Trump, the Brexit band and Bolsonaro (you could add Salvini to the list, as well as other leaders of the populist right that have not achieved power but have been close, such as Le Pen) have the same origin: austerity and neoliberalism have pissed people off in most of the West, enriching the rich while the middle classes wane or stagnate. The political establishment have made a good job of adoctrinating against the left (I mean the real one, not the likes of Hillary Clinton) so people have seeked refuge in the populist far right. If different countries share a host of economic and political factors, it's not surprising that the results are also similar.
Putin and Erdoğan are different beasts, they have been around for much longer. They are just good at consolidating their power.
I don't know much about the Hungarian situation.
