Apparently, Donald Trump has more enemies than just Rosie O’Donnell. A Ukrainian website released a list of the country's alleged foes on Thursday and The Donald made an appearance in the top 10, snagging the number nine spot. The list categorized Trump as a "Kremlin agent," which means he is seen as a supporter of Russia in international affairs. Trump's comments in a June interview with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly, in which Trump said that he thinks he could work well with Russian President Vladimir Putin, likely prompted the rating. "He's got a tremendous popularity in Russia, they love what he’s doing, they love what he represents," Trump said in the interview. "I was over in Moscow two years ago and I will tell you: You can get along with those people and get along with them well. You can make deals with those people. Obama can't."
The website's "enemy list” quickly garnered widespread attention in Ukraine, but was taken down soon after being published. Alongside Trump's categorization as one of the "agents of the Kremlin Worldwide," others were called "enemies," "traitors," and "separatists" and were rated by the level of threat they posed to Ukraine. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, and actor Steven Segal were also on the list. Notable omission: Vladimir Putin.
