Trump BURNS Himself After Desperate Lies Deteriorate

Donald Trump claims he would have gotten Paul Whelan out of Russia, though he never did during his administration, following the Biden administration trade for WBNA star, Brittney Griner, during a Truth Social freak out. John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report.

Read more here:

"Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to directly answer questions about John Bolton’s claim that former President Donald Trump declined the possibility of securing Paul Whelan’s freedom by giving up Viktor Bout for him instead of Brittney Griner years later.

Fox News’ Shannon Bream interviewed Pompeo on Fox News Sunday, and she started things off with Bolton criticizing the Biden administration’s prisoner exchange last week where they traded Bout, a convicted international arms dealer, for the WNBA star. Some have objected to the prisoner swap by calling it an uneven trade, while others have panned the Biden administration for not freeing Whelan in the deal as well.

At the start of her interview, Bream focused on the fact that as Bolton denounced the Griner-Bout prisoner exchange, he claimed that the Trump White House previously rejected a chance to exchange Bout for Whelan."

My father and me were talking about this topic this morning, and like my father said, if Putin is Trump's friend why did he talk to him about releasing Paul Whelan from Russia? I answered yeah. Then I asked my father, didn't Trump say he was a master negotiator?

[catherinejohnson]

The 5000 Tailban prisoners Trump released? Is that who Trump is saying he released as he did allow that

[shelleyking]

NOBODY in his administration said ONE WORD about Whelan while Trump was in office.

[tripdjoint]

He is not a Marine, he was dishonorably discharged. Disgraced Bad Conduct Discharge.

[steveparker]

Can we send Trump to Russia? They seam to want him. We dont!

[jaypierce]

Trump takes credit for picking the winning Lotto numbers the day after the drawing.

[sanciawalker]

He likes to inject himself in other people's success he wasn't going to do anything such a fool mad man 🤣

[avalynnewilby]

Would have, could have ... didnt! The other thing being overlooked is Bout is wanted by other countries. If he pokes his head up in another country he may get arrested again.

[lucylillypad]

So sick of hearing about Ftrump. Can't he just get locked up in a room with no internet connection? That would be awesome! Then we'd never hear from him again! blissful 😊

[sarahdee]

I think he claimed that he could have rescued Frederick Douglass while he was President too!

[estebanfrisch]

I prefer hostages who weren't dishonorably discharged.

[gregorymiller]

Record number of hostages?

Is he talking about the Taliban prisoners that he got released?

[jonathansachs]

Don't forget trump also negotiated the release of nobody at all for he current leader of the taliban. What a genius of the stable.

[Jasper_Yay]

I remember in ‘16 when all republicans went to Russia. I remember there was a photograph of them. It was an eerie photo. All the Republicans had a fearful look on their faces. No smiles. It gave me a chill. Semper Fi

[jimgraham]

The marine was a not very bright walter mitty type. He was dishonourably discharged after committing a string of offences while in the military.

[battlestump]

The only person I recall getting any time on air being discussed by Trump was ASAP Rocky. I don't recall those 'talks' going all that well.
Trump was(and still is) a walking international policy disaster. I can't think of any issue that he ever put his hands on that didn't instantly become a lot worse.

[lockelamora]

The people who love guns more than children are upset that we gave up an arms dealer for an American in prison for possessing vape cartridges. What about Smith & Wesson, Colt, and Ruger? Aren't they arms dealers?

[wingnut]

That's the major problem with lies. If you tell them over and over again, you may start to believe

[Terrestrial..]

Poor donny is so desperate to get back into ANY spotlight that he fails to understand he's now Worthless.

[chestercleveland]

Trump let's not forget the 5, 000 Taliban fighters you released from Afghanistan prisons we got NO Body for them & to ALL you people Crying & Moaning about Paul Whelan the Vet the man who served his country I suggest you check out his discharge papers as a Vet ( Veteran) myself I consider Paul Whelan to be a DISGRACE to the uniform
