Did the Washington Post actually give Trump props for the release of Aya Hijazi? Jennifer Rubin cited the release of Aya Hijazi as an example of how US administrations should push for human rights issues with their allies behind closed. This is the only time she gives Trump some credit in a piece meant to lambast him over his public show of support for Turkish potentate Recep Tayeb Erdogan’s victory in Turkey’s constitutional referendum granting him sweeping powers.

...The HuffPost, however, was not too impressed and is blathering on again about how support for regional autocrats is destabilizing the region, citing US aid to Egypt under both Obama and Trump.
