Fuck that headline. It was the president of Portugal.
“The top leader of the world’s foremost superpower is, objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset,” de Sousa said, according to the Portugal Pulse’s report. “He operates as an asset.”
And also he defined that term very specifically. He said only that Trump is acting in the best interests of Russia. When someone normally uses that language, they mean they are in the employ of a country, like a spy.
So, it’s meant to be inflammatory and spur action on the part of the US and Europe.
I saw another headline misquoted as “agent” instead of “asset”
Great headline. It’s the only one that reaches instead of sanewashing.
Would it have killed them to say who, though?
Oh yeah, clicks.
Not a bad strategy, tbh.
It is an extremely obnoxious and shitty strategy
😱
This president is no joke, remember his epic handshake? https://youtu.be/sfrbogBg9dA
Before even clicking this I already knew Trump ain’t for the grip. Sure enough he proves 100% bitch made.
Unlike much clickbait, this one is true.
Furthermore, PPD/PSD is not the Socialist Party (that’s PS), it is the Popular Democratic Party/Social Democratic Party, but Montenegro’s wing (current PM of Portugal) is neoliberal, unlike Rio’s wing that still lived up to the name social democratic.
I think every world leader worth their salt knows trump kowtows to putin. Portugal got to say it out loud. I’m buying some of their wine this weekend.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the president of Portugal
No shit, Sherlock.
They picked the ugliest, nastiest motherfucker to keep us distracted.
Agent Fuckfaced Krasnov.
Joke is on you Nikki; I pissed on your burial site. Good luck pissing on my corpse, petulant bag o’ bones!!!
I’m pretty sure the joke is on the US electorate instead.
I was expecting that leader to be Putin like, “yeah, he’s my bitch.”
Xi wouldn’t like that.
Trump is Putin’s, but
Putin is Xi’s.
