Trump comes in, 90 days later he’s obtained a release of these people Obama either took a pass on, or couldn’t negotiate.

Originally from Falls Church, Va., Hijazi was working in Cairo with the Belady Foundation. The Obama administration previously lobbied al-Sissi’s government for her release, but was unsuccessful.

The libs are even trying to spin this as a bad thing. They are even sicker than I thought. Their depth of evil is approaching that of the Viet Cong.

Thank you Parley Baer. I had stumbled across that comment, and it was interesting to me.

I’m not sure what Trump offered that Obama didn’t, but it does make me think Trump was either more dedicated, or simply more effective.

The proof is in the pudding.
