If it’s on Twitter it’s true
Donnie from Queens is still insisting on his tv-sourced claim that Sweden is in tragic disarray because of the Foreign Hordes, even as everyone in sight tries to explain to him that Fox News isn’t the best place to get intel.
Officials in both countries expressed alarm and dismay on Monday at Mr. Trump’s remarks. Senator Bob Casey, a Pennsylvania Democrat, said the president should get his information from intelligence agencies and not from television.
Right?? I told him that myself yesterday, but I doubt he manages to read all the responses to his tweets. (I’m kidding. I know damn well he doesn’t read any of them. If he did how would he find time to watch Fox News?)
The Swedish Embassy in Washington offered the Trump administration a briefing on its immigration policies. Sweden’s prime minister, Stefan Lofven, said he was surprised by Mr. Trump’s comments, and noted that Sweden ranks highly on international comparisons of economic competitiveness, human development and income inequality.
“We have challenges, no doubt about that,” he allowed, adding: “We must all take responsibility for using facts correctly and for verifying anything we spread.”
Yet even before the prime minister spoke, Mr. Trump pursued his attack. On Twitter, he suggested that the news media was covering up problems related to migration in Sweden.
Give the public a break – The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!

In other words, not all immigrants are perfect. Who knew?!
Also it’s kind of funny how Trump’s grandfather was an immigrant, and his mother was an immigrant, and two of his wives are immigrants. His children are the children of immigrants!!
That just proves his point. Look how much damage he and his children are causing this country.
Hey, so so-called Persident has something else in common with the King of Sweden, Cal Gusf. Not just age, and not just a tendency for roving tentacles. By the previous official definition, the whole family is immigrants.
Hoo new.
iknklast,
Perhaps Trump should show his birth certificate.
Rrr,
Er, are you referring to the Bernadotte family or Trump’s family?
RJW: Both, but intentionally a bit vague. At least one parent born in another country, see?
Oh, but of _course_ he’s doubling down. He hopes there’s a large enough audience will swallow it, and there are certainly plenty, still, I figure.
(And, of course, he’s congenitally incapable of admitting error. Even if (when) it finally reduces him to ridicule with all but a vanishing rump of diehards.)
Its the Rotherham effect. Yes, no one wants to ‘play into the hands’ of anti-immigrant racists. And yes, Islamic micro-cultures can be cesspits of hatred and violence.
And NO, that has almost nothing to do with actual terror attacks.
