I see a dazzling victory - perhaps the greatest comeback in Western political history. A huge struggle: they threatened him with imprisonment, seized his assets, wanted to kill him, and the entire media world in America was against him. Yet still he won. This is a great encouragement to all those who believe in the power of will, in struggle, and in perseverance. And it is also a hope for peace for the world. At the beginning of the year we hoped that by the end of the year the pro-peace forces would be in the majority in the Western world, and that we would defeat the pro-war forces. There is now a huge chance of that happening; and if it does, the economy could regain momentum and US–Hungarian relations could return to their earlier golden age. We have many plans that we can implement with President Donald Trump over the year ahead.
