Now in general election mode, former President Donald J. Trump is playing three-dimensional chess against a sitting president who can barely manage to play checkers as his controlling staff shouts out which pieces to move.
Former President Trump just demonstrated his mastery of campaign tactics, geo-political implications, and winning domestic policy by inviting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Mar-a-Lago this past Friday for a wide-ranging meeting.
In one fell swoop Trump sent a strong signal to our allies and adversaries alike; fired a shot across the bow of the failing White House, Biden campaign, and the Deep State; gave the impression to the American people that he is already on par with – or ahead of – their current president; and struck a populist message around the world with those yearning for the rule of law, sovereign borders, legal and controlled immigration, and national and economic security.
While many -- to all -- on the left and in the liberal corrupt media dislike Prime Minister Orban – a badge of honor for him – those in and out of his country who do care about sovereign and protected borders, legal and controlled immigration, the rule of law, personal safety, and the need for a national identity believe him to be an exceptional leader. A view former President Trump not only shares but loudly echoed from Mar-a-Lago when he said: "There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orban. He’s fantastic…”
Prime Minister Orban then not only thanked former President Trump but also did something that infuriated those controlling President Biden. He endorsed Trump.
Posted the Prime Minister in part after the meeting: "It was a pleasure to visit President [Donald Trump] today. We need leaders in the world who are respected and can bring peace. He is one of them! Come back and bring us peace, Mr. President!"

The minions in and around the White House calling the shots for President Biden then lost their collective minds. They did so because they knew the sentiment expressed by Orban is one held by many other leaders around the world. A sentiment – and truth – they don’t want taking root in the minds of American voters.
To counter that, those minions instantly instructed Biden to blurt out a laughably fabricated charge. One that not only insulted Prime Minister Orban but illuminated their fear and desperation to the American people. On cue Biden attempted to smear Trump and Orban as enemies of democracy: "You know who he’s meeting with today down in Mar-a-Lago? Orban of Hungary, who’s stated flatly that he doesn’t think democracy works, he’s looking for dictatorship.”
Wow. I suggest Biden and his controllers either read The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights for the first time or reacquaint themselves with the words in those precious documents so many on the left seek to invalidate or outright ban.
Former President Trump is not “looking for dictatorship.’ He is simply looking to win a fair and unobstructed election and restore peace to as much of the world as possible. He is seeking to gain the votes of a majority of Americans. The polar opposite of a “dictatorship.”
Biden’s charge -- written for him by staff -- tells the American people that first, he will be unable to defend his massively failing policies this election cycle so his entire campaign will be about false charges and deception, and two, that he has no faith in the intelligence and will of the voters nor the process put in place by our Founding Fathers.
Democracy enabled by fair, honest, and open elections in which only legal votes are tabulated works best when unencumbered by the interference of deep state operatives; biased or corrupt bureaucrats; judges, district attorneys, or prosecutors looking to put their thumbs on the scale for one particular political Party.
Former President Trump knows that as do the American people.
With him hosting Prime Minister Orban at Mar-a-Lago he brilliantly reminded the voters – as well as our allies – of what they once had. And what they can have again.
