There was absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about in Trump's comment.

What kind of a deal is it to swap Brittney Griner, a basketball player who openly hates our Country, for the man known as “The Merchant of Death,” who is one of the biggest arms dealers anywhere in the World, and responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and horrific injuries. Why wasn’t former Marine Paul Whelan included in this totally one-sided transaction? He would have been let out for the asking. What a “stupid” and unpatriotic embarrassment for the USA!!!
If you so concerned about this comment, I can't help you further.
Well, for starters, as an honorably discharged Marine I am a “former Marine”. Whelan was dishonorably discharged so he’s an EX-Marine. A pos that other Marines would maybe pi$$ on if he was on fire, and that’s it.
Secondly, Whelan’s family could be a bunch of commies but it doesn’t matter. What they say against DJT in the mass media matters. If I’m not mistaken Trump is campaigning to be President again and he’s already off to a great start with the whole Kanye dinner disaster and here we have yet another faux pas that the media will latch onto and use against him, swaying what little sway we have with independents.
You know what would’ve been an amazing post or statement by Trump?
How about comparing this trade to the Bergdhal trade? We could ride that comparison forever.
