ER Editor: The paranoid reaction on Twitter / X to this meeting is most interesting, suggesting the trolls have been at work.
The meeting at Mar-a-Lago happened on Friday evening; Biden’s SOTU speech took place the night before.
Some non-paranoid tweets —

Viktor Orbán and Javier Milei traveled to America to meet with President Trump.
They did not meet with Joe Biden and they have zero fear of any repercussions.
The significance here cannot be understated.

Donald Trump hosts Viktor Orban at Mar-a-Lago, praises Hungary PM as ‘fantastic leader’
SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
Former US president Donald Trump praised Viktor Orban as a “fantastic leader” while poking fun at criticism of the Hungarian prime minister’s self-proclaimed illiberal tendencies as the two populist leaders met on Friday at Mar-a-Lago.
Orban “is a non-controversial figure because he says, ‘this is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it,” Trump joked to a room full of attendees at his Florida resort, according to video of the event posted by Orban on Instagram. “Right? He’s the boss. No – he’s a great leader, fantastic leader.”
Trump feted Orban with a tour of his residence, dinner with former first lady Melania Trump, an hour-long meeting with senior aides, and musical performance by a band covering Roy Orbison.
The meeting is a defiant act by Trump just a day after President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address accused his presumptive November opponent and Republicans of turning their backs on democratic ideals by blocking additional help for Ukraine.
…
The former American president has praised Orban as a “strong leader.” The prime minister has cultivated a strongman image in Hungary and used his veto power to frustrate consensus efforts in the European Union.
…
For Orban, Friday’s meeting is a chance to shed his black-sheep image and position himself as a potential bridge between Europe and the US should Trump win the November election. While leaders from around Europe are renewing connections with Trump’s team, few have the direct line and air of camaraderie that Orban has with the former president.
Orban’s government for years has cultivated ties with Trump allies. Hungary has hosted satellite Conservative Political Action Conferences, with another one planned for April, and cultivated right-wing influencers such as Tucker Carlson.
The Hungarian leader, known as a political risk-taker, was the first European premier to endorse Trump during his first presidential campaign. He has also called for Trump’s return in 2024 and dismissed court cases against the former president as a “witch-hunt,” which mirrors how Orban has cast EU probes of democratic backsliding in Hungary.

Many Americans do not concede that Biden won anything. Trump has been and is our president, even though they stole the election. I’m looking forward to him winning for the third time.
