President Trump Clarifies Sweden Remark on Twitter

“I thought it was going to start a fight, instead it humped the wooden moose thrice”, he said.

Mr Trump, who in his first weeks in office has tried to tighten USA borders sharply for national security reasons, told a rally on Saturday that Sweden was having serious problems with immigrants.

In all likelihood, Trump was merely reacting to something he’d seen on “the shows” the night before – specifically, a Fox News segment on Tucker Carlson’s show about rising crime in Sweden – and somehow, through the magic of Trump-ese, that translated into “last night in Sweden”. “There’s absolutely no data to support that”, Raji said of the Trump administration claims.

Taking off his glasses and affecting a somber tone, Stephen Colbert encouraged his viewers to “never fjorget” the people who didn’t die in a Swedish terrorist attack that never happened.

“That’s how bad things have gotten under Trump, we’re getting roasted by Swedes now”, Meyers said. One particular person who questioned the motivation behind Trump’s comments is Carl Bildt, the former Swedish Foreign Minister.

Earlier, Mr Bildt tweeted: “Last year there were (approximately) 50% more murders only in Orlando/Orange (County) in Florida, where Trump spoke the other day, than in all of Sweden”.

A self-described “fire starter”, Karlsson spent some time addressing Trump’s comments after he took over the account Monday morning. “However, Sweden’s crime rate “.

Sweden’s Security Police said it had no reason to change the terror threat level.

But The Washington Post failed to cite a March 2015 report which showed 77% of the rapes in Sweden were committed by 2 percent of the Muslim male population.

“No one”, Colbert quipped in reply.

That prompted a response from Swedish authorities, who say that everything is going swimmingly and the many thousands of refugees it has accepted are integrating well. However, Sweden has a population of almost 9.6 million, to Orange’s 1.2 million, meaning the murder rate is still far lower.

He said: “When you are in a hole, stop digging”.

Thus is the mystery solved about the Swedish terror attack that wasn’t.

“The police reports don’t have a box you tick about whether it’s a Swedish citizen or an immigrant”, Lund told ABC News, noting that the council does a lot of research on why people commit crimes.

– @sweden / Max (@sweden) February 20, 2017Crime in Sweden has not increased over the last 20 years. In 2016, 28,939 applied for asylum in Sweden, according to the agency.

The effort is personal for Karlsson, as well.

Claims of a rampant rise in crime and so-called “no-go zones” are also hard to substantiate.

“As I’ve stated before, Sweden is facing true challenges”.

He doesn’t plan on keeping his @Sweden tenure too serious, though. “Give the public a break”, he tweeted Monday. But he does feel lucky to share his perspective on Sweden at a moment when everyone is talking about it, surreal as it may be. You look at what’s happening all over the world. “It’s like an episode of Seinfeld“.
