In a recent interview with Fox News, President Donald Trump responded to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s comments about American democracy, saying that he “agrees” with Putin in part. “I think he’s right. We have a lot of problems in our democracy,” the president said. “Look at what’s happened in this presidential election, with all of the irregularities, the mail-in voting and all of the other nonsense that’s gone on.”
Trump went on to praise Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, an autocrat, calling him “a respected man” who “has done the right thing according to many people on immigration”. Trump concluded that “a lot of the countries are learning, and I mean, a lot of the countries in Europe are learning, from Hungary’s example.”
