An American teacher who was wrongfully imprisoned in Russia is headed home tonight. Mark Fogel spent 3 1/2 years in prison before being released today. President Donald Trump is responsible for getting him freed. Fogel‘s sister says their mother approached Trump during a 2024 rally. She asked him to bring her son home. President Trump made that promise and kept it today.
Here’s more: (WATCH)
Anne Fogel, sister of Marc Fogel, tells the story of President Trump promising their mother that he would bring Marc home:

Commenters are celebrating Fogel’s release, but are also angry that President Joe Biden did not get him freed during his time in office.
What's truly mind boggling is the fact that many of these things could have been done anytime during the last 4 years.

Yet the previous administration made a conscious decision not to.
Marc Fogel is another American that the Democrats left to rot in another country, and he is now home with his family.

Promises made. Promises kept.
That must have broke their hearts at CNN to cover this story

Many posters feel that CNN's Erin Burnett looks uneasy or even angry during the interview with Fogel’s sister. Check out their reactions.
You can see the pain in the @CNN witch ladies face hearing such a beautiful story about President Trump.

You don't hate the media even close to enough.
Burnett is trying her hardest to keep from all out scowling!

‘Promises made, promises kept’ is becoming the theme of Trump’s presidency.
Promising to bring someone home and keeping it shows that some political promises are not just empty words.

He definitely promised, and came through with that

Bravo @realdonaldtrump for getting Marc Fogel out and for his sister praising President Trump to the high heavens!

Why does that make Dems mad? Because they’re unable to keep their word? #zelena #GrandeFratello #helena #shailenzo #helevier #heleners pic.twitter.com/Igswxshnix
