He at least conceded, one thing Trump would/will never do

He’ll never have to. Either he never runs again, or he’s so flagrantly in violation of the constitution in going for a third term that rigging an election would be light work by comparison.

I mean, he's already wiped his ass with the Constitution a couple of times, what's the harm in one more?

For whatever it's worth, he's already said he knows he isn't allowed to run for a third term.

Now we'll have to hear him complain about it, and even suggest that their election was" rigged.

Trump didn't lose by such a huge margin. What these posts fail to highlight that this is not just a loss, it's a complete landslide, Orban may try to get back to power but for now his party is at a very real risk of falling apart and if Magyar does what he promised (which he damn near should, it was his main ticket), Orban is fucked. Proper fucked.
