I think the Trump campaign is just trolling us. Again.
So the Chinese nabbed one of our unmanned drones, causing an international incident. After some negotiating they agreed to return it back to us.
So of course the Trump camp took credit for it:
@realdonaldtrump gets it done: "China says it will return US drone it seized https://t.co/xevxLTlIP3"

Because of this tweet by the Donald earlier [which he corrected over a typo]:
China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters – rips it out of water and takes it to China in unprecedented act.

So, great, we got it back, everything is good right?! Nope, the Donald HAS to stay in the spotlight – that’s why he posted this:
We should tell China that we don't want the drone they stole back.- let them keep it!

Uh, so which is it? Did the Donald force them through his iron will to agree to give it back or not? This is pretty classic Trump on both ends – he takes credit for stuff he didn’t do, and then he disdainfully acts like everything is beneath him. He’s like our very own Obama!!!
