“Wait, what? So you agree Navalny’s prosecution was a gross violation of human rights?”
“Absolutely not. You look at what he did, okay? I spoke directly to Putin, great man by the way, what the press in this country has done to him is a terrible thing, absolutely terrible. He held on to power for 20 years in RUSH-SHA, you think that’s easy? Putin assured me this man was a criminal scum, a rapist and treasoner and everything under the sun, and I believe him. Why wouldn’t I? You have to put these things down with strength, very strongly. You look at what Xi has done in CHY-na, or what they’ve done in the Philippines, that’s the way to do it. You have some guy who’s going to get up and talk about treason? Boom, right to Siberia. I mean they say he died of natural causes, but who’s to say? I tell you, I wish we could do that here. Maybe if I get elected, we’ll be able to, but we’ll see what happens.”
“But didn’t you say you’re just like Navalny?”
“When did I say that? I never said that.”
(Not that “Trump contradicts self” is news, but this one is especially severe.)
(Edit: The above exchange is fake, I made it up; I’m just making a point.)
Is that an actual quote? I don’t see it in the article, and I honestly can’t distinguish between satire of Trump’s speech and his actual words anymore.
Pardon my ignorance but one thing I don’t get that isn’t the entire view of putin is to distance russia from the west, why the heck would you want to be friends with him, same with putin?

Sorry to disappoint, it is fake. I added a note to be clear, since yes it sounds a lot like something he would say.
That sound exact like Trump!! You his speech writer, yes?
It’s a little too coherent imo
