SIMPLE QUESTION about Trump TRIGGERS Lindsey Graham

Speaker 1: Donald Trump recently hosted the  authoritarian leader of Hungary, Viktor Orban,  

at his house. This is a really bad look,  especially since we already know about Trump  

loving dictators and wanting to be one and wanting  to do dictator things. And Republican Senator  

Lindsey Graham appeared on NBC's Meet the Press,  and he was asked about the meeting, and he became  

completely out of his mind. Coming unglued. These  people don't like being asked real questions. They  

don't like taking responsibility for reality. So  we're going to take a look at it. They played a  

video clip first for Lindsey of Trump, talking  about how great it is to have Viktor Orban at  

his house. And then Lindsey is asked, is this a  good look? Trump cozying up to Orban when he wants  

us to believe he's not a dictator and Lindsey  doesn't like it? This is not the type of question  

Republicans want to be answering right now. Speaker 3: And that's better, smarter  

or better than Viktor Orban is. Unidentified: The Prime minister,  

and there's a great job. Speaker 3: He's a non-controversial  

figure because he said, this is the way it's  going to be, and that's the end of that. 

Speaker 1: He's the boss. And again, that is Trump  playing coy with being a dictator. She says this  

is how we'll do it and will execute the drug  dealers. Quick trial. Always guilty. That's it.  

It's simple. It's tough. It makes sense in some  way. The way Orban says it is, is the way it is.  

Well, Trump would like that, wouldn't he? Speaker 2: Do you think Viktor Orban's  

leadership is something that  Trump aspires to in a second term? 

Speaker 3: I think the best way to judge President  Trump's second term is about what he did in his  

first term. You know, Russia didn't invade  on President Trump's watch. Hamas didn't try  

to destroy Israel on his watch. The Afghanistan,  they the Taliban weren't in charge on his watch.  

So here's what I would say. If you're worried  about the world being on fire, you're right.  

If you think, Joe Biden's policies are, lack  of deterrence and he's weak in the eyes of our  

enemies. You're right. So if you want to get the  world back in order, you better vote for Trump. 

Speaker 2: But you know that former President  Trump has talked about being a dictator  

on day one. He said, it's nice to have a  strongman running our country. He's talked  

about retribution in a second term. Senator. Speaker 3: You know what he said retribution  

would be success. Did, you know who knocked,  Trump off the ballot in Colorado? Who not  

Trump off the ballot in Maine? There's a  liberal jihad against everything. Trump. 

Speaker 1: Boy, he is not  pleased with this, is he? 

Speaker 3: I'm not worried about Trump  destroying democracy. I'm worried about  

Joe Biden destroying the world. Speaker 2: Those were Republicans  

in the Supreme Court put back on the ballot. Speaker 3: But the point you're trying to ask  

me is Trump bad for this country? No, I would say  that Joe Biden's policies are bad for America. 

Speaker 1: How dare you ask about Trump cozying  up to an authoritarian strongman? Can't you see,  

Kristen, that Biden's the real problem here? Even  if I can't actually assign blame to Biden for any  

of the things that I'm saying and. Speaker 3: Have got the world on. 

Speaker 2: Fire. Senator, just be  very clear, though. He is aligning  

himself with Viktor Orban, who's. Speaker 3: A member of NATO who just  

voted to sweeten it, who has been sweetened. Speaker 2: Reluctantly, though. But he has. 

Speaker 3: It's not on the  ballot. Let's have a debate. 

Speaker 2: And if you hold  back Democrats, barn is. 

Speaker 3: Not on the ballot. You got a vote  between Trump and Biden. Biden has screwed  

the world up everywhere you can, bro. Speaker 1: You know, I was reading a  

very interesting article, which, by the  way, is completely unhinged. I mean,  

he's just absolutely furious at this law, even  having to defend this. How dare you put me in a  

position to even have to suggest that any cozying  up to Orban is a problem, especially when Trump  

has made clear his dictatorial aspirations and  authoritarian wet dreams that he seems to have  

every single night. I read a very interesting  article, the premise of which is, you know,  

a lot of people love to talk about Biden's been  good domestically, but his foreign policy is kind  

of a mess. And the article, I wish I had it, it  just occurred to me now that I read it over the  

weekend, the article made the point that Biden's  foreign policy really hasn't actually been bad. A  

lot of the concerns about too much dependance on  Chinese manufacturing has been alleviated through  

the Biden administration. Incentivizing and as  a result, moving more manufacturing to Mexico,  

for example. Now, some people are furious about  that. But if you want to reduce your dependance  

on China without everything costing more, Mexico  is certainly a reasonable place to look. That when  

it comes to Ukraine, we've gotten a relatively  good deal in holding off authoritarian strongman  

Putin's takeover of Ukraine without boots  on the ground and with a very, very modest  

fraction of our military budget. That's been  quite good. Biden has shown a commitment to  

the importance of international agreements and  NATO Sweden now part of NATO. The point is,  

the article rejected the idea that Biden's been  good domestically but bad on foreign policy,  

and in fact has made the argument Biden has  actually been kind of okay on foreign policy.  

Doesn't matter to folks like Lindsey. He's  furious at having to even deal with these  

questions, and we know where his bread  is buttered, for lack of a better term.
