Former United States President Donald Trump made controversial statements on Tuesday in which he attacked Brittney Griner, a WNBA star detained in Russia, accusing her of having traveled to the country “loaded with drugs”.
Trump went to the radio program “Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” to talk about different topics and one of them was the arrest of Griner in Russia, for “drug trafficking” as a court in Moscow ruled.
When asked what he thought of the deprivation of liberty towards the center, Trump made it clear that he had a lot of drugs with him and that they caught her being a “hostile territory” and where they are very attentive to this issue.
“she came in there loaded of drugs to a hostile territory where they are very vigilant for drugs. They don’t like drugs and they got her,” Trump said.
As if that were not enough, the billionaire accused Griner of “potentially spoiled” and disagrees with the exchange that the Joe Biden government is considering applying for a Russian arms dealer to try to free her.
“It certainly doesn’t sound like a very good exchange, does it? It’s absolutely one of the worst in the world and you’ll be given your freedom because a potentially spoiled person walks into Russia loaded with drugs,” he added.
Trump complemented the comment related to the drug trafficker by explaining that if the exchange were to take place, he would have full freedom despite having killed “many Americans” and “many people”.
“Now we’re supposed to take her out, and she makes, you know, a lot of money, I guess. We’re supposed to take her out for an outright killer and one of the biggest arms dealers around. walk from the world“. She killed a lot of Americans she killed a lot of people,” Trump said.
Griner was detained last 17 February when she landed in Moscow and was accused of having in her baggage cartridges with cannabis oil for vaping.
