"It Looks Like A War Zone": Trump Vindicated After Violent Riot Erupts In Swedish Suburb

As we reported last night, just days after the media mocked Trump for his allegations of major problems with Swedish migrant policies, the president was vindicated after a violent riot broke out in the borough of Rinkeby, also known as "little Mogadishu." Now that the incident is over, in their "post-mortem" Swedish officials confirm that riots erupted in the "heavily immigrant Stockholm suburb" Monday night, as masked looters set cars ablaze and threw rocks at cops, injuring one police officer, Swedish officials said.
The violence erupted just days after President Trump was ridiculed during a Saturday campaign rally for mentioning Sweden alongside a list of European targets of terror. Trump later said his “You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden” remark was in response to a Fox News report on the country’s refugee crime crisis that aired on Friday evening.
"Sweden. They took in large numbers [of refugees],” Trump added at the Florida rally. “They’re having problems like they never thought possible.”
Sweden’s official Twitter account – which is operated by a different user each week – tweeted at Trump on Monday morning: “Hey Don, this is @Sweden speaking! It’s nice of you to care, really, but don’t fall for the hype. Facts: We’re OK!”
Events just hours later refuted that optimistic assessment.

The violence in Rinkeby began around 8 p.m., when officers arrested a suspect at an underground station on drug charges, The Local reported. A group soon gathered, hurling rocks and other objects at officers and prompting one cop to fire his gun “in a situation that demanded he use his firearm,” police spokesman Lars Bystrom said.

Sweden is the first to fall, followed by Denmark, Germany, France, etc... Islam is a cancer. Good luck with that, dopes.
At least Trump has a chance at saving our country.

But...but...how can this be? The brilliant, ready-for-Congress Chelsea Clinton mocked Trump about this on Twitter yesterday, that it was fake news on his part.

What the media did was to put a fake narrative to what President Trump said. He was describing the problems related to crime, and the media said that President Trump was telling us about terror in Sweden. More jackassary from the enemedia.

The last Swede will still be saying “There is no migrant problem in Sweden!” right before they chop his head off.
My grandmother who married a Swede used to say, “stubborn as a Swede”, instead of “stubborn as a mule”.

President Trump was right and he relies on the truth to be his acceptance by most Americans. It is the communists Democrats that cannot face truth and are determined to make America a communists corrupt empire.

Sweden is proving President Trump right in regards to his stance on temporarily halting refugees from the countries President Obama mentioned in 2015 about terrorist threats.

Trump’s strongest asset is that reality is on his side.

Denmark is starting to deal with the problem. Smarter than the Swedes.

There is tremendous truth in that statement. The Left has only lies and illusions — and with these things, and nothing else, they hope to win the game. Trump lives in reality and tells the truth. Yuge advantage.

Common folks. It's clearly a traditional Mogidishu campfire. You're all just culturally insensitive, culturist, nationalist pigs for judging their wonderful contribution to our beautiful multicultural tapestry.

Riot? I think not. Looks more like a barbecue with too many marshmallows falling on the fire. It’s time that peaceful Mooslims stopped taking an unwarranted bad rap for simply participating in a few camp fires gone awry!
