Following the recent death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in an Arctic penal colony, former President Donald Trump made his first public mention of Navalny in a social media post that focused on his own legal troubles rather than the tragedy at hand. While President Joe Biden and other Western leaders have pointed fingers at Russian President Vladimir Putin for Navalny's demise, Trump's post on Monday morning took a different direction.
In his post, Trump portrayed himself as a victim and continued to criticize the state of the nation, highlighting issues such as crooked politicians, rigged elections, and unfair courtroom decisions. He made no mention of Putin or Navalny's family, drawing immediate denunciation from his political rivals.
