    Why do you think he couldn't quote it?

    The report was produced by a right wing anti European group, it is just an opinion piece. Nothing more.

    Trump wasn't clear that he was referencing Tucker Carlson's show which was on last night talking about this.

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...t-sweden-experiencing-migrant-crime-wave.html

    So you can hide your head in the sand, but migrant crime in Sweden is real.

    Then you have evidence to combat it right?

    Are the cops who came out exposing the immigrant crime rate based on their real world experience, are they lying too in your head?

    It is an opinion piece, what do you not understand about that.

    But since you insist, look at the fate of the Sweden Democrat party who are the ones most closely aligned to the report, they are going down in the opinion polls from third place already!

    OK, so the sole sufficient reason for discounting the report is to attack the source as not credible for some general and meaningless reason. Got it.

    So you can't disprove it just as I said.

    Nice dodge at not looking at the reality of immigrant crime in Sweden and you couldn't even acknowledge the 2 policemen who have come out and gave their own eye witness experience to back this assertion up.

    Where is your evidence? Beyond an opinion poll of course.

    Which is exactly what started our conversation, you made a statement and then backed it up with more opinion, you think that one elite is right because they offer you confirmation bias, that is it.

    It is hilarious how certain people are falling all over themselves to defend the continued incompetency of the buffoon holding the office of POTUS.

    Trumpies defend him with things like, "Trump was simply referring to Sweden's rampant jaywalking problem".

    The truth is, Trump is an incompetent fool who tweets anything he sees on Fox News like a trained seal.

    Got it, you are confused between my remarks about the Bruges Group, and the Fox News report. Typical, you can not make this stuff up!

    If Trump's lips are moving, he's lying. His cult members will figure that out some day.

    The statement was based on a cover up and disregard for the negative effects of ME immigration which are disregarded by elites globally. The report back up that statement and also discusses the rise of the Sweden Democrats who place the welfare of Swedes first. This is a phenomena which is occurring world wide and specifically in Europe. Confirmation bias is not involved.

    It is not a dodge at all,it is a fact that you were criticising my remarks on the Bruges Group and asking me about policeman from a report from Fox News.
    I have not mentioned the Fox News report, but now you say I am dodging your questions rather than admit that you simply assumed I was commenting about the Fox Report. Has every bit of honesty gone out of you lot?

    It is just another opinion pamphlet, what do you find so hard to understand? You agree with it because it confirms your bias. And as I have said the Sweden Democrats are the third largest party and going down in the polls, so it would appear that the people of Sweden have rejected it. They do actually live there, and might have a better idea of what is going on!

    So Trump Is now so desperate to say that he was only repeating, (or more accurately just it making up), what he heard from a news media that he claims are FAKE news media to back up his own FAKE news.

    That's exactly what it is.

    You don't want to argue the reality of Trump's claim. That's the fallacy you are defending.

    Try being honest about your argument.

    You claimed:

    The report was produced by a right wing anti European group, it is just an opinion piece. Nothing more.

    And you can't defend your claim its false in any way shape or form. You can't even provide a single fact to dispute the article whatsoever. I have pointed out that piece has merit and have given multiple examples of supporting evidence while you provide nothing but your bias to claim its false. Welcome to reality.

    Ummm... YEAH it really matters. Presidents don't get to make up terror events in order to justify their polices!

    Either. You haven't provided a single fact to dispute any of it.

    How about you come back with your factual basis for doubting either article.
