Trump publicly endorsed Viktor Orbán days before Hungary's election—calling in to a rally where Vance held up a phone, deploying his VP to campaign, and pledging U.S. economic support—then told ABC News he 'wasn't that involved in this one' after Orbán lost. The article documents the same pattern playing out after Trump's Texas state Senate candidate lost in January despite his endorsements: he pretended not to remember the race when confronted with its loss. Trump's denials are directly contradicted by his own documented statements and actions in the days before the elections.
