“Hungary, strong country. Run by a very powerful, tough leader. He’s a tough guy. The press doesn’t like him because he’s tough. Viktor Orbán, prime minister of Hungary, very tough man,” Trump said in his speech.

This almost gave me a brain aneurysm. It's like the orange doofus takes two words and scrambles it in a random sequence of sentences while being incapable of adding extra information.

The press doesn’t like him because he’s tough.

Orban is a bitch boy who never gives interviews to press he doesn't personally own.

But even if he actually was tough, it's pretty horrible that Trump thinks that "tough" and "good leader" are the same thing. Pol Pot was tough. He was a guerilla fighter in his youth. He ruled with an iron fist and killed up to 2 million people. That would be "tough" from a Trump perspective. He would tout Pol Pot's strong leadership.

In fact, if you need to be tough, it’s a pretty good sign you’re trying to force something the population does not want (oftentimes yourself included)

Don't forget that Trump would like to "take care of" quite some people, too! And we know what he actually means.
