NBC Falsely Suggests Trump Talked of ‘Terror’ in Sweden
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/20/2017 7:40:46 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

The MSM is falsely portraying President Trump as having alleged on Saturday that a “terror” attack had occurred the night before in Sweden. Take, for example, this NBC story headlined “Donald Trump Explains Sweden Terror Comment That Baffled a Nation.” In addition to the misleading headline, the story includes a video clip of President Trump making his remarks. The chyron at the bottom of the screen reads “President Trump appears to refer to a non-existent terror incident in Sweden.”

But if you listen to the president’s remarks, you’ll see that he never mentioned terror. He said: “The bottom line: 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? Sweden! They took in large numbers, they’re having problems like they never thought possible.”

View the videos of Pres. Trump's statement and the Tucker Carlson segment here.

They are enemies of the American people. I had some initial discomfort with President Trump saying that.

Then they doubled down.

They are bitter, dangerous enemies of the American people.

The press are now essentially billionaire blogger ghost writers.

Carlos Slim (Mexican billionaire - some say with drug ties) owns the NEW YORK TIMES.

Bezos owns the WASHINGTON POST.

Six companies own ALL the media in the U.S.

They now coordinate their political message across all media. TV shows, movies, news, late night comedy. All delivering a coordinated globalist message.

Sweden had elections in 2014, and the left coalition is in power after a number of years having been run by rhinos.

Sweden could very easily move much farther right but the center right refuses to team up with the “far right wing extremist nazis” of the SD.

I think it is inevitable that Sweden in 2018 elects a center right coalition. The socialists in Sweden have the lowest party affiliation in over 40 years.

Denmark and Finland now are center right....if it’s an indication of area politics. Bottom line folks, don’t give up on Sweden.

What the media did with this Sweden thing, with the help of the Swedish fake news was a little too cute by half. All you need to do is peruse the global headlines to see that Sweden is being raped and invaded to death.

Trump would be wise to toss in a Sweden reminder when events happen. Or, he should clarify what he meant and cite statistics of what is going on there.

The whole Swedish issue is vindicated by watching this 60 minutes video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ1_6s5OFmM

This explains what Trump is talking about. And it shows the issues. 60 will not show this again. But it should. This is what the left does not understand. Everyone should see this.

"You look at what's happening last night in Sweden".

When Pres. Trump uttered the words "happening last night" he actually was referring to a film clip of a terror incident in Sweden HE HAD SEEN ON TV THE NIGHT BEFORE..a clip which I also saw that night.

As he is prone to doing, he got his syntax all mixed up...and his unfortunate phrasing turned into an international incident.

The enemedia knows what he meant, they just ignore it...and they immediately go for the jugular after every opportunity they're handed on a silver platter.

Didn’t Obama claim there were 47 states in a speech?

He claimed he visited 57 states, had one more to go, and his campaign wouldn't allow him to visit Hawaii and Alaska. So even though the meme has been "57 states," he actually claimed there were 60 states in total.

And don’t forget MSNBC - it’s every bit as a Fake News Network.

Also article in Daily Caller:

http://dailycaller.com/2015/10/23/sweden-opened-its-doors-to-muslim-immigration-today-its-the-rape-capital-of-the-west-japan-didnt/

Here’s another article - murders, assaults, and rapes crisis by refugees - even people who compassionate enough to take them in are not spared - that’s because infidels are worse than dirt and deserve what ever the ROP radical does :

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7363/sweden-death-by-immigration

Semantics - The authorities may wish to act like there has been no terrorist attack, but I suspect that the people being murdered, raped, and assaulted might feel differently - I’m sure they felt terrorized.

I next expect NBC to say that President Trump said this:

“Captain Crunch is a space alien with antennae that broadcasts out SHOW TUNES! He’s gay and a threat to our tin can industry! Only a robot can save us now, and his name is ZOIDBERG! Why not Zoidberg? I’ll tell you why not. PUPPIES MAKE FINE SOUP! I hate the color purple, it’s too shaggy, like on the Three Stooges show! You cannot leave teh Iterwebz they is forever. Even this statement. OMG I get so much with this, this caste will I wish them do some thing about it. I mean, should you at some point arrrrrrrrrrrcquire some tincture of articulation and decide, hey, you’ve got the champagne chilled and the brie toasted or whatever the hell it is that they do with brie out there. I mean, you can’t use the stuff in a fondue and putting it on a Ritz cracker is pretty déclassé, so what are you really gonna do with it? I dunno. Which brings me to my next topic: why is it better to use a strawberry in a chocolate fondue than, say, an asparagus? At least you can dip the asparagus without getting your fingers burned. Sure, it makes your pee stink but it’s better than hearing Tina Brown squeal when you’re farting in the Atlantic boardroom, especially if you’ve been cheating with the pickled eggs like somebody I know but I’ll never do it again. I mean, who wants to pretend that the thin veneer of civilization is really all about THAT, Fondue, that is. You can’t fondue a pickled egg. Are you crazy?”

I hate to correct you, but that just isn't true.
It was CBS.

And they still can’t figure out why he gets away with trashing them daily and having the People believe him....morons are what morons do and the LSM does a lot of “moron stuff”.

They do the same thing every time he speaks. They don’t get the big picture, the connection he has with the American people. They don’t see that people with time (to watch the actual speech) and a brain relish his honesty with us about OUR own country and government.

They focus on THEMSELVES, as they have for decades, as if the speech or presser never happened, and the only news is what comes out of their anus filters. THEY will tell us what was important about the speech. “Don’t actually listen to President Trump. Listen to us filtering him for you.” So what THEY see are the few parts of the speech where they find they can parse him and call him
a) a liar
Or
b) crazy
And that is all they will do for 4 years.

Did I miss something? I don’t recall the word ‘terror’ being used.
I understood the Pres. to be talking about the crime and esp. rapes being committed .

And he was/is dead correct.
