The person he rescued said than you. That is enough. Who cares what his father says. Everyone knows he is a fool. Trump is president. He should have gotten a U.S. citizen freed from a communist country.
A guy at work got fired. Drugs, absenteeism. Would not acknowledge he was lucky when they didn’t fire him the 1st time.
It wasn’t like they were detained for no reason in a communist country. Video exists of them stealing. BTW, who goes to a foreign country to commit a crime? That tells me they steal all the time.
NEVER COMPROMISE WITH LIBERALS!!! NEVER!! NEVER!!!
(ref: see parable of the scorpion ad the frog).
Imagine the backlash & bad PR for China had they done that? LOL
It's strange how Mexico will protect it's citizens outside the country, but the U.S. usually doesn't.
And just so you know, it's not like I don't think any U.S. citizen should punished for murders outside our borders. I think Amanda Knox should be rotting in an Italian prison. But she murdered someone, and Italy has a relatively civilized justice system.
In many Middle Eastern countries they could’ve had their hands lopped off.
Would you be okay with that happening to a U.S. citizen?
You don’t agree that Singapore is free to use a cane on a malefactor?
Singapore also executed an Australian drug trafficker who was of Vietnamese extraction. They were free to do that. But here in the U.S. we don't believe in executing drug traffickers, although maybe sometimes we wish we could punish them more severely.

If that is the standard punishment for the crime, absolutely.
What gives ‘US’ the right to flaunt local laws.
When I made my first trip to Japan in 1957, courtesy of the USN, they made it a point of informing the crew of what behavior was expected of us and the warning that certain crimes carried different punishments than were ‘used to’.
They also warned us to not eat the vegetables as the Japanese were using human fertilizer.
A lesson my father taught me when I was young - don’t expect gratitude for good deeds and you’ll never be disappointed. The deed is worth doing for its own sake.
Yes. I spent a business career overseas. Different country, different laws. In Saudi Arabia, the place you're referring to, the saying used to go that you could leave a diamond ring on a restaurant table and when you came back an hour later it'd still be there.
These pampered scum committed theft and if the full weight of the local law was enforced I'd have no problem with it at all. Trumped up charges or persecution because they're American would be a different matter.
Never accuse a left wing air head of having a bulb for his chandelier!
That would be rasis!
This idiot just communicated to the world it is acceptable to steal.
Typical BLM/Black Panther type
Never wrestle with a pig - you’ll both get dirty and the pig will LIKE it.
The President seems to have a pathological need to not only win but a desire to grind the faces or those who oppose him into their own excrement. Yet this vindictiveness is precisely the reason Trump appeals to the Deplorables. It is our outlet to fight back at the injustices leveled against us by the Progressives.
...”A lesson my father taught me when I was young - dont expect gratitude for good deeds and youll never be disappointed. The deed is worth doing for its own sake.”...
This is a good thought to follow. President Trump did the right thing. The father of that player who thinks it is OK to steal was the subject of a conversation which took place in a group I was in last week. The comments about the father were not favorable, to say the least. Evidently, he has his own reputation.
