Why? Well, the Commander in Chief was revealed to have based that incomplete fact on an excerpt of a FOX News broadcast, which actually had zero direct link to any acts of terrorism. Legitimately.
My statement as to what’s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.

That wasn’t enough to stem the onslaught of online ownage, though. Pretty quickly after the fact, the actual embassy came out with this lil’ piece of diplomatic shade:
We look forward to informing the US administration about Swedish immigration and integration policies. https://t.co/x5G3euOWRh

My statement about Hawaii being attacked by a smoke monster was in reference to a rerun of LOST broadcast last night https://t.co/CxMEXuVtN0

Maybe we’re being too hard on Trump. In one month he’s had to deal with Bowling Green, Atlanta, AND Sweden. Poor guy needs a weekend off.

Trump: I’m sorry for your loss. We stand with Sweden at this difficult time.
Norwegian Ambassador: I’m from Oslo.
Trump: Today, we all are.— hrtbps (@hrtbps) February 19, 2017
In truth, you need to find some kind of humour in these only semi-concerning goofs, ’cause it’s just matter of time before he says something equally dumb that creates an actual diplomatic crisis.
