Trump finally mentions Navalny, but…..

Well, you know. Not the normal way.

Seventy-two hours following the death of Alexei Navalny, Donald Trump made his first comments on the death of the Russian opposition leader Monday but stopped short of condemning anyone or offering sympathy.

Instead, the former president related his own legal woes to the death of Navalny, who died in prison on Friday at the age of 47. Trump on Friday was ordered to pay a $354.8 million penalty payment as part of civil fraud trial decision.

Apart from the callous self-serving, there’s the fact that Trump isn’t 47, Trump really is a criminal and a bad person, Trump isn’t dead.

“The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday. “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 might as well have said “The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of” ice cream or baseball or mosquitos or Rembrandt. He wasn’t thinking about Navalny at all.
