Trump using detained WSJ reporter as bait to get elected.

I wonder what made him think about Evan Gershkovich at 1:30 AM.

This is beyond the pale.

Trump-why not work thru proper US channels and get #EvanGershkovich now?

And why didn’t Putin release #PaulWhelan who was imprisoned during your time in office?

Paul Whelan is still imprisoned in Russia.

Dangling Evan’s freedom as a political tool.

He doesn’t care about Evan Gershkovich, it’s just about him not going to jail. I hope people see how cruel this is.

Trump-- in his infinite stupidity-- has, by some measure, probably decreased the chance Putin will release Evan Gershkovich before the election now. What a fool.

Or should I say, former Ukranian people, since their country will be part of Russia if TSF wins.
