    So he DOES just repeat things he hears without researching it for factual correctness. Thanks for reiterating that.

    I'm not being rude, but that little 'signing off' word make your post look like one of DT's Tweets. [​IMG]

    Don't need to check transcripts when it's on video, Ralphie.

    According to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Sweden topped the list of surveyed countries with 66.5 rapes per 100,000 population. This report was published in 2012, roughly three years before Sweden's open-door asylum policy began admitting hundreds of thousands of refugees. Significantly it also predates the Syrian civil war...

    From Wikipedia:

    "A frequently cited source when comparing Swedish rape statistics internationally is the regularly published report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). In 2012, according to the report by UNODC, Sweden was quoted as having 66.5 cases of reported rapes per 100,000 population,[34] based on official statistics by Brå.[35] This is the highest number of reported rape of any nation in the report. The high number of reported rapes in Sweden can partly be explained by the comparatively broad definition of rape, the method of which the Swedish police record rapes, a high confidence in the criminal justice system, and an effort by the Government to decrease the number of unreported rapes."

    Sorry, I'm afraid you're going to have to come up with more than misleading statements and alternative facts to support Rapey Cheeto. Even though he was clearly insinuating a terrorist attack had taken place (actually there have been racist attacks on migrants and non-white Swedes!)

    Whenever he is called out by the media for saying an obvious falsehood (his inauguration numbers, winning in a landslide, 5 million illegals casting votes, etc. etc. etc.) his excuse usually is "I was told that by somebody" or "It's on the internet"! His latest a few days ago went something like this: "I had the biggest electoral margin of victory of any winner since Reagan" Reporter: "Actually Obama had a bigger one" Trump: I meant involving Republican candidates" Reporter: "Ah, George H. W. Bush had bigger" Trump: ******crickets******

    Intentional! Glad you noticed.

    Getting the number of states wrong (saying 57 rather than perhaps the intended 47) is an innocent enough mistake. It does not lend itself to any policy or issue of great importance. However, inventing terrorist attacks on US soil ("Bowling Green Massacre") or abroad (listing "what happened in Sweden last night") alongside a list of terrorist attacks, is a dangerously misleading mistake at best and propaganda at worst. Huge difference. No comparison whatsoever.

    Yeah, but don't you think it's more purple prose than outright lying in order to deceive? And most of it is innocuous anyway. Nobody said he's perfect? Just the best of a very bad bunch.

    Oh right - very good. I like it. :thumbsup:

    He referenced "refugee" violence while on the topic of safeguarding America.

    Does it really matter? The fact is that Sunni Muslim immigrants have been raping women across Europe. And those three had audacity to post live on Facebook. what do you think, is it normal thing to do?

    ...When politically correct ideologues can actually quote these verses from the Quran, they may begin to address the problem:

    Qur'an (33:50) - "O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those (slaves) whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee"

    Qur'an (8:69) - "But (now) enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good"

    But just as Obama can't talk sensibly about jihad warfare in Islam, neither can the European socialists.

    Now, next door to Sweden, Norway recently expelled almost a thousand Muslim immigrants for serious crimes, and behold! The violent crime rate dropped by 30% in Norway. Amazing but true.

    Europe still suffers from a paralyzing multiculturalist hangover. It is awash in the mind-fog of PC, although here and there signs of sanity are gradually showing up like wildflowers after winter. The biggest trouble is that today's political class rose to power on the multicultural reign of intimidation. "Racist" scapegoats were viciously smeared by politicians, the media, and the schools, enforced by eager volunteers – just like the PC commissars you and I have met in our own lives, the willing enforcers of politically correct lies.

    With the help of IKEA's workers free overtime effort Sweden has already rebuilt from Friday night's incident.

    He isn't trolling anyone, the moron watches Fox News and then badly parrots what he hears there into his speeches.

    It's happened more than once word for word.

    Nothing like lying about how a. Inch if Americans died in Benghazi😜. Remember it was a video. Let's recall the outrage from the MSM? Nope there was none. Only Fox and talk radio were upset. The MSM said it was just a basic mistake.

    We may truly have the same increase in crime due to allowing unvetted refugees into our country as we now see in Sweden.
    SWEDEN, who would believe such a peaceful neutral country like Sweden would have this thrust upon them.
    Wake up folks, this is really a possibility if we don't proceed with caution.

    How is he not trolling everyone? What he said is totally irrelevant. Thousands of journalists and many more thousands of morons spent hours chasing the non-existent news. Bloody laughable.

    When is this happening? Is Trump no longer going to put refugees through the nearly 2 year vetting process they have been under?

    Also, did he name a date that it happened? If not, maybe he is in fact referring to the Nazi violence last month.

    ni one is attacking the first amendment. We are just seeing the mainstream media flush their credibility down the toilet with their obsession with attacking trump, who is actually doing a pretty damn good job working to deliver what he promised. Not bad at all for only a month as president.

    The report was an accurate summation of the political situation in Sweden resulting from their problems with ME immigrants. Name calling doesn't change that.

    The policies are gov directives - written or unwritten.

    I heard what he said and read the transcript of what he said, and he didn't say there was a terrorist attack in Sweden. You however, have decided that "it's obvious that he ment[sic] Sweden had a terror attack."

    Just because you make up a talking point doesn't make it true. It just makes it fake.

    How am I reveling in death by telling the truth? Can you explain your personal attack or is it just easier to attack your opponent because you can't handle the reality of what your police did?

    Saw the video and read the transcript. Whatever you are hallucinating that he said, he didn't.
