VICTORY: American Teacher Held In Russia Since 2021 Returns Home (VIDEO)
The smile on Trump's face speaks for itself
Joe Biden told us all that ‘America’s back’… but Donald Trump is actually bringing Americans back home.
The press often paints a picture of Trump as an unfeeling monster, unmoved by the tears and fears of ordinary people. But it’s in the moments like this one, where 3 weeks into his Presidency, he’s making his second announcement about the successful repatriation of Americans.
This time, it’s about an American who was held in Russia since 2021. Russia didn’t care that the marijuana he had with him had been prescribed by a doctor.
Biden managed to get a certain basketball player home from Russia — in exchange for an infamous arms dealer — but failed to bring Marc Fogel home. Hardly surprising, since news reports from early 2024 said Joe hasn’t spoken to Putin since 2022.
Trump, on the other hand, found a way to bring him home, just 3 weeks after taking office. And unlike the disrespect Joe showed by repeatedly looking at his watch when the 13 Americans killed in Kabul due to his ineptitude came home again, there was nowhere else Trump would rather have been in that moment. He was positively beaming to see him come home again.

One wild detail about his story is that Trump was petitioned about securing Marc’s freedom … by Marc’s 95yo mother … shortly before stepping on stage and taking a bullet in the ear.
Yep. The very same day.
No wonder they both have so much to smile about. Look what’s changed — for them both — since that day.
