President Trump made a remark about Sweden at Sundays campaign-style rally in Florida.

Trump said, Weve got to keep our country safe. You look at whats happening in Germany, you look at whats happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this?

Liberal outlets immediately seized on the comment to express indignation and mockery. Trump was seemingly discussing terrorism when he brought up Sweden. But Sweden hasnt had a terrorist attack recently.

Vox ran an article titled, Trumps invention of a Swedish terrorist attack was funny. But it likely comes from a dark place, that argued that Trumps mention of Swedens immigration policy was motivated by a long history of sexual panics in the West about non-white immigrants.

Washington Post wrote, The influx of refugees has not come without problems in Sweden, but mainstream politicians and immigration experts say the criticism has been disproportionate.

New York Times wrote, Last Night in Sweden? Trumps Remark Baffles a Nation.

Swedes joined in on the fun, too:

The Swedish government is alsoreportedly looking for an explanation from the U.S.

Its unknown how much crime is committed by immigrants in Sweden since the governmentrefuses to collect statistics on immigrant crime.

However, we do know that refugee gangs have also been a menace at Swedish festivals two years in a row.

Sexual assault has risen by 70 percent in two years, and more than 13 percent of women report being afraid to go out at night.

Other European countries with similar immigrant populations show evidence of a high incidence of immigrant crime. Despite making up 8 percent of Frances population, Muslims are estimated to make up more than 70 percent of the prison population.
