Trump Admits His Rally Statements On Sweden Were Lifted From a Fox News Segment

It seems that President Trump just confessed that his rally remarks about “what’s happening in Sweden” came from Fox News.

Ever since his event in Melbourne, Florida, Trump raised eyebrows when he seemed to reference a terror attack in Sweden that no one, not even the Swedish government, knew what he was talking about. The running theory was that Trump’s remarks were in reference to a Friday night segment on Fox News where Tucker Carlson talked about Sweden and its immigration policy.

As it turns out, Trump has now said that’s exactly what he based his remarks on:

My statement as to what’s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.
