Trump is on video saying he'd bring them home no matter what. But he never apologized for not following through.

[Imac]

Why didn't the reporter immediately fact check Trump's blatant lie? Oh right.. fox

[ChrisHansenGotUcom]

Trump has been a bit off lately. Why is he upset Americans got released. Trump promised he would do the same and failed.

[jeremywheeler]

Didn't Trump give up a thousand Taliban prisoners?

[stephaniebridges]

Always making it about himself. Malignant narcissist

[Bobk]

Any deal that brings home our people is a good one. If Putin loves Donnie do much why didn't he wait to do the deal with Donnie?

[youtubecrack]

Putin doesn't want to deal with Trump anymore either lol

[rondagregory]

He couldn’t do it….Biden did! Who’s the better President….

[hellohello-cuug]

*saw this* - 🤔‘Maybe Trump thinks that *there is nothing he can get out of this*, _and so he is just going to attack the deal itself_ . *But on the day obviously when everybody is 🎉 celebrating* (we all understand there were complications around this deal, we all understand the compromises were made), but it is *hard to look at those scenes where the Americans coming home* and meeting their families - without being able to *express some joy perhaps at what happened* .’

Is like peoplw never learn. Do not got to Russia, north korea or iran unless your are ok with being imprisoned for false accusations and be used as a political bargaining chip.

[doranvee]

What about Afghanistan? What about the people that died and were left?

[MargaretLindsay-jxmn]

Trump, "Only I can bring them home"😂
Really, why didn't he bring Whelan home who was detained during HIS administration.
The CON is such a LOOSER!

[Terry-wocw]

It's great to see Americans come home. But I think the US got played on this one. Russia got a better deal plus made this administration look good. He wants that because he sees the US falling apart and wants us to stay on that path

[jimmyyoung]

I think the US should tell its people if you go over to these hostile countries at your own risk we will not bargain, because Russia and China know what they're doing, people got to use common sense 😎

[pesopiddytypebeat]

Why did he wait till election time to do this 🤔

[mrbuckets]

They should have both come home before Brittany Griner.

[henryd]

Diaper Don, what a laughing joke, the rest of the world just laughs at him and can't understand why the US puts up with all his lies.

[danmayberry]

If anyone but Trump succeeds, he cries foul like an adolescent "meangirl." He wouldn't join former presidents at Biden's inauguration, and instead, threw his own leaving party. Such a princess.

[jennyjin]

Yeah, Trump is who the one materialist but not the humanist .

[happyfox]

Just because he forgot or couldn't do it himself, while he had the chance and said he would..
🤣
