Daily Show star mocks Trump for comparing himself to Alexei Navalny

The Daily Show host Desi Lydic has mocked Donald Trump for his “disgusting” comparison of himself to the late Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny.

Lydic attacked Mr Trump for “making it about himself” after the one-term president posted an essay on Truth Social titled ‘Biden:Trump::Putin:Navalny.”

The post included a line which read, “Alexei Navalny’s untimely death shines a light on the Left’s lawfare on Trump.”

However, Lydic thought that to compare Navalny with Trump was “unacceptable.”

“Navalny sacrificed his life for democracy. Donald Trump tried to sacrifice Mike Pence’s life to kill democracy,” she said on the show, referring to chants by Trump supporters calling for the former vice president to be hung on January 6.

Mr Trump has also dropped other Navalny comparisons following the opposition leader’s death, saying that being hit with the $350m judgment in his New York fraud case was a “form of Navalny.”

However, despite his busy schedule of paying his recent judgements, enduring more court cases, all the while keeping up his presidential campaign, Trump has made the time to create a new merchandise line, that includes a pair of $399 gold sneakers.

Mr Trump launched the high-tops, which come emblazoned with a ‘T’ and wrapped in the United States flag around the ankle, at SneakerCon on Saturday.

“Finally,” Lydic said. “A sneaker that won’t make me feel bad when I accidentally step in s***.”

While Trump was comparing himself to Russian dissidents and created his own footwear line out of the blue, his Republican rival Nikki Haley has been busy
