The man Trump wishes he was

Donald Trump’s leadership role model has once again poisoned the opposition leader and then denied him medical treatment for a day:

Aleksei A. Navalny, who had been in a coma since Thursday, was flown from the Siberian city of Omsk to Berlin on a Challenger 604 air ambulance arranged by the foundation of a movie producer based in the German capital. The evacuation came after a team of German doctors, who had arrived in Omsk on the air ambulance, stated unequivocally on Friday that it was safe for him to travel.

Mr. Navalny’s personal doctor, Anastasia Vasilyeva, said in an interview Friday that she believed the Russian authorities had tried to delay his departure long enough for the poison in his system to diminish and become difficult or impossible to identify.

Mr. Navalny fell suddenly and violently ill on Thursday on a flight to Moscow from another Siberian city, Tomsk, where he had met with local opposition candidates. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Omsk, which was nearby.

After Mr. Navalny’s arrival at the hospital in Omsk, his family and associates were bitterly critical of the authorities, who refused to release detailed information on his condition, denied he had been poisoned and contended that he was too unstable medically for travel.

The daylong refusal to allow Mr. Navalny’s transfer was effectively “an attempt on his life” being carried out by “doctors and the deceitful authorities that have authorized it,” Mr. Navalny’s spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, said.

Seems like this guy ratfucking American elections is pretty bad, I dunno.
