Putin isn’t who Trump modeled his political identity after, arguably it was Orbán. Why? Bc Orbán came in 16 years ago and gutted democratic institutions, such as the judiciary, suppressed the media then centralized power. Sounds familiar?

Hey folks, I’m sharing the top 5 things I’m keeping my eye on around the world. See you in the comments.

Nah, I say these things all the time. These two know me, especially Lauren. Maybe some folks in the audience might hv been uncomfortable. If so, they didn’t express it.
