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.
