Orbán Out & Trump Blocks Blockade

<p>Marina and Jemma dive into Hungarian celebrations. After&nbsp;16 years of authoritarian rule, Viktor&nbsp;Orbán is&nbsp;gone and the scenes coming out of Budapest were unreal. Thousands took to the streets to celebrate&nbsp;Péter Magyar's win.&nbsp;But what does it actually mean for Europe, Ukraine, and the wider populist movement?</p><br /><p>From there, it’s straight into the latest Trump madness, including contradictory claims of 'victory', escalating tensions with Iran, and the now-infamous 'blockade of a blockade.'&nbsp;As ever, the gap between rhetoric and reality is doing some heavy lifting.</p><br /><p>Plus: JD Vance’s less-than-helpful interventions (chocolate teapot anyone?) diplomacy via UFC appearances, and the internet turning global instability into top-tier memes.</p><p>It’s geopolitics, but make it unhinged.</p><br /><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Youtube</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Twitter</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p>If you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma &amp; Marina over on Patreon, including:</p><br /><p>• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on</p><p>• Early access to The Trawl Meets…</p><p>• Glorious ad-free episodes</p><br /><p>Plus, there’s a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.</p><br /><p>And it’s your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.
