There are tons of threads regarding Sweden. From what I gather Trump said or tweeted something about them having a terrorist attack but they didn't (or did they?) and then morphed from there into all kinds of shite?

Anybody have any cliff notes?

They ran out of those red fish thingys and Trump got pissed about it and started riots.

He basically said, "look what happened last night in Sweden", and while nothing (reported) happened the previous night, he later tweeted it was about a FOX News report he had watched the night before.

However, if one has been keeping up over the past few years, it is absolutely and baldly plain that Sweden has experienced an absurd, nearly epidemic level of sexual assault/rape and violent crime from imported Somalians and so-called Syrians.

Cliffs- Trump is a moron and mentions a non-existent Swedish attack as a reason for the travel ban. Normal people are disappointed by his stupidity. The pedo bear morons on his board proceed to praise Trump by claiming his stupidity is a play on the media.

Sweden was the rug that really tied the room together.

Now it's just a vapid expanse of fake wood paneling and bookshelves.

So sad.

Christ Almighty, are y'all really going to pretend that Sweden's immigration policy hasn't resulted in a complete and utter shitshow?

Trump never mentioned a terrorist attack. He said "look what happened last night in Sweden" and people inferred he meant a terrorist attack. He was sloppy with his wording(surprise surprise). He was referencing a story he saw the previous night about Sweden having a lot of problems with Muslim immigrants committing a lot of crimes, which is true.

I just happen to see that news report the previous night that Trump saw. It was NOT a Muslim attack. It was a story about all the new crime, rapes, and murders since they let in all those Syrian and Somalian immigrants. Said they had 27 rapes this year alone. That's what Trump saw, like I did.

1. Sweden opened its borders to Somalian and Syrian refugees in or around 2012 (the vast majority of which are Muslims).

2. Rapes have gone off of the charts, statistically 80% of which are committed by... Somalian and Syrian refugees.

3. Violent assaults, including grenade attacks, are a thing now when they weren't before.

Multiculturalism... dig it!

You're right. Sweden wasn't the rug that tied the room together.

Maybe it's the wood paneling and bookshelves that make it kitschy?

I mean suddenly we're all worried about Sweden. Like it's the bellwether of America.

The only thing that's ever happened in Sweden that followed in America was IKEA.

Calm the frick down.

I don't think anyone's pretending that. Are you all going to keep pretending that Trump does not throw out more than his fair share of falsehoods?

I think it is a very good pick and hope it pans out. I trust that it will. But that trust only goes as far as Trump will defer to his judgment when needed.

What was the falsehood in this context?

It's like y'all want to highlight the sapling in the great redwood forest.

"lulz drumpf said x+2, not x, what a dumbass"
"uh x is pretty fricking terrible and we don't talk about it much"
