President Donald Trump denied promising financial protection to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán over the past hour on Dec. 9, 2025, stating Orbán sought such a shield but received no commitment from him, according to reports circulating in the reporting window from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. UTC. Trump's denial addresses Orbán's request for financial safeguards amid European tensions, as shared in new social media updates during this 59-minute period. The statement follows Trump's recent criticism of European leaders as 'weak' in a Politico interview published earlier today, per the prior report. Separately, pollster @honestpollster reported on X that young MAGA voters are dissatisfied, messaging that Trump is not delivering as expected and comparing hopes for him to Spanish leader Francisco Franco, according to a post by @gc22gc quoting Bannon and the pollster at https://x.com/gc22gc/status/1998073560640946585. @honestpollster cited slipping metrics including Trump's strong approval at 53%, down from higher levels, GOP right direction in the mid-60s from the 70s, and losses among Democrats, independents, and Republicans, emphasizing the need for a unified front during this period.
