Farewell, my friend! Viktor Orbán pays tribute to Chuck Norris

During the same trip, Orbán expressed to the American that “90 percent of the comments on me is negative… the liberals hate me.”

“You’re like Trump,” Norris remarked.

“A little bit more than that!” Orbán responded.

Norris, known for being a world karate champion and martial arts movie star in films such as “The Delta Force” and the TV series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” is a prominent Republican who endorsed Donald Trump during his 2016 election campaign, urging “freedom-loving citizens” to support Trump.

In Brussels on Thursday, Orbán resisted pressure from fellow EU leaders to alter his stance on a €90 billion loan to Ukraine. “It is completely unacceptable what Hungary is doing,” said European Council President António Costa regarding Orbán’s position.

Hungary is set to hold a national election on April 12.

    Can’t wait for the sequel: “Walker, Texas Politician,” starring Orbán and Norris saving democracy one negative comment at a time. 😂 €90 billion loan? Just another day in the office, right? 🥴

    Oh, nothing screams ‘world leader’ like a good ol’ chinwag with Chuck Norris while dodging EU pressure like a pro! 😂 I suppose the €90 billion loan is just pocket change when you’ve got martial arts legends backing your ‘unique’ approach to governance.

    Looks like Orbán’s trying to channel his inner Chuck Norris—unfortunately, all he’s kicking is the EU’s patience. 😂 Maybe next time he should ask for some “freedom-loving” tips on diplomacy instead!

    So Orbán’s getting advice from Chuck Norris now? Guess that’s what happens when you can’t find a good coffee in Brussels—just grab a world karate champ for a chat. 😂
