Trump Likens Fraud Ruling to Navalny Death, Drawing Haley Rebuke
-
Trump compared the multi-million dollar fraud ruling against him to the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, calling it "a form of Navalny" and "a form of communism or fascism."
-
Trump called the judge who imposed the $355 million ruling and 3-year executive ban on him a "nut job."
-
Trump claimed Navalny's death is "happening here" in America to him through his legal troubles, "all because of the fact that I’m in politics."
-
Trump previously called Navalny "a very brave guy" but said he would have been better off staying out of Russia.
-
Nikki Haley criticized Trump for comparing America to Russia, saying "That’s not America First. That’s the kind of garbage you hear from liberals."
