And yet the swedish embassy asked the state department for clarification on what Trump meant. I guess they've been watching too much liberal media and/or are too dumb to figure out what is obvious for Trump supporters, right?

Yes, in fact the reason why almost none here in Sweden did understand it is because they're nearly all living in a bubble isolated from reality, and so affected by the absolutely surreal image of Trump that is portrayed in our media (I promise it's much more extreme than in the US. All the papers write about is Trump Trump Trump, "Trump's speech shows he is losing his grip", "Trump is mentally ill says expert", "This scandal will destroy Trump", "Trump's team is in chaos", "Trump will be kicked from office soon"). I've never seen a public figure get so much hate in Swedish media as Donald Trump. People are obsessed.
It's hard to explain, but it's a Swedish thing. It's a psychological thing that has to do with the self image Swedes have. Swedes assume everyone else thinks the same, that we're right on everything, the rest of the world is wrong. So if a Swede has a particular train of thought, that must be the right train of though. It's a collective illness. So they all went and assumed that Trump is so fucking stupid that he was referring to a non-event in Sweden the night before.
