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

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.
Yeah, the same goes the other way around. Don’t get me wrong, quite a good number of Hungarians do read about world politics, including the US; they are just not your average Orbán voters (not saying those people don’t; but the majority doesn’t). Oh, and the ones that do browse the Internet for news: your average Hungarian mostly browses Facebook where everything is tailored to keep you in your bubble. Younger people tend to use other sources, of course, but FB is still the default social media site there.
