“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.”
The President of Portugal, one of the parties of the treaty of Tordesillas, ruling country of half the New World with the benediction of the pope, top sardine fisher, main exporter of Cristiano Ronaldos, and foremost port wine producer.
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.
Not a single traditional party in Portugal has a name that matches the political ideology the practice:
The “Socialist Party” (PS) one of the two dominant “center” parties is Neoliberal (as seen from their love for Privatisation and “Free Markets”).
The “Social Democrat Party” (PSD) the other dominant “center” party is slightly more Neoliberal (roughly similar to the US Democrat Party mainstream, so PSD is actually to the Right of the Progressives in the US)
The “Communist Party” (PC) love Putin, a Fascist and even their “leftwing” thinking is little more than Soviet Union slogans.
The “Social and Democratic Center” (CDS) are the conservatives which in Portugal means the yearn for the previous regime (which were the Fascists)
Like in pretty much all other countries in the West the Overtoon Window has shifted rightwards, though even at the very beginning right after the Revolution in 1974 that overthrew the Fascist Dictatorship, the Socialist Party were never Socialists (it was the Communist Party that wanted a Revolution Of The Proletariat, not the Socialist Party) and similarly the Social Democrat Party was never Social Democrat (for example, they voted against the creation of a National Health Service in Portugal, the exact opposite of the Social Democrat ideals).
Fuck that headline. It was the president of Portugal.
Would be funnier if it was Putin.

Dammit he is going to jeopardize our supply of Ronaldos
Good. That will drive the price up of all my Ronaldo’s, muhahaha {twists mustache then steeples fingers evilly}
Why are they producing wine at ports, I would think the salt would effect the vines. /s
It’s the water from washing the decks of container ships…
It just means the wine is left-handed.
Relative to the bow

I saw another headline misquoted as “agent” instead of “asset”
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.
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
😱

Unlike much clickbait, this one is true.
