4:02Now PlayingTrump LIES Making Up Sweden Terrorist Attack Justify Muslim BAN Rally-#AlternativeFacts #FAKENEWS
Trump LIED at his rally saying that there was a terror attack in Sweden last night, which is COMPLETELY false. It was completely made up. People are now drawing parallels of Trump lying about the swedish terror attack to KellyAnne Conway's #bowlinggreenmassacre. This administration is an ABSOLUTE joke. Trump #AlternativeFacts are more abundant than ever. Swedish Terror Attack. False Swedish Terror Attack. False Swedish Terror Attack. Trump Sweden Terror Attack. Trump Lies About Trump Sweden Terror Attack. Trump LIES Sweden Terror Attack. Trump LIES About Muslim Ban Swedish Attack. Trump LIE Swedish Terror Attack. Trump makes up Swedish Terror Attack. Trump Makes Up Terror Attack. Trump #AlternativeFacts. Trump #bowlinggreenmassacre. Trump Florida Rally. Trump had a rally in Florida. Trump lied in his rally in Florida. Trump Florida Rally LIES. Trump LIED About A Fake Terror Attack.
At his rally in Melbourne, Florida on Saturday, Pres. Donald Trump listed a terror attack that never happened as part of the rationale for his controversial anti-Muslim travel ban. In defending his executive order banning Islamic refugees and travelers from 7 Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S., Trump said, “When you look at what’s happening in Germany, when 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 like they never thought possible,” he went on. However, there was no terror attack in Sweden on Friday. Perhaps, as some Twitter users suggested, the attack in Sweden happened in the same parallel universe as Kellyanne Conway’s fictitious “Bowling Green massacre.” Press Secretary Sean Spicer was recently busted for citing a fictitious terror attack in Atlanta. When called on it, Spicer said that he meant to say Orlando. With relatives and friends of the victims of the real terrorist attacks on 9/11 protesting the Trump administration’s exploitation of the tragedy for political gain, perhaps members of the administration, including Trump himself, are feeling the pressure to create more “alternative facts.” Trump, discussing terror, seamlessly mentions incident "last night in Sweden". There was NO "incident" in Sweden last night. We survivors of the Bowling Green Massacre stand in solidarity with the tragic victims of The Sweden Incident. Oh, the horror. The horror. President Donald Trump cited a nonexistent incident in Sweden while talking about the relationship between terror attacks and refugees around the world during a rally in Melbourne, Florida, on Saturday. "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 are having problems like they never thought possible. You look at what's happening Brussels, you look at what's happening all over the world," Trump said. No incident occurred in Sweden on Friday night. However, Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran an interview on Friday night's broadcast of "Tucker Carlson Tonight" with documentarian and media personality Ami Horowitz, who presented a clip from a new film documenting alleged violence committed by refugees in Sweden. The segment went on extensively about a supposed crime surge in Sweden and its links to immigrant populations. Crime rates in Sweden have stayed relatively stable, with some fluctuations, over the last decade, according to the 2016 Swedish Crime Survey. This isn't the first time that there has been a correlation between Trump's statements and programming on cable news, of which he is a noted fan. In late January, Trump tweeted about gun violence in Chicago shortly after after an "O'Reilly Factor" segment on the same topic, which cited the same statistics and even used the word "carnage,"
a recent favorite noun of Trump's.
Trump #FAKENEWS.
