Funny how the media loves to misquote Trump … and they wonder why they’re such a joke.
And we don’t mean funny “ha ha,” we mean funny “wow that’s super pathetic.”
For some reason, journalists are claiming that Trump referred to a nonexistent terrorist attack in Sweden. Let's go to the transcript: pic.twitter.com/w6wAxEsuus

When you look at the transcript it’s hard to figure out how the media came up with the idea that Trump said there was a terror attack. Sure, it’s rambling word salad but nowhere does Trump refer to a specific incident.
Who’da thunk it?

But still …
Right. People are saying he referred to a terrorist attack, but that's their spin. He didn't actually say that.

He didn’t actually say it. The media made a convenient assumption to use as another attack on the president. Silly media, didn’t you know that when you assume you make an ass out of you … and you?
Spin away.
Sure, but I'm also not gonna knock him for referring to a terrorist attack since he didn't explicitly refer to a terrorist attack.

Bingo. If you want to call the president out at least make sure you’re calling him out for something LEGITIMATE. Otherwise it just turns into more noise, or in this case more reason to ignore and mock the media.
I don't know what he was referring to. What I do know is that he didn't say "terrorist attack."

Fascinating how desperate people are to read more into the transcript than what was actually said.

Could have been this … we don’t know, and neither does the media. But that didn’t keep them from jumping all over this in an attempt to ridicule Trump.
Trump's wording was weird, but you'd think CNN would be more careful than "Trump Claims Sweden Recently Attacked," esp w/ "fake news" charge pic.twitter.com/H1vMrbCfjL

We rightly criticize DJT for lies; but if we ourselves start to lie as we do so, we're no better. @gabrielmalor @brithume
