"No longer having American troops in Romania seems dangerous to me and I am the only candidate who can stop that," Simion said during a marathon news conference late on Friday which lasted more than five hours.

"We are the natural allies, we are ideologically aligned with the Republican Party, the MAGA movement."

For my non-Romanians, this guy was supporting a Neonazi a few months ago and is a populist asshole.
- Not only did he support the neonazi, the neonazi returned the favour by endorsing him.

"Only I can save you!" Run from this one.
- Read that a cofounder of the party ran away because this guy's building a cult of personality around himself.
  
  My heart goes out to the people of Romania. They've been on a neverending wheel of this sort of thing for decades, unless I'm misunderstanding.

Ah yes, the same guy that threatened to rape the mother of the interim head of the Romanian chamber of deputies. That’s exactly the right person to lead a country.

By ""discreetly"" starting to kiss Trump's ass a little while after he'd win. Yes. We know. Let's stick with Europe, though, please? Like, seriously?

Scaring people into voting for you has proven a smart move lately
