Im sure Trump doesnt know and doesnt care, said Jim Townsend, who has worked at both the Pentagon and NATO and is now an analyst with the Center for a New American Security. Trump likes Orban and probably thinks hes doing him a solid. Also, Putin is an Orban friend. Most of the world would not consider Budapest neutral ground for such a meeting but I guess Trump and Putin do.

In response to HuffPosts query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, Your mom did, and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: Your mom.

(297,940 posts)The entire planet sees that pro white supremacy, pro oligarchs, pro impunity for rapists, other criminals and pro authoritarian governments are his chosen friends.
That he is allowed to violate international law in Venezuela and elsewhere in the name of democracy is hysterically funny.

(6,159 posts)I don't see how this is a good thing for Putin.
Sure it may feel like a home field advantage.
But surely it does not help him when every single bit of news coverage will use the connection to remind people that he had agreed never to invade Ukraine. And it just makes it harder for Trump to gaslight people about who's fault this is.
Seems like a tactical blunder to me even if you overlook the childish playground taunts.
