Strangely, they love them even if they're Communist. See, e.g., Trump and Xi, Trump and Kim Jong-un. (Though NK is no longer Communist in its official ideology, strictly speaking.)

I guess we can add "don't make endorsements in foreign elections" to the list of things Donald Trump doesn't know a world leader isn't supposed to do. To be fair, he's not the first one: that's why George W.M.D. Bush fell for the claim that Canada's "Prime Minister Poutine" had endorsed him.
There are bound to be some Americans who admire Orban just for his border-control policies.

"I'm back!" The line echoes like the words spoken in the alien invasion movie Independence Day.
Trump had glowing words when he met his idol, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, at Mar-a-Lago. It was billed as a social gathering that included a one-hour private session with top Trump team members. Orbán arrived outside of regular diplomatic channels; he was invited by Trump but did not request a formal meeting with President Biden per normal protocol.
During the private member’s only entertainment session, Trump praised the prime minister, saying, "He's a noncontroversial figure because he says, 'This is the way it's going to be,' and that's the end of it. Right? He's the boss."
According to The Associated Press, European nations are intensely scrutinizing Orbán for transforming Hungary into an autocratic system. “There are allegations of rolling back minority rights, seizing control of the judiciary and media, and manipulating the country's election system to remain in power.”
Do Trump’s remarks sound familiar? Do they appear similar to those during an attempted power grab in America? Voters, please keep in mind Trump’s words about what he will do on day one if elected. Those words sound like Trump thinking, 'This is the way it's going to be,' and that's the end of it. Right? I’m the boss.’
