Hypocrisy Rating: HIGH
Summary: Former President Trump criticized President Biden for not bringing American prisoners home. However, during his own presidency, Trump failed to prioritize the release of prisoners like Paul Whelan. He also spread false claims about the ransom paid to Iran in the prisoner swap.
Hypocritical statements:
1. Trump repeatedly criticized Biden for not bringing the prisoners home during his presidency, even though Trump himself did not prioritize their release.
2. Trump advocated for a ransom to be paid in the prisoner swap, despite previously criticizing the Obama administration for doing the same in a previous prisoner exchange.
3. Trump falsely claimed that the U.S. gave Iran billions of dollars in cash in exchange for prisoners.
4. Trump questioned the denial of cash exchange in the recent prisoner swap, without offering any evidence or specifics.
5. Trump accused Biden of being an embarrassment for not making good deals, when Trump himself made multiple deals with Russia without securing the release of American prisoners.
6. Trump criticized the media for not bringing attention to Paul Whelan's case, yet he himself did not publicly mention Whelan's name during his presidency.
7. Trump claimed he had been working on a deal for Whelan's release, despite his administration never taking any concrete action towards securing his release.
8. Trump claimed he turned down a deal with Russia for a one-on-one swap of prisoners, even though he himself authorized a swap in December 2022.
9. Trump did not publicly mention Evan Gershkovich's name until more than a year after his arrest.
10. Trump questioned whether Gershkovich would be released under Biden, despite previously claiming that Gershkovich would be released before Biden took office.
11. Trump criticized Biden for not having prisoners released, despite evidence that they were being held by non-state actors and not the government.
12. Trump claimed that Putin would release Gershkovich for him, but not for anyone else, implying that he was the only one capable of securing his release.
