Trump expects people to believe he “wasn’t that involved” in Hungary’s election. There’s a whole lot of evidence to the contrary.

    Oh, don’t worry… most Hungarians that exclusively watch Orbán controlled media (imagine Fox news from most freely available channels) don’t know much about the US - especially not about the struggles of the country. They might see things like Trump meeting a political leader or shaping world politics (like ganging on Zelensky with Vance), but media almost never covered negative things about the government or its friends (but happily threw shit at opponents, of course - even as far as straight lying to smear them).

      I think most people (including Hungarians) are confronted with US news through the internet and through other people who use the internet, even involuntarily. At least the Hungarians I know have heard about a lot of shit Trump and his minions are doing. On the other hand, Hungarian news are not that prominent on the internet, so you would have to actively search for it, which most probably dont do because they watch TV already.
