Trump is clearly a white supremacist. This proves it. He is going out of his way to help this celebrity, but he is only doing it to fool people into thinking he is not a white supremacist. 36D chess.

WNs like Spencer, Duke who supported Trump during peak of Trump's birther movement before elections lately have been turning on him and claim he's playing a 'con game'.
Trump's donor is a social liberal neoconservative Adelson and his own overall track record on various issues like LGBTQ, civil rights, universal healthcare, DOMA, DACA, interracial romances, bathrooms, abortion etc suggest he is more liberal, progressive than Dem Hillary Clinton. Fakenews media has a different narrative.

This does not look like some gimmick.

In comments marking the opening of two new civil rights museums in Mississippi on Saturday, President Trump described Martin Luther King Jr. as a personal hero. Praising Martin Luther King Jr. as one of the driving forces behind the civil rights movement, Trump described him as “a man who I’ve studied and watched and admired for my entire life.”




As for OP news, take away here may be that Sweden and US speak the same language (culturally) and MAGA pressure worked in case of A$AP's release, in case of Iran it would be more difficult.

Plea of this hostage's wife might also get more attention now with latest media headlines out today:


Trump names hostage negotiator as national security adviser (https://www.wcjb.com/content/news/Trump-names-Robert-OBrien-as-the-next-national-security-adviser-560671531.html)

The White House sent O'Brien to Sweden to monitor the case of A$AP Rocky, who was charged with assault. The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was permitted to return to Los Angeles to await the verdict of a Swedish court that found him guilty in a street brawl.
Last month, Hua Qu, the wife of a Princeton University graduate student detained in Iran, told reporters that she would like to see the same level of personal attention from the government as A$AP Rocky received.

On Wednesday, a Twitter account that advocates for the release of the student, Xiyue Wang, congratulated O'Brien on the appointment but also said: "We watched with frustration as this administration put all its energies into releasing celebrity A$AP Rocky from Sweden; meanwhile, (asterisk)multiple(asterisk) Americans suffer under terrible conditions in #Iran. Let's put all Americans first, not just famous ones. #AmericansFirst."
