Interview: Trump is copying the authoritarian playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.
"Trump is trying to break things quickly."
By the time the courts, etc catch up, the federal checks & balances will have disappeared.
Orbán was closely involved in Project 2025, uses the motto “Make Europe Great Again”, & is consolidating the far-right forces in Europe.

  “Are We Sleepwalking into Autocracy?” Trump Embraces Authoritarian Playbook
  Is Trump embracing the authoritarian playbook of far-right Hungarian dictator Viktor Orbán? Princeton professor Kim Lane Scheppele walks us through Orbán’s sudden rise to power and how the Trump administration’s recent actions appear to follow his anti-democratic “blueprint,” with Trump “echoing a lot of Orbán’s rhetoric,” consolidating power in the executive branch and bypassing federal checks and balances. “Trump is trying to break things quickly,” says Scheppele, a professor of sociology and international affairs at Princeton University. She also notes Orbán’s involvement in the right-wing Project 2025 initiative and his adoption of the motto “Make Europe Great Again” during Hungary’s presidency of the Council of the European Union last year as further evidence of the close ties between the two leaders. As Orbán works to “consolidate this movement of anti-democratic far-right forces” in Europe, warns Scheppele, Trump is tightening his grasp on the other side of the Atlantic.
