Trump would be better of not opening his mouth or just read from a prepared script so he doesn't make silly mistakes and citing wrong facts and the constant need to clarify himself after every speech.

If I were a cartoonist I would paint him sitting in a lunatic asylum watching Fox News and shouting "terrific, great," and some of his never changing always repeated favorite words, when watching war scenes on the TV screen, his left thumb and forefinger building an O, his mouth open like a rectangle.

Yes, I did. It's a weak example for proving his point. If he took the time to do a little research he would have found  a better country to get his point across. Trump has a tendency to undermine his own words by speaking off the cuff without really knowing what the facts are.

He will finally succeed in the coup de force that by default everything he says will be considered as false, null and void

Well i think it's bizarre that Fox news spreads false information......Trump should close it down for that reason.

The President watched TV and then thought what he saw happened that night. So, is the President either dumb, or negligent for not verifying facts beforehand? Since these types of "mistakes" seem to continue to happen unabated, and I don't believe he is stupid, I now understand that he is catering to and manipulating the dumb majority of Americans and uses fear to push his agenda. Facts do not play a role, unless they support his plan

I really can't see what all the fuss is about.  You'd think that the US would be well used to having to stage manage a dumb as shiite President after wet nursing Bush the retard for eight years.

 

During press conference or any recorded occasions, you could see the fear in Bush's staffs' eyes whenever he opened his mouth.

Yes we learnt that there are "alternative" facts/truths. Guess from whom?

[Credo]

The President of the US has no business talking about other countries.   The US has enough problems of its own and discussing a non-event in another country is a deflection.    While he was talking about attacks in Sweden, there were major terrorist attacks in Pakistan and Somalia.   

 

The enemy is not Islam.   It is terrorism.   Sweden's situation is Sweden's problem.   It has nothing to do with the US.

Interesting blend of visitor comments about a market in the heart of a supposed  'no-go' immigrant zone in Malmo:
https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g189839-d4345325-Reviews-Mollevangstorget-Malmo_Skane_County.html

No doubt there's roughness & crime in poor areas of Malmo for example, blended with immigrant youth gangs + local gangs but NO-GO?  From Birmingham to Malmo, this is an alt-right perpetuated myth.
 
How The Myth Of "No-Go Zones" In Sweden Took Hold Among Right-Wing Media:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishmaeldaro/no-go-zone-myth
 
Another big blow-up (or mock-up) was the incident of an Aussie 60 Minutes crew being set upon by masked men (who just 'happened' to be: a ) masked and: b ) at the eact same spot/time) as their visit to the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby. Turns out the 60 minutes crew were guided there by a well known anti-immigration (+ALT-Right) activist and writer Jan Sjunnesson. All rather 'made for TV' (or at least ALT-Right TV).
http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/liz-hayes-recounts-60-minutes-violent-encounter-in-sweden-20160320-gnmwp6.html

Certainly stronger vetting and deportation of violent criminals is needed. However, there's no reasoning with many irrational alt-right supporters who in reality do not want ANY Muslims, period, full-stop (and would prefer no Poles, East Europeans,  Africans, etc, etc either, if we're being honest). Then there's the irreconcilable contingent who likely are afraid of their own shadows and check under their very beds nightly in fear a radical 'Moose-Lamb' is laying in wait... Thus, Trump is simply playing pied-piper / reactionary Buffoon in chief to his xenophobic, simple-minded, easily riled up or spooked base of mostly under-educated followers.

Basically, Trump takes cues from FOX & Brietbart for his vision of a new Whitehouse, America and world.

Of course not, the newschannels are being paid to gather and report worldnews, that's their job. If they can't or won't do so than just sack them on the spot Trump-style....

Once again shows Trump again shows  he is good at running for President but  no good at being a PRESIDENT.

He is simply incapable of separating reality in a complex world from his simple minded pre conceptions.

Because of that failing he should be removed from the  Presidency in a complicated and complex real world environment he is not able to handle

This is not a hostile comment, just a statement of the current President's capacity for the complex job he inherited'

Let's just face it, he is mentally unable to handle the complex job of being President.

 

You are spot on.

It is extremely dangerous when the President of the United States starts spreading mis-information.   There is a lot at stake, not to mention the credibility.    What if he decides to say something like N. Korea or Iran launched a bomb (instead of a missile test)?    What if he watches a movie and decides it's true?

 

I have no idea how the diplomats and embassies are going to deal with this nut case.   

 

The problem here is that he and his staff repeatedly spread it. And then they try to convince the public that the media is against them and not to believe the media lies. Hey only listen to us while we make things up on the fly. The sad thing is that many Trump supporters will believe anything he says, and this is creating a dangerous environment. This is the second fake terrorist incident in the past couple weeks, and then you can add the anti-Muslim attack in Canada which clearly did not support their case, which Sean Spicer referred to as if it did which would make it three in a month.

It's not unusual for the mind to wander and become less sharp as we age.

 

I can understand how Trump might have been referring to the general situation in Sweden and that his most recent reminder of it was in a program he was watching "last night".   It could be that simple, but as we've seen countless times, he's unable or unwilling to admit even simple, harmless errors. Instead, he doubles down and drives what little credibility he has left, into the dirt.  Only on the job 1 month.

Are you for real Credo, what US President has not spread mis information. Boy Bush and his band of war mongering sicko's weren't bad at it were they.

There are many people that get their news from facebook in sweden as well, spread by leftist or far right wing populistic parties, the USA is not alone in this.

 

The populistic party has about 17% in Sweden now. So it's not a majority like your try to perpetuate.

Again you turn the facts upside down matey...Trump relies on the news from the professional reporters from FOX, not the other way around.
