Trump admits false 'last night in Sweden' claim was something he heard 'broadcast on Fox News'

Pres. Donald Trump admitted on Sunday that the terror attack he said happened in Sweden on Friday night was actually something he saw — but didn’t fully understand — on Fox News.

In a tweet, the president said he’d gotten confused by something he saw on an episode of Tucker Carlson’s new Fox News show, writing, “My statement as to what’s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.”

I heard they ran some report about government officials in Sweden covering up sexual assaults and murders by Muslim refugees. I haven't seen the report so no idea what the truth of any of it was, but that's what Trump is claiming he was referring to.

I'd like to know what the reality of this situation is because I've already seen some deplorables on line talking about this and saying "facts mean nothing to liberals". I'd like to have an answer for them.

in this case he found people from the anders breivik school of thought in Sweden and creates a propaganda piece that makes easily disputed claims. Areas in Sweden are ruled by Shariah! (no there are not) There are many "No Go" areas in Sweden! (no there are not.) Trump is a gullible moron.
