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

“If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,” Trump said Friday,
speaking from his namesake tower in New York on Friday. Thousands of miles away,
Russian President Vladimir Putin was probably “rubbing his hands with glee,”
said Fiona Hill, a former senior White House national security adviser to three
U.S. presidents, including Trump.

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 U.S. presidential election in which Trump is the
presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the United States’ global
influence.

conviction


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 populist, pro-Russia prime minister, Viktor Orban,
called Trump a “man of honor” 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 U.S. 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 discord.



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

“What mischief does he have to make when you have people within the American
system itself denigrating it and pulling it down?” Hill said of Putin.

Political chaos can benefit autocratic leaders by distracting Washington from
key issues, including the war in Ukraine. Russia’s goal is to move voices from
the “fringes of the political debate to the mainstream,” said David Salvo,
Managing Director of the Alliance for Securing Democracy at the German Marshall
Fund in Washington, D.C.

The Kremlin does that partly by pushing Russian points of view under the guise
of news and social media posts that look like they originate in the West.

Salvo noted that disagreements in Congress that delayed an aid package to
Ukraine followed a Russian social media campaign aimed at Americans. That led to
Russia gaining the upper hand on the battlefield.



The attacks on the U.S. justice system from Trump and his allies are “perfect
fodder” for another “major propaganda and influence operation,” Hill told The
Associated Press, suggesting Russia could target swing voters in battleground
states ahead of the November election.

For generations, U.S. presidential administrations have depicted America as a
bastion of democracy, free speech and human rights and have encouraged other
states to adopt those ideals. But Trump suggested the justice system is being
used to persecute him — something that happens in some autocratic countries.

Leaders including Putin “must love” that Trump is criticizing “the key
institutions of democracy” in the way autocratic states have done for years as
it legitimizes them in the eyes of their own people said Graeme Robertson, a
political science professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Trump sees himself as a “strongman ruler” and looks to Putin for inspiration,
Hill said. His attacks encourage any nation — from those with a mild gripe to
the openly hostile — to “have their moment to bring down the colossus,” Hill
said.



The message to Chinese and Russian citizens watching the drama unfold in the
U.S. is that they are better off at home. The message to countries that Russia
and China are courting as they attempt to expand their influence in Africa, Asia
and Latin America is that Moscow and Beijing can offer more reliable
partnerships.

The threat from the “new axis of authoritarians,” including Russia, China, Iran
and North Korea is “daunting,” as those states work more closely together with
overlapping interests said Matthew Kroenig, a former defense official and vice
president at the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security.



Moscow in particular, Kroenig said, will likely try to use the political turmoil
in the U.S. to divide the NATO security alliance. It could try to turn the
public in NATO states against the U.S. by encouraging them to question whether
they have “shared values” with Americans, he said. If successful, that could
lead to a fundamental reshaping of global security architecture — a goal of
Russia and China — since the end of the Cold War.

Some Western governments, meanwhile, are caught in a delicate dance between not
wanting to ostracize Trump as a potential next U.S. president and the need to
respect the U.S. justice system. Others, such as EU member Hungary, openly court
him.

“For Putin it must be perfect because it creates a mess that he can try to seek
advantage from,” Hill said.
