://bsky.app/profile/anneapplebaum.bsky.social/post/3mjd3xdg4oc2l

"The chant 'Europe, Europe, Europe' rising from the banks of the Danube, in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, where Péter Magyar is celebrating his electoral victory, is a cry that shakes the conscience of us all. It lifts our spirits, fills us with joy, and gives us hope that this era of sovereigntism and populism may soon be consigned to the past. Long live a united and democratic Europe!" #Orbán #Hungary #Putin #Trump #JDVance #EuropeanUnion /9 https://www.threads.com/@europeandemocrats/post/DXC_pBPCCeQ/media

"UK historian Ian Richardson: 'I suspect the populist right bubble is bursting the world over. Trump is a busted flush, Orban will likely be hammered tomorrow, Bolsonaro is incarcerated and Farage is looking more like a loser with each passing day. These guys only offer anger and hate, not solutions and progress.'” ~ Ron Filipkowski #Orbán #Hungary #Trump #Bolsonaro #Farage #authoritarianism #fascism /10 https://www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weekend-in-politics-bulletin-7d4

"The Hungarian vote was framed by the opposition as a decision over whether Hungary, a country with a long history shaped by its geography and position at the center of the continent’s cross-currents, would align with the West or the East. Orbán had often stood alone against the wishes of the rest of Europe. It is now clear which side of the Russia–EU divide his country’s people preferred." ~ Elliot Kirschner #Orbán #Hungary #Trump #Europe /12 https://elliotkirschner.substack.com/p/good-riddance-mini-maga

"What I feel more comfortable speculating on today is the message being received at the White House, where the string of defeats is mounting and the bravado of the early months of the administration has dissipated into spiraling crises and internal division." #Orbán #Hungary #Trump #Europe /13

"I have said since early 2025 that Trump is in office to solve Putin’s problems. Orban provides a template. Bloomburg published revelations that on a phone call last October, Orban reportedly told Putin 'I am in your service' - and compared himself to a mouse and Putin to a lion. Hungary’s current afflictions are the outcome of this path and these priorities." ~ Ruth Ben-Ghiat #Putin #Orbán #Trump /1 https://lucid.substack.com/p/orban-made-in-hungary-america-and

"The Hungarian people have spoken. With 37% of the vote counted — results still coming in as this is written — TISZA holds 132 seats to Fidesz’s 65 — one seat from the two-thirds supermajority required to rewrite the constitution. TISZA is winning 93 of 106 individual constituencies. Fidesz has collapsed from 87 constituency seats in 2022 to 13 tonight. Sixty-three percent of the vote is still uncounted." ~ Mike Brock #Orbán #Hungary #Putin #Trump /2 https://www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-first-domino

"The gerrymandered map that was supposed to make Orbán permanent didn’t just fail. It was overrun. Viktor Orbán — the philosopher kings’ proof of concept, the strongman who made democratic backsliding look irreversible, the man JD Vance flew to Budapest to embrace four days ago — is not losing." #Orbán #Hungary #Putin #Trump /3

"He is being annihilated. And the majority that is annihilating him is on the threshold of the power to undo everything he built — the constitutional rewrites, the judicial capture, the media laws, the rigged electoral architecture itself." #Orbán #Hungary #Putin #Trump /4

"Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian election after 16 years in power. … In a brief speech, Orban says the election result is 'painful for us, but clear.'” ~ Jakub Krupa #Orbán #Hungary #Putin #Trump #JDVance /6 https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/apr/12/hungary-election-latest-results-viktor-orban-peter-magyar-fidesz-tisza-russia-europe-live-news-updates

An election where both Russia and the USA support the same candidate. We live in weird times. #Hungary #Orbán
