Donald TrumpĀ will meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor OrbĆ”n in Florida on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter, less than a week after he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

The visit is likely to fan concerns that the Hungarian leader is working as an intermediary between Putin and Trump.

Trump and Putin professed a fondness for one another during the U.S. presidentā€™s first termā€”often garnering bipartisan criticism. More recently, the Republican leader has said he believed he could convince Putin to end his war in Ukraine and release Americans detained in Russia if he were elected to a second term.

OrbĆ”n will travel to Trumpā€™s Mar-a-Lago resort after the conclusion of the NATO summit in Washington. His visit to Moscow became a central point of discussion at the gathering, where other allies pledged additional air defenses for Ukraine in its continuing campaign against the full-scale Russian invasion that began in 2022.

      Fun Racism Through History Facts:

      Globalist became a dogwhistle for Jewish as a direct reference to ā€œCultural Bolshevism,ā€ the Nazi theory that Marxism was a Jewish plot. One might note the similarity in terminology between it and ā€œCultural Marxism.ā€

      They arenā€™t globalists, but thatā€™s because theyā€™re fascists who want their nations to conquer the rest of the world.

      Also Hungary thinks itā€™s relevant? Idk why they keep insisting on this.
