Portugals president has branded President Donald Trump a Russian asset, blasting him for his tepid response to Moscow while Ukraine struggles against Russias invasion. Trump has wavered heavily in his public stance on the war that started when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a full-scale assault on Ukraine over three years ago.
While Trump has threatened Putin with higher sanctions and severe consequences if he presses on with the war, he has declined to follow through, often lashing out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky instead.
After failing to secure a ceasefire from Putin at the red-carpet summit in Alaska earlier this month, Trump instead targeted Zelensky, claiming the Ukrainian leader can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.
Citing Trumps soft posture on Russia, Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said Wednesday, The supreme leader of the worlds greatest superpower is, objectively, a Soviet, or Russian, asset. He functions as an asset, according to CNN Portugal.

Afghanistan $100,000 per U.S. military personnel that they killed. That was shameful.
Of course Trump is a Russian asset you can see that in his actions and his speech.

And thanks to Just-us John Roberts redefining the meaning of "Insurrection" and the very words of the Constitution of the United States of America, an active Russian agent has been allowed to return to the Oval Office to again "serve" as the pee-resident.

Normally, I'd say: "Think about that!" But, destroying truth is what tyrants do. It's why they hate a free press.
It's why trumpf is doing all he can to sue anyone who ever wrote anything bad about him. Now he has the DoJ doing his dirty work and handing the legal bill to the U.S. taxpayer.
The photo of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and dip above was taken by TASS, the official Russian news agency. The US media were not informed about the 2017 visit. We learned about it because the Unstable Moron himself spread the pic proudly on social media.
How many people do you know whove seen that picture or the one below, taken on an earlier date in the Oval Office? Again, very few.

I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.
"I'm not under investigation," he added.

And this is the man leading the "restructuring of American government" today winking at Putin at a diplomatic affair during his first madministration.

No wonder Putin, the Kremlin and the GRU and whatever the KGB is called these days call him "America's Gorbachev." Gorby sped up the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Now Putin returns the favor through Trump and his destruction of America's economy, hailed just before the 2024 election by The Economist as "The Envy of the World."
Someone call the Military Police: traitor salutes a general of the nation which seized in 1968 and still illegally holds the USS Pueblo, a commissioned vessel on the active roll of the United States Navy, the second longest-serving ship in active service second only to the USS Constitution.

Portugals President is absolutely correct. Lock him up.

There's Only Commissioned US Navy Ship That's Currently Being Held Captive By Another Country
by Samantha Franco
November 14, 2023
The USS Pueblo (AGER-2) was taken by the enemy during a time when the US military was deeply involved in the Vietnam War. The United States, hesitant to become involved in yet another conflict, left the crew to grapple with the consequences. They endured a challenging 11 months in captivity, facing harsh treatment at the hands of the North Koreans, but ultimately succeeded in securing their return home. Unfortunately, the ship remains in captivity to this day.

For some reason, when he visited North Korea, instead of demanding the ship's release, the idiot "pee-resident" Donald J Trump saluted the bastards holding her:
