    He is, but why this orange fuck-piece celebrates it? Because he can turn it at Dems being weak,

    while the same deal would be in the interest of the US no matter who holds the office, as every country is to defend their citizen around the world,

    while he himself could’ve generously freed even more spies and killers without demanding anything back if he was there to decide.

    And Biden’s admin not only negotiated to free their own but also freed russian political prisoners who could’ve been killed like Navalny, who supposedly was in a draft of this exchange before something-something the thromb fell off. I don’t feel like Don could’ve negotiated that.

      He’s literally not celebrating it. This is one of the few times where the media is going out of its way to demonstrate what trump complains about it.

        “I’d like to congratulate Vladimir Putin for having made yet another great deal. Did you see the deal we made?” Trump said in an aside during the rally. “They released some of the greatest killers anywhere in the world, some of the most evil killers they got.”

        Wash down the celebration part and dissect this paragraph. A cheer for Putin? Check. A bash on Biden? Check.
