MSNBC columnist Charlie Sykes is founder of The Bulwark. His most recent book, 'How the Right Lost Its Mind,' was published in October 2017.

Let’s cut to the chase here: Is former President Donald Trump trying to sabotage Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich’s chances of being released before the November election? On Thursday, Trump posted on social media that because of his extra-special relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he — and only he — can free the innocent young American who has been languishing in a foreign jail for over 400 days.

After the death of dissident Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison, Trump pointedly refused to condemn Putin or hold him in any way responsible. Also in February, Trump seemed to invite Putin to attack NATO members who were “delinquent” on their NATO funding promises. These comments sent tremors throughout European capitals, given his well-documented record of antipathy toward the vital military alliance.
