Was it right for Trump to use three Americans, falsely imprisoned and mistreated for a photo op?

[HenryBHough]

So on Planet Coyote Carter freed the hostages and won re-election.

Meanwhile, here on Earth..........

Carter screwed over the troops who went in to try to get them out by refusing to let them use the choppers specially modified for Iranian conditions and they had to make do with what was on hand locally. Stuff that failed and made a mockery of the entire effort. But at least he tried, sort of.........

I tried to look up news that showed Obama did the same thing.

After all, ten were freed under Obama.

Trump Says Obama Administration Failed to Free Three American Hostages Held in North Korea

Trump says he beat Obama by getting three US prisoners ‘released by North Korea’ - even though two were jailed on his watch

And two of the three freed were arrested since Trump became president. Sad that Trump would lie about something like this again and again:

10 harrowing details about Jason Rezaian and Yeganeh Salehi’s imprisonment in Iran

So I was watching an interview with Jason Rezaian who was one of the hostages freed under Obama. He said when he was freed, he was allowed alone time with his family and it wasn't until weeks later that he actually met with Obama in an informal and low key setting. That's why I couldn't find such photo ops with Obama. And Obama had ten opportunities.

Everytime I see the kinds of things Trump does I wonder what kind of people Republicans are to follow him. I'm pretty sure, by now, I know.

many here wonder what kind of a person does thread after thread of the same old type of shit....and im pretty sure by now i know....

How can you start a thread about Trump without mentioning lies? I'm pretty sure it's not possible.

who said anything about trump?....oh wait you thought i was talking about you didnt you?....well at least you have yourself pegged ....

I suppose you missed the video of the Rose Garden party honoring Bowe Bergdahl, the goddamned teary eyed deserter/traitor that Obubba traded for 5 terrorist captives we were holding.

President Trump got those 3 American citizens home with nothing but words and negotiation by a competent Secretary of State.

Fucking liberals won't give our President credit for anything good that he does.

They often do photo ops...Trump is not unusual in that regard. The difference here is they don’t lie about it like Trump is in claiming Obama was trying to get these guys released for years whe two were captured in just the past year.

Of course his supporters refuse to call him on his lies.

When and where did Trump say what you claim?

The third man was arrested by NK in 2015, so that one flies no matter what you dig up!

Ok then, all of them weren’t in jail then but as your story says one hostage was there, what did your anointed one do about that?

Notice they totally ignore the blatent lies. Every time. Trump claimed Obama had tried for years to get these men released. Then the facts emerge that oops - two were captured under Trump, and one in the latter part of Obama's Administration.

Anyone have anything to say on these lies?

One of the three had been held hostage for three years...taken during Obozo's reign. Otto Warbier had been arrested in January 2016...and came home essentially already dead.

I don't know about all of that, but it was a total wincing moment when Trump said
“We want to thank [North Korean leader] Kim Jong Un, who really was excellent to these three incredible people,”
With the hostages standing beside him, no less. If a guy can say that with no clue he's being insensitive, why wouldn't he use them as a photo op? It's all in a day's reality tv.

How do you know those were the three he was referring to? What about Obama's failure to get Otto Warmbier out?

2015 was not the "latter part of Obama's administration, now was it?

Why do you lie?

 

[ABikerSailor]

You know, when Trump said that those three men were on their way home after being released from N. Korea, I thought, cool.............Trump has finally done something good while in office.

Too bad he had to screw up the moment by saying "I want to thank Kim Jong-un, who really was excellent to these three incredible people.", and then had to talk about how big he made the ratings for 3 am. because it was him. Hate to tell Trump, but the American people are always willing to watch when stuff like this happens. It's part of who we are.

Trump did a good thing, but he screwed it up with his stupid comments.

Yeah, I know, he's made one stupid comment after the other, so I suppose that I should be used to it. But, I'm not. I believe that the person we put in charge of this country should be thoughtful and measured with their words, because EVERYONE on the planet is listening to what he says because of his position.

No, I'm never gonna get used to people in leadership positions acting stupid. Didn't like it when I was in the Navy, and I don't like it now. Matter of fact, I've actually seen what crappy leadership can do, and I've seen it sink a command because of the CO. If the CO has a crappy attitude, it will eventually rub off onto the people below them.

Case in point.................Trump thought it was okay to disparage McCain's service history. Because he did it, others have seemed to think it's okay for them to do it because their leader did it.

Don't start counting on N. Korea getting rid of their weapons until after the talks Harry. I still think that Un is using Trump as a way to get recognition from the world that they are a nuclear power. Not gonna start cheering for peace until after they have met a time or two to see what the mood is.

And, Trump still has 2 years to go in this term. Anything can happen.

this is true, but i am actually of the thought that China has had a lot to do with all this,i am sure they think the best fed person in N.Korea is a pain in their ass too....

President Trump welcomes 3 Americans home after being held captive by NK at 3am... deanrd thinks it’s a photo op. lol

deanrd is the only person on this forum stupid enough to miss the significance of that.

Perhaps he is intentionally praising Little Rocket Man in preparation for a successful summit meeting in Singapore next month.

Actually, I see this as more of Un getting cozy with China prior to negotiating with Trump. I'd be willing to bet that China is gonna back N. Korea.

Still.................saying that Un treated these hostages "excellent" is kinda tone deaf. Excellent treatment doesn't include forced labor prisons.
