Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. So today we're going to talk about

Trump and Putin and promises and a question, a couple of questions that I have about this promise because the

former president has said something and I feel like we might need to go over the realities when it comes to what he is saying

here. If you missed it, the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, said, quote,

The reporter from the Wall Street Journal, who is being held by Russia, will be released almost immediately after the election,

but definitely before I assume office.

He will be home, safe, and with his family.

Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, will do that for me, but not for anyone else.

And we will be paying nothing.

All caps. I mean okay I mean that's that is quite the claim I'm wondering why he believes that if he's been maybe talking to anybody over there. I would assume not.

But my question is if this relationship that Putin has with Trump, if it's so good that Trump can just snap his fingers and get Americans released.

Why didn't he do it when he was president?

You know, because there were Americans who were picked up during Trump's term.

Why didn't they come home? Why didn't Trump use this wonderful relationship that he has with Putin to get them

home?

I guess Trevor Reed, Paul Wheeling? I guess they just didn't rate?

They weren't a good enough headline.

Both Marine Corps vets that I guess Trump just didn't feel like making the call for.

Because I would assume that whatever relationship exists between Trump and Putin, well that was formed while he was

president. So he could have he could have made that call and got that done while he was in office for them because he'll do that for me but not

for anyone else because they have a special relationship. So if he didn't do it for them, the question is why? Did their relationship get better after he left office?

I wonder what Trump gave him.
