The Swedish terror that only Donald Trump was brave enough to call out

"While addressing a rally in Florida on Saturday evening, well known truth teller and non-stuff-maker-upper Honest Donald Trump did what no other world leader was game to do: call out the horrific terrorism that struck Sweden the night before.

"You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden," he said, drawing comparisons with the terrorist attacks in Nice, Brussels and Paris in the middle of a rant about unchecked immigration leading to terrorism."

(snip)

"Tragically, however, not even the sequin-festooned people of Sweden will know of their fate, trapped as they are by the Tryckfrihetsförordningen, or Freedom of the Press Act, which ensures that government cannot interfere in the operation of the media. And we all know what letting media fearlessly operate without direct government oversight means: fake news!

"So thank you, President Donald "Definitely Sane" Trump, for having the guts to once again take time out of what is evidently a pretty cruisy sort of an official schedule to yell fresh insights at the less discerning people of Florida.

"After all, why should reality have a monopoly on truth? Sad!"
