From attacking their critics on Twitter to implementing policies that lead to the expulsion of asylum seekers, analysts say that Trump and Orban see eye to eye.
In the weeks leading up to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s visit to the White House on May 13, it has become increasingly evident that his government’s policies in many ways reflect those of President Donald Trump’s.

The blog post was titled "That moment when the PC thought police of the Twittersphere tried to have us censored," and it mimicked previous statements from President Trump in which he pledged to ban Muslims from entering the United States and slammed critics for being too politically correct. “Their case highlights our deep concerns about what is happening in Hungary, where asylum-seekers are rejected not on the merits of their claim, but because under Hungary’s legislation, their claims are automatically considered inadmissible,” Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, said in a statement.
The EPP stopped short of kicking Fidesz out entirely and instead left the door open for the Hungarian party to regain full membership once it modifies its rhetoric and behavior. European parliamentary elections will be held at the end of May, and some experts have said that Orban’s visit with Trump could help boost his reputation at a time when he is doubling down on his most controversial statements.
