Trump was portrayed in a negative light for cozying up to Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, but the Obama administration tried and failed to bring Hijazi home.
As Ann Althouse (no Trump fan, BTW) suggests, while the MSM are working to represent Trump as a loose-lipped buffoon, his actions and results show him a negotiator of skill beyond MSM ken.
