Trump cited a nonexistent incident in Sweden during his rally on Saturday

[wjboyer1]

So, from the administration that told us about the (NON EXISTENT) massacres in Bowling Green, and Atlanta....now Sweden...we are to believe his rants about the media that they are liars and distribute fake news.....let me guess, he also won the electoral college by the most votes since Reagan(EVERY PRESIDENT INCLUDING REAGAN BEAT HIS TOTAL )....and he actually got more than 3 million votes than were officially counted.....and his popularity in the US is over 55%(10 POLLS SHOW HIS POPULARITY AT BETWEEN 39%-45%).....and he had no knowledge of the conversations that General Flynn had with the Russians.....
Within what alternate universe does he reside? Of course all of the alternative facts are truths to him.....just like his college ranking, which, according to him was at the top of his class, but his name is nowhere to be found on the Dean's list of Wharton College

Thanks for those links. It seems that Donald Trump just shoots from the hip in these campaign stops.

It's just amazing how some people, including the media choose to ignore parts of articles such as this:

Others concluded that Trump had been referring to a segment on the Fox News show “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” which explored an alleged rise in crime following Sweden’s admission of a large number of refugees from Africa and the Middle East.

Except that is not what he said. He seemed to allude to a terrorist attack which recently happened in Sweden. He did not say that crime had increased because of immigrants to Sweden.

Russia has practiced the invasion of Sweden and other Scandinavian countries in 2015. Maybe in his nonexistent conversation with Putin he was giving advance notice of Russia's plans for border expansion.

Not sure what you link means..

Explain ?

He was probably referring to a political special on Fox a few nights earlier that spoke about Sweden and refugees..that seems to be the prevailing thinking, but imagine a President not even understanding what he is saying.

"HELSINKI (AP) — Swedes have been scratching their heads and ridiculing President Donald Trump's remarks that suggested a major incident had happened in the Scandinavian country. The American president now says he was referring to something he saw on television.

During a rally in Florida on Saturday, Trump said "look what's happening last night in Sweden" as he alluded to past terror attacks in Europe. It wasn't clear what he was referring to and there were no high-profile situations reported in Sweden on Friday night.

The comment prompted a barrage of social media reaction on Sunday, with hundreds of tweets, and a local newspaper published a list of events that happened on Friday that appeared to have no connections to any terror-like activity."

Just a tad embarrassing for the country.

Our President tweeted ...

"My statement as to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden."

Total class

He referred to a major incident "last night" in Sweden. Our President said this..wow

[ColdNoMore]

At this point, forget impeachment talk...that would take too long.

Congress should demand a panel of top rated psychologists evaluate Trump...to make sure he isn't clinically insane/mentally diminished.

Our country's safety is too important...not to do this.

[Rockyrd]

Starting to look like cracks are developing....


"Fox News anchor Chris Wallace cautioned his colleagues and the network's viewers Sunday that President Trump's latest attack on the media had gone too far.

“Look, we're big boys. We criticize presidents. They want to criticize us back, that's fine,” Wallace said Sunday morning on “Fox & Friends.” “But when he said that the fake news media is not my enemy, it's the enemy of the American people, I believe that crosses an important line.”

The “Fox & Friends” anchors had shown a clip of Trump recounting that past presidents, including Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, had fought with the press. They then asked Wallace whether Trump's fraught relationship with the media was a big deal.

In response, Wallace told his colleagues that Jefferson had also once written the following: “And were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

The respect this man is generating is awesome..."what is he smoking"

"The former Swedish foreign minister wondered what Donald Trump was “smoking” after the president referred to a nonexistent terror attack in the Scandinavian country.

“Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound,” a baffled Carl Bildt tweeted late Saturday about Trump’s comments during a rally in Florida earlier in the day."

An independent board of physiatrists should examine TRUMPANZEE and determine if he is mentally fit to carry out the duties of being President.

The Sweden fable is just ridiculous. He heard it on Fox and repeats it incorrectly at a political rally. I thought smoking the wacky weed was against the law for Federal employees.

He was very specific......HE SAID "LAST NIGHT" which would have been Friday night.

And he might have been referring to a segment on Tucker Carlson's program the previous night about the refugee problem in Sweden.

Most of the left wing media had huge headlines stating that he mentioned a terrorist non existent attack in Sweden. If you read the text of the articles you would read something like; "He seemed to be referring to a terrorist attack in Sweden that didn't happen."

This is just another silly attack piece by the media that is striking back for his telling the truth about him.

The fact is that his comments could have been taken in several different ways. The media has decided to post their interpretation as a headline making it seem like something it might not have been.

So completely none, the Swedes are mocking our President, of course that is becoming customary.

This cannot be defended...he was very very clear.

LOL that must have happened on Friday evening, maybe that's why Melania said the Lords Payer ,I thought it was because she didn't know what else to say.

You forgot, and trump wants us out of NATO. Your pathetic!

Trump has loudly proclaimed publicly before any private meetings that he wants everyone to pay their percentage. He is certainly not the first President to push this. NATO is vital...example..those who pay the amount required, which is a percentage of GDP are the countries that border Russia. NATO is all that stands between them and a Russian takeover.

Russia, on the other hand wants desperately to weaken or end NATO for obvious reasons. They know, with NATO, they will face real resistance..without they simply take over, for example POLAND.

Trump is correct in that we need them to pay their share, HOWEVER to publicly give Russia a boost in threatening the alliance, this is where his famous bargaining skill would help. Yelling and threatening may work in real estate, but not so much in world affairs.

I thought the VP was great this morning at NATO. Reasonable, sane feet on the ground

Last week Trump talked about a terrorist attack in Sweden. This was a great surprise to the Swedes because there was none! Where did Trump get his terror assessment? Did it come from the CIA or his National Security adviser? No he doesn’t believe them to be competent. Trump got his from Tucker Carlson on Fox News. I am sure tens of thousands of people watched Tucker on TV. I bet Trump was the only one to turn off the TV thinking there was an attack in Sweden. It is a good thing the US government can’t be sued otherwise there would be a class action suits from around the world for the injuries incurred from people falling off their chairs laughing at us. SAD!
