This has already been acknowledged. There are apparently several incidents to choose from related to Muslim migrant issues. None of them "terror attacks," nor did he state there was a "terror attack." I agree what he was referring to isn't clear at all, leaving it open to SPECULATION as to what he meant. That doesn't mean the SPECUALTION that he was referring to a "terror attack" that didn't happen is correct, but yet, that's what the media is strongly pushing. Strange.
Are you still accusing me of claiming that he was talking about a "terror attack"?
If you want me to be absolutely honest, I think his words clearly point to him thinking that something big happened in Sweden the night before. Maybe he was discussing general Swedish issues "last night" in preparation for his speech, and that was what he was trying to say, but didn't make it clear. Maybe. But, the words that came out of his mouth suggest that a specific incident occurred in Sweden last night.
He followed up his "Sweden last night" comment with the following...
“Sweden,” he said. “They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible. You look at what’s happening in Brussels. You look at what’s happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice. Take a look at Paris. "
When you lump them in with Brussels, Nice and Paris, it sure sounds like he thinks something happened last night in Sweden that is as significant as the incidents that have happened in those 3 places.
I don't see this as a situation where the liberal media is creating something out of nothing.
But, my overall point is that we should have to play "maybe he meant" after every speech he gives.
Here is another recent example....
President Trump Was Asked About Anti-Semitism. He Responded by Talking About His Win
Ryan Teague Beckwith
Feb 15, 2017
reference on Wednesday was perhaps the most unexpected.
The scene: A joint press conference with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. An Israeli reporter asked a straightforward question about "a sharp rise in anti-Semitic incidents across the United States" since his election.
Here's how Trump responded:
Well, I just want to say that we are, you know, very honored by the victory that we had -- 316 electoral college votes. We were not supposed to crack 220. You know that, right? There was no way to 221, but then they said there's no way to 270. And there's tremendous enthusiasm out there.
I will say that we are going to have peace in this country. We are going to stop crime in this country. We are going to do everything within our power to stop long simmering racism and every other thing that's going on. There's a lot of bad things that have been taking place over a long period of time.
I think one of the reasons I won the election is we have a very, very divided nation, very divided. And hopefully, I'll be able to do something about that. And I, you know, it was something that was very important to me.
As far as people, Jewish people, so many friends; a daughter who happens to be here right now; a son-in-law, and three beautiful grandchildren. I think that you're going to see a lot different United States of America over the next three, four or eight years. I think a lot of good things are happening.
And you're going to see a lot of love. You're going to see a lot of love.
OK? Thank you.

Basically, his answer to "What do you think about the recent rise in Anti-Semitism in the US?" was "I kicked ass in the election and I have a lot of Jews in my family".
Now, I am going to give him some slack, because he probably wasn't expecting that question and didn't have time to prepare. But, how about a vanilla answer like, "I think it is a terrible thing and we will do everything in our power to put a stop to it". We are not talking about rocket science here.
The Sweden thing is more baffling to me because he had time to prepare and to decide what he wanted to talk about and what points he wanted to make.
