Remember this, from February 20?
You look at what’s happening. 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. Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers [of refugees from Muslim-majority countries]. They’re having problems like they never thought possible.
Yes, that was Donald Trump, lying through his teeth again. Swedes were baffled by these comments; there has been no trouble in Sweden with their Muslim immigrants.
But don’t worry about the lies, Donald. Vladimir’s got your back!
What this story needs to make it right is just a few of those famous paid protesters. And according to Danish radio station Radio24syv, a Russian television crew recently went to the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby and offered to pay Muslim residents there 400 Kroner each (about $57) for some riotous “action” in front of their cameras. (It is unclear from this report when this incident occurred.)
Naturally, these law-abiding citizens declined the offer, and Swedish police shooed the Russians away.
Nice try, Vladimir. You might want to check to see if Muslim immigrants really are the criminals you suppose them to be, before trying to incite a riot.
