Trump's attacks on US justice system after guilty verdict could be useful to autocrats like Putin
Jun 2, 2024

After his historic guilty verdict in his hush money case, Donald Trump has attacked the US criminal justice system, making unfounded claims of a “rigged” trial that echoed remarks from the Kremlin.

Hill and other analysts say Trump’s attacks could be useful to Putin and other autocrats as they look to boost their standing among their own citizens, potentially sway the upcoming US presidential election in which Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the United States’ global influence.

Some autocratic countries reacted swiftly in support of Trump.

Moscow agreed with Trump's assessment of Thursday's verdict, calling it the “elimination of political rivals by all possible legal or illegal means”, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

In September, Putin said the prosecution of Trump was political revenge that “shows the rottenness of the American political system".

After the verdict, Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, called Trump a “man of honour” and urged him to “keep on fighting".

China’s state-owned Global Times newspaper suggested Trump’s conviction adds to the “farcical nature” of this year's US presidential election, adding that it will aggravate political extremism and end in “more chaos and social unrest".

Putin is especially likely to see the latest turmoil as an opportunity, analysts say. He has long sought to widen divisions in Western societies in an attempt to advance a Russian worldview.

Since the invasion of Ukraine, and ahead of crucial elections throughout the West this year, Russia has been accused of carrying out multiple attacks of sabotage and of targeting dissidents abroad to stoke anxieties and sow **.

Moscow was accused of meddling in the 2016 US election that Trump won by creating a troll factory, hacking Hillary Clinton's campaign, spreading fake news and trying to influence Trump-linked officials.
