'Sending this from Coachella is WILD': Justin Trudeau trolled for his post on Viktor Orbán's defeat in Hungary election

Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomed the change of guard in Hungary and celebrated the defeat of Viktor Orbán but instead got trolled on social media as they wondered whether Truedau was posting the message from Coachella. “Hungarians voted for change and a renewed commitment to democratic institutions after years of erosion under Viktor Orbán. A powerful and positive signal to democracies around the world that citizens can reclaim institutions and restore respect for rights,” Trudeau posted. Social media users reacted that sending this message from Coachella is wild. “He saw Justin Bieber set and figured international politics is more interesting,” one wrote. “Complete flex while he was hanging with some celebrities. ‘Hold on guys, I’ll come out for the next song. I need to put out a statement about the Hungarian election’,” another wrote. Justin Trudeau’s social media presence since he left the office has been sparsely political and he remained more in the news because of his relationship with Katy Perry — which started as rumors but then both of them confirmed it through official appearances. They were spotted together at Coachella and that’s how the Internet knows Trudeau was in Coachella.

Some criticized him more politically for “pretending like he’s some champion of democracy”. “Just-in-time from Coachella, the retired trust-fund tyrant tweets about Hungarians “reclaiming their institutions” from Orbán like he’s some champion of democracy,” one wrote. One claimed that Trudeau was less popular than Victor Orbán when he resigned in January 2025. Orbán, a Trump ally who ruled Hungary for 16 years, was defeated by conservative Peter Magyar in Hungary’s parliamentary elections. US President Donald Trump endorsed Orbán who was seeking a fifth straight term. Just before the election, Vice President JD Vance visited Hungary and rallied for Orbán’s support.
