Trump Blasts Idea of Swapping Russian Arms Dealer for ‘Potentially Spoiled’ Brittney Griner

Former President Donald Trump blasted the proposed plan to swap WNBA player Brittney Griner with imprisoned Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, calling her a “potentially spoiled person.”

Last week, reports surfaced that the Biden administration offered the Kremlin convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who had been sentenced to 25 years in U.S. prison, in exchange for Griner and corporate security executive Paul Whelan, who had been imprisoned in Russia for alleged espionage that he denies.

John Kirby, a White House national security spokesman, told reporters that President Joe Biden personally signed off on the deal to free Griner and Whelan. “The president and his team are willing to take extraordinary steps to bring them home,” said Kirby.

“We believe it’s important for the American people to know how hard President Biden is working to get Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan home,” he added.

The proposed swap comes months after the U.S. successfully traded convicted Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshen in exchange for imprisoned Marine veteran Trevor Reed.

Speaking on the radio program Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, former President Trump referred to Griner as a “potentially spoiled person” for being irresponsible during her trip to Russia.

“She went in there loaded up with drugs into a hostile territory where they’re very vigilant about drugs. They don’t like drugs,” Trump said. “And she got caught. And now we’re supposed to get her out – and she makes, you know, a lot of money, I guess – and we’re supposed to get her out for an absolute killer and one of the biggest arms dealers in the world.”

Griner has been imprisoned in Russia since February after authorities arrested her for having a vape cartridge infused with CBD in her luggage. She has since pled guilty to possession

She looka like a man.

[TigersEye]

It’s a stupid idea. Almost as bad as the Bergdahl trade.

Democrats seem to love letting murderers of Americans go free.

[SmokingJoe]

Send Brittney Griner to the Gulags in freezing Siberia for a very long time, so next time she doesn't smuggle illegal drugs to another country.
Will do her a lot of good.

[oldasrocks]

Did you notice she was complaining they never even read her her Rights?
I’d almost be willing to free that murderer is they would promise to keep her.

[SaxxonWoods]

Get Paul Whelan released first.

Do a plea deal on Griner. No swap.

[gibsonguy]

It’s a dude.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Early in President Trump's first term, didn't he have to fire a spoiled mouthy uppity woman like Griner? Now she is forgotten. The Negress in Russia hates America. Let her pay the penalty for her crime.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Thank you, Miss Swan.

[BipolarBob]

I agree with that.

[packrat35]

The funny thing is, I bet Trump would have gotten her released already if he was still the President. Remember when he got that rapper released from Sweden?

[libertylover]

It would be an absolutely terrible deal. Therefore, Biden will probably make it.

Remember, Obama/Biden gave the Taliban 4 generals for a sergeant who had deserted his post in a war zone.

[Mark17]

She looka like a man.

How do we know she’s not?

[RummyChick]

My guess based on the shirtless pic of her that she is intersex

[RummyChick]

[bigbob]

Maybe they should torture her pretty good, as an example to the rest of us who might be thinking of sneaking illegal drugs into Russia.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yep, I agree. That's a good idea.

[Verginius Rufus]

Since Bill Russell has died, the Russians may want to up the ante, now that Brittney Griner is the greatest living basketball player.
