Hail Trump!
Donald Trump at his campaign style rally Saturday in Florida
"you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden who would believe this?"
Not the Swedes.
Nothing particularly nefarious happened in Sweden on Friday — or Saturday, for that matter — and Swedes were left baffled


“Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound,” Carl Bildt, a former prime minister and foreign minister, wrote on Twitter.

Brushed under the rug. Everything in Europe is fine.

Hard to believe we now have to go to the foreign media to get the truth.

I find it more disturbing he got the news from Fox News and then just started talking about it, implying there was an attack. He didn't put the news in context, just spewed it.

He does not process things, he just rolls with whatever the hears on cable tv or his own media sources.
That's the problem.

So, if there is an attack somewhere in the world or here, is he going to be cautious on his statements, or is he going to be as bombastic as he has been? Because, remember, nearly every single thing first reported during an attack is wrong.

Agree, he jumps the gun and doesn't think before he speaks.

He's also winning because in a chaotic world; that's all the media can focus on.

It's like not being able to argue with a great article and pointing out the grammar errors.

The media is fake news. Where does Trump get his news? From the media.

Mercy! I just don't know which is worse: Being Trump and rolling with the news you hear or being Obama and not knowing anything until you read about it in the newspaper just like the average person.

Presidents these days...

Hail Trump.
Ravings of the right. Another Trump lie and his defenders continue it. Life is much less endanger there than here.

I was curious if that might be fake news. So I found may way to the AP wire and scanned all the headlines. Nothing. Entered a search for Sweden. Nothing. Only when I searched for Stockholm did the article come up.

Not saying the AP buried the story or anything....

I've given up trying to point out all the hypocracy. Benghazi investigations but not Russian ties or this yemen raid,
repeal ACA 30+ times when there's no consequence then when they're actually in a position to do something about it, they got nothing.
