     Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump criticizes the multinational prisoner swap, saying "our 'negotiators' are always an embarrassment to us! I got back many hostages, and gave the opposing Country NOTHING – and never any cash. To do so is bad precedent for the future. That’s the way it should be, or this situation will get worse and worse. They are extorting the United States of America."

     Nicholas Sarwark repeated this.
