The arch-favorite in the Republican primaries with a view to the November presidential election had not said or written a word about Navalny’s death announced Friday in an Arctic prison, nor about Moscow nor the Kremlin.
In a message Monday on his Truth Social network, Donald Trump wrote: “The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me increasingly aware of what is happening in our country.”
“It’s a slow and steady progression that is leading us on the path to destruction with crooked politicians, prosecutors and judges of the radical left,” lamented the businessman and political tribune without mentioning the Russian president.

“Open borders, rigged elections, and downright unfair court rulings ARE DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A DECLINED AND FAILING NATION! MAGA 2024,” concluded Donald Trump with his favorite campaign slogans in capital letters.
Nikki Haley, his only competitor in the Republican primaries, considered Sunday on ABC television that “the fact that he says nothing about Navalny (shows) that either he sides with Putin and thinks that it is good that ‘he’s killing his political opponents, or he just doesn’t think it’s a big deal.’
Navalny’s death, on which the Kremlin remains silent, provoked a wave of indignation from Western countries, with President Joe Biden saying that his Russian counterpart was “responsible”.
