So Trump says: Look at how much of a violent place Sweden is, It's aweful.

Supporters say: Well, if you look at these specific cases yes, our lord and master is 100% correct.

But guys. the US has approx. 10x the gun deaths and around 17x the gun muder rate that Sweden has. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate)

Some people really need to stop kidding themselves about which is "The more violent country"

But I'm Canadian, and according to those people, I probably need to mind my own business.

I agree that it's a bit funny for the president of the most violent nation in the western world, which also has the largest number of prisoners per capita, to attack a Scandinavian country with only a fraction of the issues, all in all. He's calling the kettle black, when in fact it isn't even a little bit gray in comparison.
