Trump’s statement about a terror attack in Sweden were roundly condemned by media outlets as unfounded, but new video footage has been found verifying the claims of a terror attack.
The video shows a female terrorist at a well known Swedish eatery get into an altercation with a cook. The cook threatens her, and the terrorist responds by shouting something in a foreign language and detonating a bomb.
I’m going to go ahead and post what will inevitably be an unpopular opinion.
Ban Swedes. Except the attractive ones. Have you ever seen an attractive terrorist? No, because hotties don’t need to use violence - a raised eyebrow will send most people running for cover, in fear of said hottie even saying something dripping with disdain.

[/QUOTE]That’s not a well known Swedish eatery. That’s a well known mock Swedish eatery. Trump should actually have expressed concerning about what happened last night in mock Sweden
But he actually did mock Sweden.
How do you know, do you speak mock Swedish?
You know… Depending on when Trump said that, it might have been a bit of “telegraph game” (or “Chinese whispers”), with Trump getting some distorted second-hand information about an incident in Barcelona that involved a Swedish driver, and him shooting up his mouth as he is wont to do.
On February 21, a Swedish national stole a small truck transporting butane gas cylinders (many people in Spain use butane gas cylinders for cooking at home) in Barcelona, got into the main ring road and started speeding on the wrong way with the truck. There was a police chase with shots fired. The truck was finally stopped and the driver was arrested.
The driver had a history of psychiatric problems, had no criminal record (at least in Spain), was not armed, and was immediately sent to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. His name was reported as being Joakim Robin Berggren.
The police thinks that it was either a psychotic break, or that the guy was under the influence of drugs. The Spanish government categorically denied that this had anything to do with terrorism.
One woman was hurt when one butane cylinder fell off the truck as it was speeding towards the ring road and hit her on the leg.
Info in Spanish: Persecución a tiros de un camión de butano en la Ronda del Litoral
Info from the BBC (a bit sketchy; the Spanish-language link gives more detailed info): Swede detained after Barcelona police fire on stolen butane gas truck - BBC News
So… Perhaps Trump heard or read something about “a Swedish driver”, a “truck with flammable gas cylinders” and “police chase”, put 2 and 2 together, and got 37235.
I don’t know, this is just speculation. But as I said, depending on when he said that thing about Sweden…
It isn’t even as understandable a misunderstanding as that. He said himself that that was his summary of a documentary (slanted and based on out-of-date statistics) on Fox News about crime and immigrants in Sweden that he’d seen the previous night. And that was his considered analysis and understanding of the situation.
Nope. The Swedish guy was yesterday morning Barna time, the Trump line was previous.

I’ve had mock Swedish meatballs.

I’m sorry, I don’t speak mock Swedish.
