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

Please keep trying to interfere with European elections if you're gonna fumble it that bad every time.

I mean, he did kinda leave JD Vance hanging there embarrassingly on stage for a bit. But then he absolutely involved himself.

I mean, technically isn't Trump correct for once? He didn't even do the phone call. This was all JD's flipper baby.

If this is the outcome, I hope he gets involved with the rest of the fascist campaigns out there

Didn't JD also endorse some AfD chuds in Germany last year, only to see their numbers drop even further?

Unfortunately it didn’t help that much. Thanks to the total incompetence of all mainstream parties in Germany, whose members usually just care about their personal income instead of Germany doing well, AFD managed finally to overtake all parties. I expect them to be in a coalition in one of the next two federal elections.
