President Donald Trump suggested that the proposed prisoner swap between Russia and the United States that would return jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner in exchange for a Russian arms dealer "doesn’t seem like a very good trade."
"She knew you don’t go in there loaded up with drugs, and she admitted it," Trump told the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. "I assume she admitted it without too much force because it is what it is, and it certainly doesn’t seem like a very good trade, does it? He’s absolutely one of the worst in the world, and he’s gonna be given his freedom because a potentially spoiled person goes into Russia loaded up with drugs."
Trump was referring to reports that the United States is attempting to secure the release of Griner, and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, in exchange for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout who is known as the "Merchant of Death" due to his weapons sales that fueled deadly conflicts around the world.
"She went in there loaded up with drugs into a hostile territory where they’re very vigilant about drugs," Trump added. "They don’t like drugs. And she got caught. And now we’re supposed to get her out — and she makes, you know, a lot of money, I guess. We’re supposed to get her out for an absolute killer and one of the biggest arms dealers in the world. Killed many Americans. Killed many people."

President Trump is free to speak his mind but I don’t think chiming in on this topic has any real upside for him.
This is what happens when people visit a Terror State that produces a “Merchant of Death”.
Russia has suggested Bout for the swap. The U.S. hasn’t agreed to anything.

Release a dangerous arms dealer to free a drug smuggler? Makes no sense.
and yet, less dangerous than trading FIVE Muslime TERRORISTS for ONE FAGGOT!!!
Can the Merchant of Death dunk the basketball? I bet not.
I absolutely believe it has an upside!….because most of us agree with him!
GO TRUMP
Thousands of Americans in jails all over the world for pot offenses. Some have been in jail for over 15 years. I find it offenses and hypocritical that Biden will go so far over the top for one LBGTQ person for political purposes and crap on the thousands still in jail. To me it shows the Biden administration despises regular Americans.
I thought the suggestion came from us?
Let her rot here. America is better without her here.
Let her rot there. America is better without her here.
1Give Bout to Ukraine / Azoz, where they can cut his balls off and hang him, in public.
A little message to Putin
Russia is not a terror state.
I think ‘she’s a joydude
“We’re watching a holocaust. We’re watching something that I’ve never seen before, the way that they’re going to go in — they’re blowing up buildings with children, with women, with professions, with people — think of just people,” Trump responded. “They’re blowing up indiscriminately, they’re just shooting massive missiles and rockets into these buildings and everybody is dying.”“The numbers are far worse than what you’re seeing on television. … Many people are dying and we’re allowing this to happen,” he added.
A weapons dealer that has been out of commission for this length of time is totally useless.
Who cares?
Give them something they can be happy with………a spy that has been “debriefed”…..
The irony is that if Trump were president, he would have gotten her out long ago.
Libtards are always trying to spring derelicts out of jail ever notice that
LOL
