After Trump suggests a non-existent terrorist attack took place in Sweden, supporters claim the media is covering up migrant crimes
There is little evidence that Sweden is suffering under a migrant-led crime wave. Composite: Clive
Donald Trumps comments during a rally in Florida on Saturday night that seemed to suggest a non-existent terrorist attack had taken place in Sweden have pitted the Scandinavian nation against some fervent supporters of the US president.
Defending his plans to ban refugees and travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, Trump told a crowd in Melbourne: You look at whats happening in Germany, you look at whats happening last night in Sweden. No terrorist attack or major crime took place in Sweden on Friday night.
While the Swedes are still scratching their heads over Trumps comments, and the former prime minister Carl Bildt wonders on Twitter what the president had been smoking, some Trump supporters believe the media is intent on covering up what migrants have done to Sweden.

Groper Don the Con is a pathological LIAR - see how they now twist his lies. He is fugging with sovereign countries for one reason - he wants to rile up the racists everywhere.

contractors and workers, than a fact-based report from a nation with a track record of honesty.
Shows you how desperate the repube snowflakes are to Assume the Position and have a Big Bully Daddy tell them what to think and do.
Not really even a molecule of dignity, honor or nobility in that.
You know what I mean?

. . . he (his puppet masters) can't launch the next wave of orange shirt pogroms, without riling up the racists everywhere, every day.
