President Trump is pointing to a report on Fox News to explain a remark possibly suggesting there was a terror attack in Sweden.  On Twitter, Trump explained that the Fox News story addressed concerns about immigrants going into Sweden.  At a rally in Florida Saturday, Trump said Sweden is “having problems like they never thought possible” because they’ve taken in refugees.  He then suggested there had been some sort of incident in the country last week.  The comment left Swedes scratching their heads.  Among the many tweets coming out of the country over the comment was one from a former Swedish prime minister who asked “Sweden? Terror attack? What has be been smoking?”
