The President of the U.S. stating something about an ally as fact in a highly inflammable manner based on a FOX report is irresponsible and asinine. I wish he'd stop it. But, he isn't prone to having his facts straight and owning his mistakes. It works for him with his devotees; they believe the lies, accept lame excuses and deflect and defend to the hilt. I want the president to succeed, but won't swallow blatant bullshit just because the president said it and I don't blame Sweden for striking back, especially given the much higher per-capita crime rate in the U.S.
In any case, Sweden has the same divided public view of immigration as the U.S. and the rest of Europe. There is crime in Sweden and crime by immigrants in poverty areas is higher than crime overall in Sweden. However, crime in Sweden is down from a decade ago, Sweden has always had a higher rape rate than the rest of Europe and some of it is due to how 'rape' is defined, Sweden has invoked stricter immigration laws and added crime enforcement resources over the last two years, etc...
