"Trump Draws Controversy with Comparisons to Navalny and Putin's Russia"
TL;DR
Donald Trump compared his criminal indictments to the imprisonment and death of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny during a Fox News town hall, suggesting that the U.S. is "turning into a communist country." He also extended the comparison to his recent civil fraud trial loss and criticized the legal actions against him as politically motivated. Trump made no mention of Putin and sidestepped a question about becoming a "potential political prisoner." The town hall came ahead of the South Carolina Republican presidential primary where Trump will compete against Nikki Haley.
