Window washer

My wife hired a newly-established company to wash our windows and patio. The washer, who also owns the company, has an accent we did not recognize. My wife asked where he was from. "I am from Hungary," he said. My wife commented, "I understand things are going well in Hungary." The man made no comment. I said, "Viktor Orban ..." "Oh, he is a bad man," the man interrupted. The man said he came to America "because there are no jobs in Europe." I made no remark on his remark concerning Orban. I am not Hungarian, and although I read news from Hungary every day, my opinion would be the same as a Hungarian who formed his ideas on America by reading the New York Times.
