    Democrats changed the law to retroactively prosecute Trump.

    Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday compared the $355 million
    judgment against him in his Manhattan civil fraud trial to Russia’s
    treatment of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who died in a remote Russian
    penal colony last week.

    “It is a form of Navalny. It is a form of communism or fascism,” Trump,
    77, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham during a town hall event in
    Greeneville, SC, when asked about the massive penalty imposed on him by
    Judge Arthur Engoron last Friday, which will grow by more than $87,000 per
    day – due to interest – until he pays up.

    “The guy’s a nut job,” the former president said of the 74-year-old cab driver-turned-judge. “I’ve known this for a long time and I’ve said it
    openly.”

    “This guy ruled that I was guilty before the trial started,” Trump said of Engoron, later suggesting that the judge imposed the nine-figure fine
    because he revealed in deposition last year that he had cash
    “substantially in excess” of $400 million.

    “I think he looked at my cash and he said, ‘Well, we’ll take all of his
    cash,’” Trump argued.
