The indictment of Donald Trump has set off a wave of mockery worldwide—even from his biggest fans in Russia. There appeared to be little compassion from Moscow’s state media mouthpieces for the former U.S. president, who is widely considered a disappointment, having failed to deliver on everything Moscow had anticipated.
At the same time, some Russian propagandists are still rooting for Trump, encouraged by recent statements that he was willing to allow Russia to absorb certain portions of Ukraine in the past, and in the future, he intends to stop military assistance to the country defending itself from Putin’s war of aggression.

During Friday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, an AI-generated image of Trump in court donning an orange outfit was broadcast while panelists excitedly discussed the spectacle his arrest would cause. On Sunday, host Vladimir Solovyov and the panelists of Sunday Evening With Vladimir Solovyov wondered out loud if the former U.S. president would be elected in 2024 and joked about Trump sitting in the Oval Office sporting orange coveralls and handcuffs. Or maybe, Solovyov said, he would end up seeking asylum in Russia.
“Should we afford the opportunity for Donald Trump to escape the unfair political persecution in Russia?” Solovyov asked. He then joked that “Donald Fredovych” could be given an apartment in Rostov-on-Don, formerly occupied by the disgraced former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. Andrey Sidorov, deputy dean of world politics at Moscow State University, bitterly noted, “First, one has to earn the spot in Rostov-on-Don... I am quite disappointed with Donald. He disappointed me back on January 6, 2021.” The Kremlin’s talking heads have long lamented that Trump had failed to trigger civil war in the United States.
