Former President Barack Obama rubbed the Trump administration’s nose in its own failure in the wake of the Hungarian election.

President Donald Trump dispatched Vice President JD Vance to Europe to whip up support for autocrat Viktor Orbán, whose 16 years in power came to an end with a landslide victory for rival Péter Magyar on Sunday.

“The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world,” Obama wrote in the wake of Vance’s mission to central Europe. “Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people—and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.”

Here you go.

You can also make an archive link yourself. Just go to an archive host, like archive.ph, and paste the link you want to read. Super easy and then you don’t have to wait :)

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The existing link works just fine.

Hello, friend. I'm not sure what interface you're using, but try clicking the title of the post. I know sometimes on my setup I can miss that there's a link when there's a text post as well.

Just in case it's still not working for you: https://www.thedailybeast.com/barack-obama-twists-the-knife-after-jd-vances-humiliation/

prepend "archive.is/" before a url to bypass most paywalls. prepare to be underwhelmed with the 'article'

Yes, you should have been more clear and asked for the archive link in the first place. Instead you asked for a link that was already posted and then edited your comment asking for the archive link 16 hours later.
