They are American citizens so I don't think Trump should turn his back on them.

On the other hand, if the presidents expects any thanks or credit from BLM, media, democrats, or African-Americans in general (all the same group basically) he is going to be out of luck.

They were guests, in a foreign country, representing their school, their basketball team and our country. The president leaving them there and allowing the Chinese justice system to work wouldn’t be turning his back on them. It’s justice, the law of their land.

When we were stationed overseas with the military, we were told in no uncertain terms, that the US would not step in to “save us” should we break the law. The embassy would assure our health and well being, but we knew good and well we’d face that country’s justice system should we break the law.

Nothing wrong with leaving them there. They reflected poorly on our country and their school and team. Time for them to face the music.
