President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama were at odds again in public after elections in Hungary saw the administration\u2019s preferred candidate, now former Prime Minister Victor Orban, defeated by a left-wing candidate, Peter Magyar.<\/p>\n

Before the election, Trump dispatched Vice President JD Vance to Hungary for a last-minute boost of U.S. support.<\/p>\n

But that didn\u2019t seem to make much difference, and Magyar won comfortably, leading Obama to gloat online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it\u2019s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people \u2013 and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law,\u201d Obama wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Orban governed Hungary for 16 years, and he won each time through democratic elections.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Obama has been feuding with Trump and the MAGA movement in other ways, including supporting redistricting in Virginia and California after opposing it in Texas, Missouri, and other red states.<\/p>\n

He also used the occasion of the death of the Rev. Jesse Jackson to attack the Trump administration and Republicans in general with a fearmongering speech that even drew the rebuke of Jesse Jackson Jr., the late civil rights icon\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth both\u00a0took Obama to task<\/a>\u00a0for gifting the Iranian regime with \u201cpiles\u201d of cash that enabled Tehran to obtain the ballistic missiles and weapons that were used to target American and allied installations throughout the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Their remarks come as the United States and Israel enter the fourth week of Operation Epic Fury, which aims to eliminate Iran\u2019s military capabilities following Trump\u2019s claim that the Iranian regime is rebuilding its nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n

During remarks at the FII PRIORITY Summit on Friday, Trump also lashed out at Obama for his \u2018nuclear deal\u2019 with Iran that the current president ended during his first term after revealing that Tehran was cheating and continuing to develop a nuclear weapons capability in secret.<\/p>\n

Trump mentioned the $1.7 billion payment made to Iran during the execution of the Iran nuclear deal. He described the funds as cash delivered by airplane and expressed his dissatisfaction with this action, stating that it provided Iran with the means to finance hostile activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat Barack Hussein Obama, did you ever hear of him? Barack Hussein Obama, he had the Iran nuclear deal. He went to Iran, he paid them,\u201d the POTUS said. \u201cRemember, he sent two Boeing 757 jetliners. They took the seats out and they piled it with cash, like 1.7 billion of cash.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I realized the president is very powerful. The presidency is a very powerful thing when you can do that. I haven\u2019t done that yet. I haven\u2019t found a reason to do that yet, but that\u2019s big,\u201d the Republican leader expressed.<\/p>\n
