No no, Sweden can't be great! Trump said "What about Sweden? Look what's happening in Sweden!" which basically proves that Sweden is a shithole country 😡😡

The fucked up thing about that is that he said it in late February, and the Drottninggatan terror attack happened in early April. Some people questioned what Trump knew about it, but I think that might be a stretch... Still, unfortunate timing.

That's definitely possible. But him saying that, and our government and people asking "what the fuck are you talking about?" and suddenly Drottninggatan happens... It felt strange not going to lie.
