President Trump welcomes home Marc Fogel from Russian imprisonment

According to the Daily Mail, just hours after Marc Fogel was released by Russian authorities and allowed to return home, he met the president at the White House where he was welcomed back with open arms. 

Fogel immediately said he was "excited" to be back on U.S. soil as he shook President Trump's hand.

What happened?

The two men smiled and laughed as they celebrated his return home before heading into the White House Diplomatic Reception Room for further conversation.

He didn’t have worry about it, but he did. He didn’t have to stand in the cold and snow to welcome Marc Fogel home, but he did.

People that don’t like President Trump are stupid.

Thank you, President Trump!

Fogel expressed his sincere gratitude for President Trump as he held a cold beer from his home state of Pennsylvania, fighting back tears over the surrealness of being back home and out of Russian prison.

"I feel like the luckiest man on Earth right now," Fogel said. "President Trump is a hero."

The Daily Mail noted:

He described his horrific detainment in Russia, where he claimed to have spent over 100 days in medical wards and received over 400 injections during his 3.5 years in prisoned there.

'To me you look damn good, I'll tell you that,' Trump reassured the 63-year-old teacher. 'You're in good shape.'

Trump also acknowledged Russian President Vladimir Putin, thanking him for stepping in and agreeing to have Fogel released.

Social media reacts

Users across social media celebrated Fogel's return, and praised President Trump for making it happen.

"It's amazing what happens when you have a president who loves America and Americans," one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "The people who don't like President Trump are , for the most part, paid by the globalists to hate him."

Thank goodness Trump was able to do what Joe Biden couldn't, or wouldn't, do for Fogel and his family.

President Donald Trump is on a roll, and that's probably still an understatement.

The number of victories he's scoring is off the charts and his latest, which involved the return home of a U.S. citizen who was imprisoned in Russia, is nothing short of a monumental win.
