‘Trump’s actions, like them or not, can be seen as an application of a highly contested “unitary executive theory”—an expansive interpretation of presidential power that aims to centralize greater control over the government in the White House. Trump’s measures, however, reflect the constitutional philosophy of the Founding Father who effectively created the American system, Alexander Hamilton.’
As Donald Trump has pulled the brakes on US foreign assistance—allocated through USAID to influence domestic affairs via media and NGOs in foreign countries, including Hungary—, the globalist elite has already devised a plan to maintain its network without the US agency. According to statements from progressive media and politicians, Brussels could step in to replace USAID, continuing to fund actors that discredit sovereign governments and undermine their legitimacy.
While at least one reported Antifa attack took place in Budapest over the weekend, marking the second anniversary of the brutal assaults that occurred on the streets of the Hungarian capital in 2023, Ilaria Salis—one of the perpetrators, who has been hiding behind European Parliamentary immunity since the summer of 2024—continues to clash with Hungarian State Secretary Zoltán Kovács on X, falsely accusing Hungary of violating her fundamental rights during her custody in the country.
‘Yesterday, we were the heretics. Today, we are the mainstream. Once, we were dismissed as the past; today, we are the future,’ Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán declared in his speech at the Patriots for Europe (PfE) EP group’s summit in Madrid. Over the weekend the most prominent figures of the European right gathered in the Spanish capital under the banner ‘Make Europe Great Again’ (MEGA) to deliver a clear message to the Western mainstream: they are more than ready to take over Brussels.
‘Across the Atlantic, MAGA eagerly awaits the rise of MEGA, seeing in the European right a responsible and reasonable partner—unlike those who have cooperated with and been funded by the globalist elite. There will likely never be a better moment for MEGA to emerge.’
Hungary has been invited to participate in the US development policy review, marking a significant shift in bilateral relations. The US has pledged to end funding for Hungarian opposition groups and revive cooperation on aid for persecuted Christians.
The same author for Vox published the same article comparing President Trump’s ‘authoritarian’ ways of governing to that of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán back in 2018, and another piece about the parallels between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and PM Orbán in 2022. Just last July we reviewed an oddly similar piece by The Atlantic as well.
Some of the largest Western mainstream media outlets have been caught red-handed in the growing scandal surrounding USAID, with POLITICO, The New York Times, and others accused of receiving funding from the controversial agency. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressed his gratitude to US President Donald Trump for ‘uncovering and putting an end’ to USAID’s foreign interference.
US Ambassador to Hungary hopeful Bryan Leib has vowed to hold accountable those who collaborated with David Pressman in his mission to discredit Hungary. ‘Mark my words—actions like this will have serious consequences for all who were involved in this,’ he wrote in a post on X.
USAID’s slogan ‘From the American people’ has become extremely controversial since Donald Trump’s crackdown on the agency, during which his team exposed its most dubious tactics in promoting a woke, progressive agenda worldwide using millions of US taxpayer dollars. Hungary has also been significantly affected, with government-critical media outlets and NGOs receiving substantial grants.
