Trump knew
Trump's comment about refugees and crime in Sweden back in the spring of 2017 turned out to be spot on. At the time, Mainstream media did their best to ridicule the comment with BBC and NYT leading the charge. Even Swedish media and politicians joined in on the criticism of Trump (even though they already in 2017 should have been in a better position than Trump to see what was going on). Let's look at a few charts on how right Trump turned out to be. And yes, this matters for the US in general and for this upcoming election in particular. Border security is important. Speaking the truth about what is going on equally so.
What he actually said
"You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden — Sweden — who would believe this? Sweden, they took in large numbers, they are having problems like they never thought possible." (February 2017)
Gun crime death
Sweden’s gun crime death rate is now the second highest in Europe. Chart shows gun deaths per 100,000 citizens, by country in 2021. Numbers keep on going up in Sweden.
