Trump specifically said, "you look at what's happening last night in Sweden" in the course of talking about other European countries which have suffered terrorist attacks, some associated with immigrants, sal.
Nothing happened in Sweden the night before and Sweden has had no deaths associated with terrorism aside from a suicide bomber who killed himself over 10 years ago. It was an ignorant and false claim, no matter how you slice it.
If the president had said, "I watched a Fox report last night stating that Sweden is having problems with immigrant crime", he might have faced some criticism about the source of his info, but it wouldn't have been a false and reckless claim. However, that's nothing like what he said and it's hard for me to believe that's what he really meant considering the context of his statement.
He's got information and expert resources at his command at all times to give him accurate intel about other countries, some of which would support his agenda, truthfully. I hope at some point he learns to rely on facts and truths instead of twisting something he saw on a FOX report to make a false point in support of his views. He will keep being called out for the bullshit, that's for sure.
