Ryan Daniel Moran (Capitalism.com) delivers a brief opinion monologue arguing that the U.S. made a bad deal in the Brittney Griner prisoner exchange. He contends the Biden administration negotiated poorly—prioritizing media and political considerations—resulting in an unfavorable trade and negative optics for the administration.
I don't know much about the Brittney Griner situation, but it seems like we made a bad deal. I don't mean a bad deal like, it's always a good idea to get one of your citizens back when they're being held against their will. But, man, it seems like we negotiated poorly to see what we gave up versus what we got and what that person believes about our country. Seems like we just placated the media and the left in order to make a really bad deal. I think this looks bad for the Biden administration, and I don't think anybody's looking at this like, oh, he made a good deal. That was a good deal.
