From The New York Times:
Influential swaths of the American right have for years looked to Hungary for inspiration. When Tucker Carlson was still on Fox News, he broadcast from Budapest for a week in 2021 and called Hungary a place “with a lot of lessons for the rest of us.” The Conservative Political Action Conference gave Mr. Orban a speaking slot at its 2022 gathering and started CPAC Hungary. Matt Schlapp, a staunch Trump ally and CPAC chairman, downplayed the idea that Mr. Orban’s loss was a warning sign for Mr. Trump.
“I think this has zero impact on American politics,” Mr. Schlapp said. But he allowed that there could be some similarities. “Are there similar themes that we’re seeing in the American elections?” he asked. “Yes.”
