President Donald Trump met with Danny Burch, a recently released American citizen who was held hostage in Yemen for the last year and a half, and his family in the Oval Office

Burch, according to The New York Times, is an American oil worker who had spent years working as an engineer for a Yemeni oil company when he was abducted in Sanaa, Yemen, in 2017. According to Reuters, Iran-aligned Houthi forces were behind Burch's kidnapping."We got him out and we're very happy about it," Trump said on Wednesday."And Danny, welcome home.""He was in Yemen in a very horrible situation, captive, a prisoner.

Burch was seated next to the President in an Oval Office chair often occupied by foreign leaders, but didn't speak to the press during Wednesday's meeting.Trump said that there are negotiations going on in other locations to free American hostages, but would not say where these hostages were located."We have a few negotiations going on right now. I won't tell you where, because we don't want to blow the negotiations," Trump added.

That is beautiful how many people was released on the 8 year Obama was in office.

Oops. I first read that his family was held hostage at the ovaloffice. 😳

Did he call him Dan Hostage?

Thank you Trump for works so hard to get our people returned home safe.

Was under the impression he did not like prisoners of war.

Did he feed him McDonald’s?

Thank you President Trump!

Can you report on the recent prison release of the black lady that he just met with as well. The prison reform bill was a pretty big deal.

Planned Parenthood, American Medical Association sue Trump administration over abortion ‘gag rule’The announcement comes a day after California and a coalition of 20 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration over the the same Title X program changes. Finally, the AMA woke up. Medical organizations must defend their members against arbitrary, unscientific and no evidence base governmental rules that jeopardize patients health and well being. Define baby killers and body part sales. Good, take them to task.

Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb calls Mueller an 'American hero'Ty Cobb, the White House attorney who served as President Trump's lead counsel during the early stages of Special Counsel Mueller's probe, calls the former FBI director and federal prosecutor an 'American hero' in an interview. At first glance I thought this was Bill Murray dressed as Wyatt Earp They all “love” and cover for each other! Why do you think many dislike POTUS ? He’s not one of the gang. They’ve spent YEARS cultivating allies to protect each other. Mr. Cobb obviously did serve President Trump very well.

Judge orders Trump administration to act on young Central American refugees left in limboA federal judge in San Francisco ordered the Trump administration to resume processing the applications of more than 2,700 young Central Americans and family members who had been left in limbo. Why don’t we send them all to SF for processing and let them provide the necessary housing. As if a federal judge had that kind of power. Where the hell does the constitution say a judge who was never elected can boss around the President who was actually elected and does actually have constitutional powers? he should do,,,,exactly as BHO Did,,,,,,,,,,,,Disregard !
