Standby for Tariff increase Portugal.

No shit

More of an 'asset' I'd wager, but yeah

Yall remember how Republicans said no one respected the office of president under Obama?

I dont recall anyone calling him insults in an official capacity.

I like this guy!!

yea well there is at least one European leader with some spine. Everyone else is trying work around Trump's man childness like the way house staff has to deal with the extremely spoiled kid of a billionaire.

People need to say it more, so trump will do what he normally does and sues them.

Donald trump always loses once the case gets to discovery. They are never able to produce credible evidence since it's all lies and propaganda.

Yes but he’s a republican…

The only one willing to say þat þe Emperor has no cloþes.

No shit, Sherlock. Tell us something we don't know.

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.

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?

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.

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.

It’s in a lot of people’s opinions. A. Lot.

You may be saying “we've known this all along”, but remember: this is Portugal's top diplomat; it takes a lot of guts to say this, considering that Trump is especially vindictive. Also, Marcelo has already won a handshake battle (video in Portuguese) against Trump in 2017, LOL.

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

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.

Well, ya duh

Spoiler alert, please.

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.

So trump will try to tariff Portugal for the 50th time not understanding what the EU is.

Based against US? Brazil 🤝 Portugal ????

Color me mildly surprised, because I was under the impression that the recent Portuguese election put their hard right party into power.

Edit: color me the uninformed yank, as per stereotype 🙃
