'JeSuisIkea': Trump's comments confuse Swedes as president's supporters cry

After Trump suggests a non-existent terrorist attack took place in Sweden, supporters claim the media is covering up migrant crimes

Donald Trump’s comments during a rally in Florida on Saturday night that seemed to suggest a non-existent terrorist attack had taken place in Sweden have pitted the Scandinavian nation against some fervent supporters of the US president.

Defending his plans to ban refugees and travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, Trump told a crowd in Melbourne: “You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden.” No terrorist attack or major crime took place in Sweden on Friday night.

While the Swedes are still scratching their heads over Trump’s comments, and the former prime minister Carl Bildt wonders on Twitter what the president had been smoking, some Trump supporters believe the media is “intent on covering up what migrants have done to Sweden”.

contractors and workers, than a fact-based report from a nation with a track record of honesty.

Shows you how desperate the repube snowflakes are to Assume the Position and have a Big Bully Daddy tell them what to think and do.

Not really even a molecule of dignity, honor or nobility in that.

You know what I mean?

. . . he (his puppet masters) can't launch the next wave of orange shirt pogroms, without riling up the racists everywhere, every day.
