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 always wondered what Krasnovs handler's life must be like. You could probably make a comedic show about it.
You mean Melania ? She's not in this for the mushroom.
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.
And Putin might have compromat on him but at this point it's a negotiation, not a kill switch
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.
Walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
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.
It’s in a lot of people’s opinions. A. Lot.
Probably in fact, too.
The only reason to be skeptical is that rump really is that stupid to be of any actual use.
The only real purpose he has for them is to be a major element of national destabilization. It’s right out of their playbook
The thing is... they don't have to turn him into an agent. he's monumentally stupid and fucks everything up. all he has to do is be president and he's gonna fuck our shit up, if that makes sense.
That's why de Sousa said "asset," not "agent." The headline is crap.
Lol. fair point.
But trump isn't worth the shit in his diaper, either.
Absolutely, they spent boatloads of money and FSB resources influencing elections to get him in power, which is really all they needed to do
*KGB or FSB
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.
