Trump to appoint his ex-advisor of Hungarian origins to an important position

CNN says that Gorka’s knowledge on the field of international security and terrorism is limited. Furthermore, he does not speak Arabic, knows very little about Muslim countries, and has never had any official leadership or management role in foreign policy, intelligence, or the military.

Even so, Gorka was and remained

one of the biggest supporters of controversial presidential actions

and defended Trump’s policies and public statements many times in the last few years. But nobody knows what he has been doing since he did not play a role in policymaking and was not a member of the National Security Council.

Interestingly, in 2015, Gorka paid 8,000 dollars to become a policy consultant for the Trump campaign. That is when their shared history began. Gorka was born in Britain from Hungarian parents and was known for his dire warnings of Islamic terrorism while he worked at Breitbart.

In 2018, it came to light that

he was still wanted by the Hungarian police

because of suspicion of firearm offences, Index said. Interestingly, while he was an active member of the White House staff, he met Hungarian foreign minister Péter Szijjártó, but the minister did not know about that. Gorka likes firearms and said many times that he does not leave his house without a smaller arsenal of them. A couple of days after the scandal broke out, the Hungarian police cancelled the search saying that they can expect no outcome regarding the issue.
