Sick of ‘judgy’ Obama, Hungary PM calls Trump win ‘fun’
Hungary’s right-wing prime minister says watching Donald Trump win the US presidential election was the “most fun” he had had in a long time.
Viktor Orban says he has “high hopes” for upcoming changes in the US. Trump’s election, he says, could mark an “important crossroads.”
While in Serbia, Orban said “we have had enough of lecturing” and “not being able to express our opinion because we are afraid that we will be morally judged.”
He relays his hope that “we will get rid of that now.”
Orban in the past had praised Trump’s tough position on migration.
Orban’s own government has faced criticism for building a barbed-wire fence along its border with Serbia to stop migrant influx.
