Former US President Donald Trump made his first public comment on the death of Russia’s most prominent opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a social media post on Monday. While the Western governments have slammed Putin over Navalny’s sudden death, Trump, in his post, cast no blame on the Russian president.
The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination wrote on his Truth Social platform, appearing to link the death to his own political troubles.
“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! MAGA2024,” he added.
Russian President Putin’s most vocal critic, 47-year-old Alexei Navalny died in the Arctic prison colony on Friday where he was serving a three-decade jail sentence. In a statement, Russia’s federal penitentiary service said Navalny fell and lost consciousness after a walk at the “Polar Wolf” penal colony in Kharp, and could not be revived by medics.
