The Resume

    Middle name is Mihaly
    Prime Minister of Hungary (1998–2002; 2010– ),

Why he might be annoying:

    He has been accused of cronyism and nepotism.
    He is an authoritarian who gained the power to rule by decree in 2020.
    He attacks the European Union regularly but still accepts its money (allegedly funneling it to his allies).
    He has enacted numerous anti-LGBT laws over his tenure, calling them 'not compatible with Christian values.'
    He is the first European leader to be named on Reporters Without Borders' list of enemies of press freedom.
    He delivered a famous speech saying his goal was to build 'an illiberal new state based on national values' citing Russia and China as examples.
    He constructed a barbed-wire fence along Hungary’s border with Serbia to deter refugees from Africa and the Middle East.
    His anti-immigrant stance is so bad that before Hungarians voted on a referendum on the EU’s migrant-resettlement policy, he said: 'We will never, never, ever accept the mandatory quota for migrants.'
    Tucker Carlson was accused of whitewashing his authoritarianism in a softball interview for Fox News (August 5, 2021).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He earned a law degree from the University of Budapest in 1987.
    He is the first post-Cold War head of government in eastern and central Europe who had not been a member of a Soviet-era communist regime.
    He became nationally known after giving an address at the 1989 reburial of Imre Nagy and other martyrs of the 1956 revolution, in which he openly demanded that Soviet troops leave the country.
    He oversaw Hungary's entry into NATO.
    Tucker Carlson and Alt-Right Republicans love him.
    He is a huge football fan and played professionally for the Felcsut football team,
