Sweden Democrats: Trump was right

Trump unclear about Sweden, but did he have a valid point?
Two leading Swedish politicians have a message for President Trump’s critics: He’s right.
Per Jimmie Akesson and Mattias Karlsson, both leaders of the Sweden Democrats, penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Wednesday supporting Trump’s characterization of a Muslim immigrant-led crime crisis in Sweden.
“Mr. Trump did not exaggerate Sweden’s current problems,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote. “If anything, he understated them.”

Trump was ridiculed by many after he gave a speech Saturday citing Sweden among a list of European countries affected by the scourge of Islamic terror. Referring to the massive number of Middle Eastern refugees that have poured into the country, Trump said Sweden was “having problems like they never thought possible.” Some Swedish politicians openly derided Trump’s portrayal of the country – but riots in a heavily immigrant suburb of Stockholm on Monday evening put an end to most of the mockery.
Swedish police were investigating a riot that broke out overnight in a predominantly immigrant suburb in Stockholm after officers arrested a suspect on drug charges.
“Riots and social unrest have become a part of everyday life,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote. “Police officers, firefighters and ambulance personnel are regularly attacked. Serious riots in 2013, involving many suburbs with large immigrant populations, lasted for almost a week. Gang violence is booming. Despite very strict firearms laws, gun violence is five times as common in Sweden, in total, as in the capital cities of our three Nordic neighbors combined.”
They added: “Anti-Semitism has risen. Jews in Malmo are threatened, harassed and assaulted in the streets. Many have left the city, becoming internal refugees in their country of birth.”
The Sweden Democrats duo ended the op-ed with a warning for the United States.
“For the sake of the American people,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote, “with whom we share so many strong historical and cultural ties, we can only hope that the leaders in Washington won’t make the same mistakes that our socialist and liberal politicians did.
Seems to me that there is some truth to the migrant refugee problem in Sweden. But then I knew long ago what was happening in Malmo, Sweden.
I posted an article on this as well. Facts are that Sweden has HUGE problems with migrants after looking more on youtube I was shocked.
Not much fact checking from the liberal media, just Trump bashing. It makes them appear even more incompetent.
The mainstream media refuses to publish the real news about what is happening in Europe. It's necessary to read the Jihad Watch or Pamela Geller sites to see what is really happening. A person could criticize the bias on those sites, BUT NOT THE FACTS OF THE TERRORISM.
We knew what Trump was talking about despite the liberal medias spin. They keep digging themselves in deeper with their Trump hate but the truth is there for all to see.
Oh look, there it goes! Your last shred of credibility.
Just in case there was any confusion over what I was trying to showcase:
"We knew what Trump was talking about ..."
I'm sorry, but this illustrates the basic mentality of the Trump contingent, to a tee. You're so sold on his hateful idiology, that even his own precisely worded falsehoods are dismissible. What he expressly said is 100% false. Apparently this tactic is only acceptable when it aligns with one's Libertarian narrative.
@ John: You can continue to criticize Trump all you want, but it does not change the terrorism facts on the ground in Sweden. The Swedes are in total denial, but the truth is in the facts. Facts don't lie.
"Facts don't lie."
But the liberal media does.
The liberal media lies all the time. It's what they do.
JOURNALIST JUST LIKE THEY ARE HERE!!!!!!!
The first videio is normal. The second one is so Buzz can see it.
Somali reporter: Swedish journalists are more dangerous than al-Shabab
This short story (the tip of the iceberg) is a great example of the media climate in Sweden and the lack of proper Journalism. An extremely dangerous one sided view is constantly presented by the government subsidized media.

The Swedes are in total denial. God help them.
Thank you Six for your consideration. Just curious - are others not able to watch the one you post for me? It works perfectly for me, and if it works that well for others, why the double posting?
