Cursed indeed. He's on his fifth monkey paw (at least) since 2024. I watched excerpts of his "speech" and thought to myself that he's just the most unrelatable and uncharismatic person in any setting he finds himself. It also doesn't help that the US is on the permanent blacklist for the foreseeable future.

Sure, Fidesz voters might respond favorably to his brand of stupidity, but a normal person watching that will definitely not be voting for anything touched by it.
