Trump’s first remarks about Navalny compare Russian’s death to his own legal situation
Former President Trump compared the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to his legal problems Monday, saying it had made him “more aware” of what is happening in this country.
The remarks about Navalny are Trump’s first since the 47-year-old’s death in prison, which President Biden has blamed on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump did not mention Putin in his own remarks on Truth Social, and instead pivoted to a recitation of his complaints about prosecutors, judges and Democrats conspiring against him. On Friday, Trump was ordered to pay a $355 million payment as part of civil fraud trial decision.
“The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION!”

And using the same exact language as Putin's propagandists — "sudden death."
Whatever this is it's not America First. https://t.co/weY8tmdlyW

This is sickening, coming from ANYbody. Twisted, demented, malevolent. Coming from a former POTUS, it is disqualifying. He is awful, Worse than awful. Unspeakable. https://t.co/KAyh1JotBV
