Exclusive - Foreign Minister: No One Could Say ‘Hungary First’ Before Trump’s Rise
Breitbart, Jul 6, 2018, Ian Mason

Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs and trade, explained how the “America First” platform changed European political realities in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News Deputy Political Editor Amanda House.
“We respect the decision of the America people. We respect [President Donald Trump’s] endeavors towards putting America First,” Szijjártó told House, making it clear that, as foreigners, the Hungarian government had no wish to interfere in American domestic affairs.
 
Szijjártó is a leading official in Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz Party government that has caused such consternation among the globalist politicians in Europe. He went on to explain how Trump’s rise to the White House had changed the political situation in Europe. “Saying ‘America First’ was a huge deliberation for patriotic forces in Europe. Because before President Trump had been elected, saying … ‘Hungary First’ was immediately stigmatized as ‘nationalist,’ even ‘fascist.’ Now, those who put critiques on us because of that are a little bit more careful,” he told House.

Saying ‘Hungary First’, your nation first, is such a refreshing feeling. So we like him saying ‘America First’,” Szijjártó said, addressing those in Europe who criticize Trump for his rhetoric. “Who should say ‘America First’ if not the American president? And what should the American president say? What first if not America? For us, it’s obvious.”

He makes it sound as if it's baseless and without historical precedent.  "(Insert country name) First!" is a very sharp sword that can be mishandled.  Nationalism in the late 19th Century gave rise to great leaps in development and technology.  It also gave us two world wars and chaos in the Balkans in the 20th Century.  In this one, we've seen its bad side in Turkey, Georgia, Crimea, and Eastern Ukraine.

And there is always the phrase’s close cousin:  “[name of country] Uber Alles!”

[Fishrrman]

America first.
There.
I said it.

America über Alles...?
Gosh. That works for me, too.

Good for the Hungarian foreign minister.
He has his priorities straight!

Trump promises to mind his country's interests first.

Hitler also promised to mind his country's interests first.

Ergo Trump is Hitler.

Logical. Flawlessly logical.

Recently several nations in Europe have voted in more "nationalistic" directions.

Yet many of these same nations were brutalized by Nazism, and some again under Soviet Communism.


So the suggestion of them being Nazi, if they vote to protect their borders, their wellbeing, is ridiculous.

It is simply a smear aimed at "white guilting" those that want to hold off millions of welfare seeking muslim economic migrants.

Wanting that, is a good thing, not a "fascist" thing.
