Maddow: Trump's fear is palpable as authoritarian peer Orbán is resoundingly rejected in Hungary
About this episode
Rachel Maddow discusses the implications of Victor Orbán's defeat in Hungary for Donald Trump and his supporters.
Rachel Maddow highlights some striking parallels between Donald Trump and the authoritarian regime his administration is modeled on, Victor Orbán in Hungary. Maddow notes that the basis for an authoritarian's power is the sense that their continued rule is inevitable, so seeing Orbán tossed from power so handily by the voters of Hungary sends a clear and upsetting message to Trump, and an encouraging message to Trump's opponents.
