  • By inviting foreign leaders like former Brazilian president Bolsonaro to his swearing-in, Trump is breaking another norm - and US political tradition.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's affinity for populist and strongman leaders, highlighting his invitations to several such figures for his inauguration. Among the invitees are Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, known for his nationalist policies and criticism of liberal democracy; former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has been compared to Trump for his populist and controversial stances; and Argentine President Javier Milei, who has expressed admiration for Trump. The piece notes that these invitations reflect Trump's preference for leaders who share his views on nationalism, skepticism towards international alliances like NATO, and a general disdain for what they perceive as globalist or liberal agendas. This gathering of like-minded leaders at the inauguration underscores Trump's ongoing influence within a global network of right-wing populists.
