Trump doing what demagogues do

[Cancel 2020.1]

Basically, exaggerating and fabricating threats, to try to jack up the fear:

"We've got to keep our country safe," he said. "You look at what's happening in Germany. You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible."

Nothing happened the other night in Sweden. Not even a Bowling Green-type massacre.

But I know - we're not really supposed to take him literally (a.k.a. believe a word he says).

Are you denying Sweden has an immigration problem?

Are you denying Sweden has an immigration problem?

What happened last night in Sweden?

Though, he is right about Sweden taking in too many, they have recently cut way back on immigrants.

And Germany is also having problems.

So, Thing, what is it that he said is wrong?

In the best interest of the Swedish people, if any born in Sweden woman over 18 need a home, I volunteer...

Not at all. They prohibit the Irish.

I have no idea what last night in Sweden has to do with anything lol.

But for Trump to be fear mongering Sweden's immigration policy has to be honky-dory and it's anything but.

Trump said it, it is in his remarks. Totally made up stuff as is his usual.

This is what Trump said:

While speaking at a rally in Florida, Trump directed his audience to “look at what’s happening in Sweden last night," telling them that the Scandinavian country was “having problems like they never thought possible."

Among the most notable things to happen during the night Trump mentioned, according to one Swedish paper, was a drunk driver being arrested and a freeway being shut down because of “strong winds and snow.” Neither were related to terrorism."

I do love this quote from Bildt, though:

“What has he been smoking?” Carl Bildt, former prime minister of Sweden, asked in a tweet.

Alleged gang rape shown on Facebook shocks Sweden

Outrage and shock are spreading across Sweden over a case against three men of foreign origin arrested on suspicion of raping a woman and broadcasting it live on Facebook.

Swedish authorities said Wednesday that the case against the unidentified men was "growing stronger" amid an increasing backlash against immigrants in a country that took in more asylum seekers per capita than any other nation in Europe last year.

Maybe he is talking about this and should have said other, instead of last night. He really is not a good speaker.

Did he say that or even hint at it? He is addressing Trump's comment of some imagined terrorist attack in Sweden.

Um, he quoted it right in his OP Queen.

Trump said it, Thing didn't, Thing's comment was in regards to 45's stupid lie about an attack in Sweden. Thing made no comment in regards to their immigration policies or problem.

I said he quoted it.

Also, I just read about the facebook attack, and wonder if he was referring to that. I am not sure if he was referring to a terrorist attack. He is such a horrible speaker, it is hard to tell.
