President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa made a harsh statement about US President Donald Trump. In his opinion, the American leader is “objectively a Soviet or Russian agent,” reports Euronews.

“The supreme leader of the world’s largest superpower is objectively a Soviet or Russian asset,” said de Sousa on August 27 during a speech in Castelo de Vide.

Trump’s efforts to present himself as the main mediator in reconciling Ukraine and Russia did not make a good impression on the Portuguese president. De Sousa noted that Trump’s attempts to “settle” the war were not beneficial for Ukraine.

    Note that the headline says “agent,” but de Sousa said “asset.” That’s more likely, Nobody in their right mind would use Trump as an agent, he’s too stupid.

    Regardless, it’s about time that European leaders start saying it out loud. Quit dissembling, get it out in the open. If the cowards that run the Democratic Party refuse to stand up and say it, at least this way, maybe they’ll be forced to respond to it.

    I think Trump is a defacto Russian agent. Trump works in his own self interest. He’s just not very smart. Putin and Americans in his administration that have his ear have convinced him to do things that Russia wants but Trump thinks he’s doing it for himself.

    Trump believes his own and others’ bullshit. I think he genuinely doesn’t understand why Putin isn’t giving him a deal on Ukraine.

    Trump is a real life Manchurian candidate.

    Mr. de Sousa is SPOT FUCKING ON! Someone on Lemmy posted a photo of Krasnov shaking hands with Gorbachev and shortly afterwards there advertisements with “Disband NATO” all over the USA all paid for by the orange fuck himself.

    He is correct. It’s obvious. The people who still support Trump are in a cult. They are mainlining the koolaide.

    It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?

    I mean, for a lot of actions that Taco does, even for conservative dipshits, how is he actually helping this country? Sure he gives cons rock hard erections when they round up the brown people and human traffic them to concentration camps in other countries.

    But how is that helping?

      He’s a fucking traitor. He is being used by Putin, knowingly or not (what’s the point of speculating on what passes as knowledge for Trump?) with the goals of destabilizing US democracy, sabotaging the US economy, breaking alliances that deter Russian aggression, and supporting Russia’s fossil-fuel exports by interfering with adoption of renewable energy sources.

    I don’t know if Donald J Trump is a Russian plant or is compromised, but what I do know is if he was, this is what it’d look like.

    Yeah, I have been imagining recently if I am a public figure, I would run out of patience on Trump myself, especially with revelations on how serious the Trump regime really is on acquiring Greenland. Tariffs be damn. Bring it on.

    There’s no basis to call him a Soviet agent.

    He may have been once, though.

            The bloke said Russian or Soviet asset. You trying to be pedantic and nitpicking will not change the fact that Donvict Drumpf is a traitorous cunt.

              Right, so why cry about it?

              Or is it OK when we call it Leningrad but not when the other side does?

                I have no idea why you are crying about it. It’s quite obvious that when someone, anyone, says Soviet that they mean Russia. Stunningly obvious. Also that lil bitch putin wants everything back to when it was called that so no one -of merit- cares about your ill perceived slight ‘mix up’ that wasn’t a mix up in the first place.
                Just like no one of merit gives a shit about Leningrad. For fucks sake.

                But if we add to the fact that the Portugal’s pm said tRUMP is a Soviet or Russian asset, and not just Soviet asset shows that you’re trying to muddy the waters and change the narrative.
                But it didn’t work, all you did was make yourself look like a crybaby pedant, and come over as a SOVIET stooge yourself. Get the fuck out of here with your fucking bullshit.

                  Thanks for your kind explanation. If the Russians are trying to sow division, it’s obviously not working.
