“What Happened Last Night In Sweden” Affects US Policy
President Trump held a rally last weekend to garner support for his immigration policies and he told the crowd, “We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden.” People were confused by his imprecise reference to Sweden, and he was ridiculed on social media. He later tweeted that he was referring to a news report that he saw on Fox News that revealed Sweden’s migrant problems.
His warning was prophetic as rioters burnt cars and vandalized buildings in Rinkeby, a migrant area of Stockholm, the next day. Rinkeby has a history of riots in 2010 and 2013.
