On November 7, 2025, Hungary's far-right maestro Viktor Orbán waltzed into the White House, earning the grand title of 'great leader' from none other than US President Donald Trump. Orbán, who's always got a plot twist, aimed to launch a sequel summit starring Trump and Vladimir Putin to finally slap a Band-Aid on the Russia-Ukraine saga.

When your far-right Hungarian BFF calls you a 'great leader' at the White House and brings Putin to the party, you know diplomacy just went from UN meetings to reality TV. Someone get popcorn before actual world peace does a runner.
Orbán trying to broker peace like he's the World Cup referee—except this game has nukes and Twitter trolls instead of soccer balls.
Calling Orbán a 'great leader' in 2025 sounds like that awkward family reunion where Uncle Trump tries politicking again, and everyone just prays for a commercial break.
