Former United States President Donald Trump threw some shade at Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner during a recent interview on Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast, calling her release from a Russian prison “not the greatest trade.”
Trump, who is running for office again despite being found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying records, was asked about the 2022 prisoner swap that saw Griner released on the back of a hefty prison sentence.
Current U.S. President Joe Biden facilitated an exchange in which arms dealer Viktor Bout was handed back to Russia, allowing Brittney Griner to return home after spending close to a year in jail.
Trump slammed the swap, claiming the country gave up an arms dealer for a basketball player who thought the National Anthem provided her with the best opportunity to lace her sneakers.
In the clip below, the former POTUS says Biden “gave 6 billion for five hostages. You saw that recently, a couple of months ago. Six billion dollars for five hostages. He made the swap. The Prince of Terror they call him [Bout].
“He’s the best arms dealer ever they say, who knows what that means, but he was a great arms dealer, for the basketball player who wouldn’t stand up for the national anthem. She thought that was a good time to tie her sneakers. And that was not exactly the greatest trade. But he gave 6 billion dollars on top of it. Six billion, billion with a B, and they don’t know what they’re doing.”

We’re not sure where the $6 billion comes in here, first hearing of it.
Everyone is aware of the prisoner exchange, but money being sent to Russia was never mentioned.
Brittney Griner Has Changed Her Stance On The National Anthem
Brittney Griner is happy to be back on U.S. soil and must be aware that the swap could have easily not taken place. As such, she has changed her views on the anthem.
“One thing that’s good about this country is our right to protest,” she said this year. “You have a right to be able to speak out, question, to challenge, and do all these things. [After] what I went through, it just means a little bit more to me now.
“I was literally in a cage and could not stand the way I wanted to … and a lot of other situations. Just being able to hear my national anthem, see my flag, I definitely wanted to stand.”
