An Egyptian American charity worker who was imprisoned in Cairo for three years and became the global face of Egypt’s brutal crackdown on civil society returned home to the United States late Thursday after the Trump administration quietly negotiated her release.
President Trump and his aides worked for several weeks with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi to secure the freedom of Aya Hijazi, 30, a U.S. citizen, as well as her husband, Mohamed Hassanein, who is Egyptian, and four other humanitarian workers. Trump dispatched a U.S. government aircraft to Cairo to bring Hijazi and her family to Washington.

The Obama administration unsuccessfully pressed Sissi’s government for their release. It was not until Trump moved to reset U.S. relations with Egypt by embracing Sissi at the White House on April 3 — he publicly hailed the autocrat’s leadership as “fantastic” and offered the U.S. government’s “strong backing” — that Egypt’s posture changed. Last Sunday, a court in Cairo dropped all charges against Hijazi and the others.

Depends, is what the OP posted fact or opinion? If it's a fact, then who published it is immaterial.
If it's an opinion, then everything should be in question. His post as well as yours.

Amazing what a little more honey than Vinegar will do to get things moving.
She was never going to be released because Obama treated Egypt and Sisi like shite.

Sadly what you are asserting doesnt exist here. Here is how it works: if it is pro Trump then it is real. If it is critical then it is fake news.

It seems like everytime a world leader gets into a meeting with Trump; something ends up getting done.
We love our freed prisoners don't we folks?

A prisoners release isn't an opinion and either it happened or it didn't. Are you saying that she wasn't released?

Hold on a sec, this can't be right. Trump hates muslims and wants to keep them out of the country. How could he possibly be bringing them in? Don't tell me the media was lying when they said he's a racist, bigot, xenophobe, literally Hitler, who hates all muslims.

What a racist bastard.

Your posts in this thread are asinine, miserable, and pathetic.
