Another world leader who embraced Trump gets burned

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

George Simion pledged to “Make Romania Great Again” and said he was running “on the MAGA ticket" to become president of the Eastern European country. The New York Times even declared that Simion was the favorite in the race, after he had come in first in an earlier round of voting to winnow the field down to two candidates.

Yet on Sunday, Simion lost decisively to Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan, becoming the latest foreign leader to lose an election after embracing Donald Trump.

Simion tried to adopt a lot of Trump’s schtick, including claiming that the only way he’d lose the election was if there was fraud, and that dead voters were going to cost him the race. Sound familiar?

"We are winning by a landslide in these elections, and the only thing that can stop us is some people interfering with the voting process,” Simion told American right-wing nutjob and conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec in a May interview.

5. He's now gone to the Supreme Court of Romania.

To annul the election. He says France and Moldova interfered and dead people voted.

These pepple have the same playbook. It's laughable but scary.

7. Is their Supreme Court corrupted? Sure hope not.

8. Me too! Their anti-corruption movement has made some gains.

In government at least. I don't know how good their courts are, but it is part of the EU so there have to be some standards. But then again, I look at my native country next door - Hungary- and I'm amazed the EU hasn't kicked it out yet.

12. I guess the Romanian voters are a heck-of-a-lot smarter than the US voters

This also shows that Putin's grip on Eastern European politics isn't as great as everyone seems to think.
