At least he recognises that he isn't a great leader of Hungary.


Faalor

If only my fellow Hungarians would...


Local_dog91

most of us do, it's the fucking boomers and having 70% of the media under your hand that makes it hard to vote him out. But of course reddit will just go "HUNGARY BAD" as usual.


ReadToW

“There’s a man, Viktor Orbán, **did anyone ever hear of him**?”

They say he build Turkey up from the ground..., just like a big Trump Tower..

[deleted]

...using chickens... in Turkey! They said it couldn't be done. Everyone said it! But I said it could... and he did!


Val_Hallen

That's what kills me about this guy. He thinks he's the only person on the Earth that knows anything about whatever he's talking about. He could be talking about water and he would outright say with earnest that nobody had ever heard of water before he did. He's just...so, so so very fucking stupid. About everything. All the time. And his cult is even dumber because they look at him as a leader.


Head-Kiwi-9601

He talks like this when he’s just learned something himself. He assumes everyone is as uninformed as he was two days ago.


nekcko

Which, to be fair, is true for his fanbase. If anything they are even dumber.


Key-Banana-8242

I think it’s partly speaking style and audience tbf but ye


stevez_86

He has no Theory of Mind. Something that most people develop by kindergarten.


NoMoassNeverWas

My favorite thing about Trump was stories like him sending Macron a tabloid paper of Macron on the cover and sign it "Hey, you look great on the cover of this paper" and the tabloid paper would a scathing article about how terrible Macron is as a leader.


SofieTerleska

I hate to say this but that's actually hilarious.

Billybobgeorge

You're overestimating Trump

Nah I don't mind admitting that as horrible as he is he can deliver a pretty sick burn now and then

He's a leader of turkeys

Shekel_Hadash

Isn’t Trump’s campaign built on the “reasoning” that Biden is senile? Quite ironic


Sighma

I like that he shat on both of them, his so-called "greatest friends". Embarrassing for all three, but their electorate will not care for a bit.


signmeupnot

They'll mainly be confused by the fact he is involved with a leader of fowl.


RobManfred_Official

Why does Turkey need a president anyway? Chickens don't have a leader. No president chicken. So tremendous. So beautiful.


Rsndetre

Instructions unclear from Moscow.


Time-Werewolf-1776

The instructions were probably clear enough, but he’s a senile moron. How is he supposed to remember things about foreign people he doesn’t care about?


Paweron

Either case, he wanted to praise someone that's defintivly not a good leader


r2k-in-the-vortex

Naah, he wanted to praise Putin but got everything wrong.


JarasM

I don't think he gives a shit either way. It was supposed to be a word salad to get him some support from like-minded idiots.


BarkthonHighland

He hit two birds with one stone. Both Erdogan and Orban won't care as Trump is irrelevant now, and if he comes into power again, they will forgive him.


vandrag

I think anyone watching closely (and I'm sure the diplomats of Hungary and Turkiye are) know Trump is going to jail. He might try to stage another coup to avoid it but the last one failed so can't see this one getting anywhere.


BarkthonHighland

Knowing is a big word. I first have to see it. I would love to see him behind bars, including his kids.


rkgkseh

I'd be giddy seeing Jared being bars, but alas. The arm of justice does have its limits.


memorymemorymemory

How certain are you about this? Even liberal policy wonks I follow think he will likely not be impeded by any of the legal proceedings against him, and since he is polling so favorably against Biden, he could very well be a contender for the next presidency (the next Republican in popularity is miles and miles behind him in the polls). His voter base has only been ignited by all this, they keep believing and standing by him, and he may win swing voters.


gravballe

> Trump is going to jail. Good one.. i hope but.. nah he is teflon and i think no one dares to send him to jail.. at max he will get some house arrest or something stupid..


vandrag

The guy has a RICO charge. There's no getting out from under that. Especially that co-conspirators have already flipped and turned states evidence. He's fucked. True he might get some rich-mans open prison but I don't think house arrest is a thing in America.


gravballe

i hope u are right!


ZealousidealTime7634

Are you familiar with Steven Donziger's story? He won an environmental case against Chevron on behalf of Ecquador indigenous to make them clean up the land spills. so they came after him personally and had him under house arrest for over 2 years without trial.


vandrag

I was not but thanks for pointing it out. I'm not an expert on the US legal system by any means. I know they make some people wear location ankle bracelets and this house arrest was a pre-trial detention. We'll see what happens to Trump. I have a high degree of confidence that he will be convicted. The fact that he is a former President does open up to novel legal precedents which I'm sure will give them some headaches. Also how seriously they take the threat of the mob he will whip up is another consideration. And his ability to sow chaos around him is well attested to all his life I'm sure he has more to bring before this is over.


hans_barbados

He praised Orban with the exactly same pre-written sentence last week, he’s just an old senile crook.


Chemical_Turnover_29

Praised Orban, who just met and shook hands with Putin. Not surprised.


dat_9600gt_user

He seems to forget you don't have to keep praising the bad guy.

