2. why is there always a big todo about someone being released? Loads of time and money spent on this to make trump look good but destroys everything at home. who or what is important to trump? Everyone needs to open their eyes and ask these questions

How come it took trump over 2 years? Funny how trump is trying to get some things amid impeachment and election? It will ramp up in the next 11 months. He does nothing for country in 36 months and then all of a sudden, gets off his fat ass and accomplishes something....

Thank you Switzerland for helping us. 🗽🇺🇸

Thrilled for Mr. Wang & his family. Welcome home!

I bet he's going to Wang Chung tonight.

Why was he even there? No way Id go to N Korea, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, to name a few! What’s with these people? We’re putting extensive sanctions on Iran. They start proxy wars.

Out in these streets paying for hostages.

So diplomacy works with Iran. Did Republicans learn something?

Iran releases American student in prisoner swapAn American graduate student, who had been held for three years in Iran on suspicion of being a spy, has been freed in a prisoner swap between the two countries. Aslong as he gets back safely I am glad they're back but who did we exchange ? What kind of ISIS fighter did we trade for a student? They could just start grabbing up innocent people to trade for their terrorists.
