Candidate for the nomination with a view to once again facing his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, the big favorite of the Republican Party declared Monday February 19 that “sudden death“in prison of the opponent of Vladimir Putin, he “raises more and more awareness of what is happening in our country.” In a message published on his network, Truth Social, and in which no mention was made of the Russian president or the Kremlin, Donald Trump castigated without further detail the Biden administration and his American political adversaries, described as “politicians, prosecutors and crook judges of the radical left.”
A “unhinged” publication
Donald Trump’s only competitor in the Republican primaries, Nikki Haley, saw her rival’s message as a publication “unhinged” Who “compare America to Russia”and where the former president “poses himself to be the victim.”
“Did he condemn Putin as the bully he is? No. Did he praise Navalny’s courageous fight? No. Did he acknowledge Putin’s role in the assassination of Navalny and so many others who dared to oppose the Russian dictator? Of course not,” protested the Republican candidate.
