‘Unholy alliance among autocrats and wannabe autocrats’: Hillary Clinton slams Trump for mirroring Putin’s playbook

The electoral defeat of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, prompting Hillary Clinton to issue a sharp warning about the ambitions of President Donald Trump. On Monday, during an appearance on MS NOW’s Morning Joe, Clinton characterized the election results as a definitive loss for ‘an unholy alliance of autocrats’ and those she described as ‘wannabe autocrats’. 

According to Mediaite, the former secretary of state framed the outcome as a necessary wake-up call for American voters, suggesting that the dynamics seen in Hungary mirror the current political trajectory in the United States. Orbán, who held power for 16 years, saw his party’s long-standing grip on Hungary come to an end on Sunday.
