(Very few) world leaders voice support for Donald Trump

A very few world leaders are bucking the trend and voicing their support for Donald Trump in the upcoming US election. Just who these people are is illuminating, although why they think that voicing their support might help his chances, I have no idea.

  • Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán - far-right nationalist with dictator ambitions.
  • Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro - far-right populist.
  • Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte - strongman. loose cannon and human rights abuser.
  • Serbian President Aleksander Vucic - ultra-nationalist who hopes that Trump will help him de-recognize Kosovo.
  • Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa - rising populist, wouldn't be anything to do with Melania, would it?

And, er, that's about it. Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un send their love.
