Did FDR praise Mussolini?

Trump met with Viktor Orban, the fascist ruler of Hungary who has taken that country down the path to dictatorship.  Trump said, “Victor Orban has done a tremendous job in so many different ways.  Highly respected.  Respected all over Europe.  Probably like me, a little bit controversial, but that’s O.K.  That’s O.K.  You’ve done a good job, and you've kept your country safe.”


Imagine if FDR had invited Mussolini to the White House and praised him for making the trains run on time and showing those Ethiopians who was boss.  He wouldn't, of course.  FDR believed in democracy.
