Trump Adopts Strong-Arm Approach to a Second Term

Donald Trump grimaced and shook his head as Kamala Harris hurled another insult at their debate, claiming “world leaders are laughing” at him. Asked to respond, the former president invoked one of his biggest fans: Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.

“They call him a strongman. He’s a tough person. Smart,” Trump said Tuesday in Philadelphia. Orbán, he recounted, has said the world was calmer with him in office. “He said the most respected, most feared person is Donald Trump. We had no problems when Trump was president.”
