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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saminoz Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 2 hours ago, klauskunkel said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sujoop Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited February 20, 2017 by sujoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

55Jay Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) 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.

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.