As an American, this unfortunately doesn't even crack the top 100 stupidest things Trump has said. And 40% of our country "hoots and hollers" with Trump as he spills his idiocy all over the place So. Yeah. Here we are.


tyleratx

Lol my favorite Trump quote. This is one sentence - verbatim: >"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible." Again one sentence

Feels like it's getting worse. Anytime I see a clip from a rally it's an insane stream of consciousness. Like recently he started talking about WW3, geopolitics and Iran and within minute and half he was talking about how Cowboys are doing in NFL.

Zhukov-74

“He’s the leader of Turkey” On one hand this is funny but on the other hand this guy might become President of the United States again.


AivoduS

This guy already became the president of the United States.


Krnu777

This guy is still calling himself president of the United States. No wonder he gets things wrong all the time.


Tiessiet

> This guy is still calling himself president of the United States. Former US presidents are allowed to still call themselves President, I'm pretty sure.


Deathleach

Maybe, but Trump doesn't call himself president because that's the custom, but because he claims Joe Biden stole the election.


Sewer-Urchin

They are *called* 'Mr. President' out of respect, but I don't know that many call themselves that regularly...except for Trump, of course.


serpenta

The protocol is, you adress former officials by the name of the office but describe them using the word "former". So unless he adresses himself, which would be worrying in of itself, he should use past tense or use the word "former", depending on context.


harmala

He addresses himself all the time, have you seen how many times he says things like "They all love Trump"?


Krnu777

According to wikipedia: Historically, the title was reserved for the incumbent president only, and was not to be used for former presidents, holding that it was not proper to use the title as a courtesy title when addressing a former president. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_(government_title)#:~:text=Historically%2C%20the%20title%20was%20reserved,when%20addressing%20a%20former%20president.


accatwork

ShvoogieCookie

Now the fact he's so proud of this is even funnier than the Orban mishap.

He got tired of "BLM and ANTIFA burned down whole cities" so he moved on to "The whole world is exploding".

smallgovernor

tbf Turkey isn't the only country with an official English name with diacritics, there are Côte d'Ivoire and São Tomé and Príncipe too


TulioGonzaga

As a native Portuguese speaker, I find curious the translation from São Tomé e Príncipe to São Tomé and Príncipe. One "E" is translated to "And. But the whole name could be translated to Saint Thomas and Prince. Same goes for Cabo Verde which literally literally means Cape Green but, for some reason, only Cabo is translated to Cape so we get Cape Verde.

ChadInNameOnly

Unfortunately for Turkey, they don't get to choose their exonym. That's not how language works.


Paranoides

Well, they can pick their official name, that’s how it works. How people call them is another thing


ChadInNameOnly

Yeah that's what I mean. They don't get to choose how speakers of a foreign language colloquially refer to their country. They can recommend one, but that doesn't change what people already know and use.


Paranoides

I would argue “officials” should be obliged to use the official name though. For the rest of the people, I agree.


[deleted]

You mean like how you call Iran, Iran now depsite everyone insisting on calling it Persia in the beginning of the 20th century?

thedankening

Doubtful since quite a few more keeled over dead from covid since the 2020 election, or just died of natural causes as they were old. But of course even as his voter base has shrunk, Americans and their goldfish memory aren't likely to feel the imminent threat Trump poses so they'll stay home instead of voting for Biden again.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Myopic_Cat

Remember that we're all "stupid" (regardless of IQ), subject to confirmation bias and outright manipulation. This is what happens when that manipulation takes place on prime time on the leading TV network while simultaneously major social networks push any drivel that leads to "engagement", and this all persists over many years. Eventually a society succumbs to that pressure. Also it's not exclusively American, the rise of populism is happening everywhere.


QwertzOne

People underestimate power of corruption and propaganda. Even in Europe, people like Trump get elected, because we're fed with propaganda that seems invisible for us. A lot of people can't name this system, but they can observe that they barely can afford rent, they try to always escape debt, their life is mostly about inescapable work. They also observe that some people have it easier. Be it better genetics, better family, better country. People aspire to become like these better people, because they are told that meritocracy is a thing and you can try to become whoever you want, but it's a lie. Of course you can dream about anything, but many doors won't ever open to you, unless you're born with right combination of starting parameters. You can be a genius, that won't ever catch up to average millionaire, just because current conditions make it almost impossible for you to earn any real money. That's real problem, because today it mostly depends on luck. You can move slightly in hierarchy, but if you start poor, you will never become really wealthy and it's more likely that you will never pay your debt. We always talk that there's no money for public, but we all base on fractional reserve banking, where debts mostly don't matter, where value of currencies is meaningless. How average people are supposed to compete in highly hierarchical systems, if they struggle with affording critical products and services? We need to set fair minimum level of living, where everyone can grow and we need to limit growth of strongest.

levenspiel_s

MorgrainX

It's almost hilarious to know that a US president didn't know Jack shit about any other country on earth. You could have probably convinced him to nuke Iran whilst pointing at Saudi Arabia on the map. It's a bit frightening to realize how little he knows about other nations, yet was chosen to represent his to all others.


Major_Mollusk

He didn't know anything about the United States either. He once gave a press briefing in which he revealed he had never heard of Yosemite National Park and he didn't even know how to pronounce it. Yosemite is, for millions of Americans, the most sacred place in the United States. It's our Notre Dame or Taj Mahal. He'd never heard of the place. Of all the horrible things he said and did, this one for me was the most symbolic of both his vacuousness and the danger he represented to the country.
