Dear Mr.
President, Invite the victorious Orban to the White House by

It really came down to one issue—immigration. Are you listening Donald?

Yesterday
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban won for Europe (although most countries
don’t know it) an astounding election victory for Western Civilization.
If President Trump wanted to
put icing on his recent immigration control cake, he should invite Orban to the
White House and give him a lavish state dinner. Such a move would turn the
whole world on its head!
Heck, use the occasion to
kick start a discussion about dumping the 1951 UN Refugee Convention. (See here.)
There are many stories about
Orban’s win, but Politico is
a good choice to quote since they can’t control their animus (in supposed news
reporting!) toward the man and what he stands for!
Orbán wins landslide to secure third straight term
BUDAPEST — Viktor Orbán’s
right-wing Fidesz party won a landslide victory in Hungary’s general election
on Sunday, setting the stage for the prime minister to pursue his nationalistic
vision and fight more battles with Brussels.
The result gives Orbán a
third consecutive term as prime minister and a strong platform from which to
further rail against migrants and Muslims, stage crackdowns on NGOs and mount
strong resistance to greater EU integration.
More clashes between Budapest
and EU institutions, particularly the European Commission and European
Parliament, look assured. Orbán opposed a Commission plan to distribute
migrants around the bloc while the Parliament has voted to put Hungary on a
path toward censure for backsliding on democratic standards.
The election result will also
likely embolden far-right parties and populists across Europe inspired by
Orbán.
Orbán, who built a fence
on Hungary’s southern border during the 2015 migration crisis, constructed his
election campaign around strong a strong nationalist and anti-migrant message.
The U.N. human rights chief earlier this year branded him a racist.
But a senior Fidesz official
said the anti-migrant message was key. “It is simply the fear of migrants.
Fidesz did a single-issue campaign and it was successful,” said the official,
speaking on condition of anonymity.
Contact the
White House! and tell the President to invite the victorious Orban to his
home—the White House or
Mar a Lago!
