[MISSLOVELY_REE]

Glad Mr Paul and all 6 Americans are free❤

Lmao meanwhile Vance is trying to give Trump credit for it but Trump is crying about it being a bad deal... They can't even get their story straight!!

[AlaskanGhost]

I'm glad they're home, but something about this doesn't smell right

[bocephus_]

definitely no selfish ulterior motive here, just clap and move along

[DavidBenner-cyzl]

Now, the Americans criminally held by Hamass in Gaza and held by the Talaban in Afghanistan.

Good but Truth social is not so truthful

[humilitybyTruth]

What about the hostages in Afghanistan?

[cindyadkins]

Thank you, Mr. President. This a is a true miracle. Thank God they are coming home.

[sherrimartin]

Unfortunately, OUR brutal ordeal isn't over!!

[Ooughhh]

Very convenient they did nothing to help for 4 years but now all of the sudden they matter? FJB

[sinuonhill]

Why’s they trade prisoners Russian and Russian ?

[DarrellD]

Amazing how much can be done when an election is on the line. Why was this not done sooner? You had no problem getting a basketball player released?

[charlottevelez]

That should have been done long ago, long before the election coming up!

[Debbie-yh]

I am glad for the men and lady and their families. But, why did Biden Administration wait all this time to work on negotiations. They have had 3.5 years. Oh!!! I forgot!!! They need a vote.

[jimmyPOUFAJones]

Yes it is an election BS Different day.

[timothytangemann]

Yeah…. tends to get done, not when it should’ve gotten done, but always in an election year when they’re desperate to stay in power.

[Dabberz]

Edward Snowden and Julian Assange should be free too

[kwebber]

I'm so glad that these people are now free, But I think they should be thanking God that it is Election season, Because if it wasn't election season they would still be rotting in a Russian Prison....

[slickwilly]

Brittney griner need to still be in there.
