Trump comment about immigration 'problems' baffles Sweden - Polidicks

[quote] U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that Sweden experienced an immigration-related security incident prompted a baffled response from the Scandinavian country on Sunday as diplomats asked for an explanation and citizens responded with amusement. Trump, who in his first weeks in office has tried to sharply tighten U.S. borders on national security grounds, cited Sweden as a country that had experienced problems with immigrants in remarks at a rally on Saturday. "You look at what's happening last night in Sweden," Trump said. "Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible." That appeared to confuse the Swedish government, which asked the U.S. State Department to explain what the new president meant. "We are trying to get clarity," Swedish Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Catarina Axelsson said. The State Department said it did not comment on diplomatic communications.

Has Trump clarified yet on what exactly happened "last night" in Sweden? I mean I'm guessing no but he likes to tweet a lot so.

still then, what did FoxNews broadcast

Trump just commented on it [media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/833435244451753984[/media] THIS RAISES EVEN MORE QUESTIONS

I sick and tired of "I know your country more than you, and muslims are taking over and imposing sharia law in your country" shit.

[QUOTE=Amfleet;51846341]Forget his Twitter account, what we really need to take away from him is the remote control.[/QUOTE] It's seriously worrying that the leader of this country gets most of his news from his favorite tv shows rather than official advisers.

Alright, so a lot of news articles think he watched this video [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSzjfAMk-RI[/media] It's basically 5 minutes of a fox news anchor complaining about foreigners and the government not doing anything about it

snip, ninja'd

guess the mainstream media IS reliable as long as its fox

Since the refugee crisis started, there have been these Americans acting like Europe is in the same state as Syria and it's absolutely amusing to watch.

Do you think if Fox News ran a story about ho Trump was resigning as President, he would unabashedly hold a press conference about his resignation? Just an idea.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;51846415]Do you think if Fox News ran a story about ho Trump was resigning as President, he would unabashedly hold a press conference about his resignation? Just an idea.[/QUOTE] It's kind of sad that the new President invites comparisons to Ron Burgundy. I bet Fox News could get him to start using some jargon word incorrectly just by misusing it on the air. Like, "rendition" suddenly means letting suspected terrorists free, instead of extraordinary deportation of the suspected to Gitmo/etc.

Wow all those stories about Trump getting his daily information from TV news are actually true.

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;51846473]Wow all those stories about Trump getting his daily information from TV news are actually true.[/QUOTE] He only calls them briefings because he watches TV in his briefs.

First the Bowling Green Massacre, now this, and likely more in the future. This administration is completely unafraid to blatantly make shit up in front of the people and peddle it as gospel.

Fox should just run a purposefully fake story about Trump dying and see if it breaks his brain.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;51847191]He gets his information from the news? Seriously? Isn't this exactly what daily intelligence briefings are for?[/QUOTE] No, Trump doesn't get daily intel briefings because, and I quote: "You know, I'm, like, a smart person."

Oh man, I hope swebonny is okay. If your reading this Big Bang, it's immigrants like you that are ruining Sweden!
