Trump said: “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country’s so innocent?

I agree with this statement.

Is there some other way to interpret this other than Trump created a moral equivalence between killings in Soviet/Putin Russia and the USA?

Utter balderdash. Stuff and nonsense. If he HAD made an ACTUAL moral equivilent, I might see your point, but you INFER he was referring to Stalin's genocide of his own people and trying to equate it with the scattering of killing America has done (very seldomly against it's own people!)

Jeez, this is some Concern Troll shit, right here.

Ok to what was Trump referring?

This clearly was moral equivalence between a largely good USA and a mostly bad Russia.
