So that's an acceptable excuse to create alternative facts? Is that how this works?

What I was referring to happened last friday;

12:17 AM: Police officers initiated a chase for a fleeing Peugeot through central parts of the Swedish capital of Stockholm. The pursuit ended in police officers ramming the suspect at Engelbrektsgatan. The driver is now accused of driving under the influence, traffic violation and car theft.
What happened in Sweden last night

Um, what?

The San Bernardino attack actually happened. I know of exactly no one who says otherwise.

So far, only Trump thinks there was a noteworthy terrorist attack in Sweden Friday night. If you know otherwise, I'm sure we would all like to know too.

Neo Nazis attacked a Swedish Refugee Centre recently, it was largely under reported bit did involve explosives.

Donald Trump is right, there was a recent attack in Sweden. By neo-Nazis on a refugee centre | The Independent

Three neo-Nazi suspected of bomb attack against refugee centres in Sweden

You only have to use google to see the on-going tension and Far Right incidents in Sweden.

Bomb Attacks tend to make Presidential Security Briefings, even if they are in Sweden.

Then if that's what he meant, that's what he should have said.

Clear speaking is the result of clear thinking. Fuzzy speaking is the result of fuzzy thinking. Fuzzy thinking is a worrisome trait in a US president.

Do you read the news at all?
No one has been caught in as many lies so you can quit with the false equivalencies....

Fact Checkers Prove That 91% of the Things Donald Trump Says Are False
Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, is at the bottom of the Politifact list with a sad 9% of true or mostly true statements. Just 9% of the things Donald Trump says are mostly related to the truth.
And the thing is, the majority of Americans are not surprised by this.

I've searched and I cant find him using those words.
Stop twisting yourselves into pretzels trying to defend a bozo who speaks without thinking, or perhaps never thinks at all.

Unfortunately, the Trump Cult does not understand that there are 'implied' meanings in the context of a paragraph. You know 'continuous thought' which some people are capable of? What do you think he's referring to? Sad!

"...During a campaign-style rally on Saturday in Florida, Mr. Trump issued a sharp if discursive attack on refugee policies in Europe, ticking off a list of places that have been hit by terrorists.

“You look at what’s happening,” he told his supporters. “We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this?”...

"...But the context of his remarks — he mentioned Sweden right after he chastised Germany, a destination for refugees and asylum seekers fleeing war and deprivation — suggested that he thought it might have...."

There might or might not be something of substance behind Trump's words yesterday, and that's the problem. He's a master of obfuscation. Who the heck knows what he's talking about? He's never specific, so viewers fill in the blanks with whatever they fear the most while Trump retains plausible deniability.

In other words......He DIDNT say that there was a "terrorist attack" in Sweden on Friday.

Thanks for playing!
