    Sometimes I think we live in the craziest, most unrealistic simulation ever. Please someone wake us all up!

  2. Aah yes Pinokkio at its finest. Im not suprised JD is the type of loser who immediatly backtracks everything when he is not right.

    I mean, the polls were telling us he will fail for a good 5 months before the elections

  4. That’s funny how Trump throws Vance under the bus. Vance had to attend dooomed negotiations in Pakistan, support doomed Orban. The real FAFO moment for Vance.

  5. He was just sent there on a whim by Trump to piss off Europeans. It’s not even remotely strategic for the US to be cosy with Hungary it’s literally a Trump ego trip

    “We did it because he’s one of the few European leaders we’ve seen who has been willing to stand up to the bureaucracy in Brussels”. As if the Project 2025 demolition of the EU needed further confirmation.

    Vance: goes to hungary, during middle east meltdown to interfere in hungary’s elections

    Also vance: “I never cared for Hungary anyway.”

  8. It’s wild watching him pretend he never really backed Orbán that hard. If anything, this should push people to actually follow Hungarian outlets more closely, not just US campaign spin.

  9. So why did he use taxpayer money for an intercontinental flight + security to go there?

    Delusional.

    I cannot work out whether Vance would be worse than Trump. On one hand he is not demented, or at least he appears not to be. On the other he is a completely vacuous tool devoid of self awareness.

    If Trump dies soon are we going to be out of the frying pan and into the fire? Also can Vance be impeached after the mid terms?

  11. which means that he only went there to make sure everyone knows he is against european values and interest

    “I came to make sure Hungarians also really despise the US. Playimg the long game here.”

  13. Vance doesn’t realize how toxic and unwanted the Trump administration has become in Europe. Even for the far-right wing.

  14. Vance only went there as a signal to Putin that they are all on the same team. An impotent gesture, it just re-affirmed the Trump administration’s alignment with anti-democratic autocracies.

  15. > We went because it was the right thing to do to stand behind a person who had stood by us for a very long time.

    Orban was not a supporter of the United States, he supported Russia. Orban was useful in the way that he inhibitet the EU.

    Trump, like Putin, did not congratulate Magyar on his election victory. This shows that the disappointment in both Washington and Moscow is significant.

  17. “Victor Orban’s gonna win the next election in Hungary. I feel very confident about that” – JD Vance like a week ago.

  18. Vance is clearly of the ‘look smug, act brazen, lie profusely & you may fool a few cretins’ school of thought

  19. This Trump adminstration clearly sees a united Europe as a competitive threat to the U.S.’s global influence. It must be causing him (Trump) sleepless, sweaty nights . Which explains why the man fires off infantile posts on his social media platform in the early hours while the rest of the east coast of the USA is asleep.

    On voit les gens qui ne voit pas les actualités et de ce renseigner sur l’endroit où ils vont….

  21. Oh yes the smell of fascist hypocrisy. We’re seeing this nowadays on an daily basis
