Trump breaks silence on Navalny, casts no blame on Putin reuters
WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Donald Trump, who drew criticism as U.S. president for his praise of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, on Monday made his first public comment on the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a social media post that cast no blame but alluded to his own legal woes.
"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"
It was not clear what similarities Trump was trying to draw with Russia's most prominent opposition leader. Navalny, 47, fought for years against what he called vast corruption in Putin's Russia, ruled by "crooks and thieves."
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.
Trump has railed against a judge's order on Friday that he pay $355 million in penalties for overstating his net worth to dupe lenders, a decision he called politically motivated. Trump also is preparing for four upcoming criminal trials as he pursues the Republican nomination.
President Joe Biden on Friday directly blamed Putin for Navalny's death in a penal colony north of the Arctic Circle, as did Trump's main Republican rival, Nikki Haley. "Putin is responsible for Navalny's death," Biden said.
The Kremlin has denied involvement in his death and said that Western claims that Putin was responsible were unacceptable.
Since Navalny's death was reported on Friday, former U.S. presidents and top members of Congress from both parties also denounced Putin.
But Trump, the Republican candidate leading the race to challenge Biden in the November election, remained silent until Monday.
During his 2017-2021 White House tenure, Trump expressed admiration for Putin. In 2018, he refused to blame the Russian leader for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, casting doubt on the findings of his own intelligence agencies and sparking criticism at home.
Last week, he suggested the United States might not protect NATO allies who do not spend enough on defense from a potential Russian invasion.
Haley, the former South Carolina governor who will face Trump as an underdog in her home state's presidential primary on Saturday, called Trump's response on Monday unpatriotic.
"Donald Trump could have condemned Vladimir Putin for being a murderous thug. Trump could have praised Navalny’s courage," she wrote on X. Instead, she said, he denounced America and compared it to Russia.
Campaigning in Sumter, South Carolina, later on Monday, Haley criticized Trump again over his NATO comments, saying, "He sided with a dictator who kills his political opponents."
Republican former U.S. Representative Liz Cheney, a vice chair of the congressional panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters, recalled Trump's frequent promise to seek "retribution" against political opponents if he regains power.
"What Vladimir Putin did to Navalny is what retribution looks like in a country where the leader is not subject to the rule of law," Cheney said on Sunday.

My only issue with this is in battleground states. If you live somewhere that is in close contestion and really don't want one candidate to win but also don't support the other. By putting your vote to a 3rd party can help your least favorite. When the 3rd party won't win and is pulling votes from both main candidates, this will probably pull unevenly. Therefore, helping one of the two main candidates over the other.
We really need ranked choice voting for this to truly work out.
I don’t live in a battleground state.
I live in Oklahoma.
The Republican candidate is getting all the electoral votes from here…..without a doubt.
Thus, I vote to ensure continued third party access under Oklahoma’s restrictive ballot access laws.
My vote is actually FOR accomplishing something in a state where the electoral college votes are pre-ordained regardless of my vote.
Oh good…the only poster on the board worse than getem is piping in.Really, your own words indicated that if you were a Patreon Supporter you’d answer direct questions. What up home skillet? Just another lie?
You guys should just make out over your shared extremism.
Herp to the derp.Really, your own words indicated that if you were a Patreon Supporter you’d answer direct questions. What up home skillet? Just another lie?
That’s not what I ”indicated” at all moron.

That's why I started that with, if you live in a battleground state. Voting 3rd party is great then. It shows discontent with the primary parties. Someone doing that in GA, AZ, etc... has a very different effect.
I hate that only about 5% (not a real or statistic) of the population decides who the president is. Only votes that really matter for POTUS are in those handful of states.
The really amusing thing to me about this supposed insult is that if I'm the "taint"...that makes you the penis and pokey the bunghole....or vice versa. You guys can work out which one is which amongst your extremist selves.
Good answer. No snark. No Ayn Rand arrogance or superiority . Surprised you had it in you. Well done JD.
Surprisingly your arrogance and superiority complex mean less to me than you believe.
