“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.
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.
Fuck that headline. It was the president of Portugal.

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.
