Remember, you don't need to say "terrorist attack" to mean "terrorist attack."

Because they are no longer the "news media", they are a propaganda arm of the socialist-globalists. They will twist facts, or just outright make up stuff in order to push their agenda. Trump is exposing them for their biased reporting and they will do anything to try to take him down.

You would think that the President of the United States could discern the difference between a television show having been on TV last night and something that actually happened last night.

"You look at what’s happening in Germany. You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden,” the president said at a rally in Melbourne, Florida, on Saturday night. “Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible.” Donald Trump

Freddie Mac it makes a difference on what you say as nominee and what the president says.

When the president of the U.S. speaks the entire world is listening. It is much different than just speaking to your friends.

How he says what he means is extremely important. He is not just speaking to his base he is speaking to the entire world.

When he and his base understands this it will make a difference in the words and facts he uses.

This is why semantics are important. I was Rand Paul supporter and I don't think he would the same speaking mistakes that Trump makes.

But why doesn't he realize that if something had happened that he should have been briefed on it? If something happens anywhere in the world then he should have the most up to date info possible.

Trump seemed fine having seen something on the news and him not having any details

I was right about the spin on SwedenI mentioned yesterday that I heard the sound bite from Trump on Sweden and I never heard the term 'terror attack.' That's because he didn't say it.


The liberal fake news networks fortify Trump's assessment every day.

I disagree. I'd rather a President sound sincere than listen to a pre-packaged speech, written by multiple people, and recited off of a teleprompter.

If this had been a Democrat there would have been no controversy here. But since it's a Republican, and since it's Donald Trump specifically, we've got to find a way to spin something in an effort to attack him.

No. That's the point. He specifically did not. He did not even specifically reference FNC, much less the content in an FNC special.

Because the first casualty of war is truth. The progs are at war with Trump.

If I were a teenage - young adult female in Sweden, I'd be terrified of what my government has and has not done.

I damn sure wouldn't go out alone or even in a small group of less than 5 people.

Last night, last week...next week. Doesn't matter. One thing for sure is that Sweden is a major mess. The mess that Sweden has brought on itself cannot be reversed. It's that big a mess. A mess would look at Sweden and say.."That's a mess."

It was a horrible day. The weatherman told me last night that it would be warm this morning and no rain till after noon. I packed my golf clubs. When I got out of Starbucks at 6 a.m. the rains came.
