For 12 years Orban has cracked down on the press and judiciary in his country and reconfigured Hungary’s political system to keep his party in power while maintaining the closest relationship with Russia among European Union countries. This is what Bannon and trump want to see in the US. They want to repress the media, control the judiciary, and keep their party in control for the foreseeable future. trump is planning his special version of Orban's authoritarianism.
