So "what's happening last night in Sweden" does not refer to a specific incident.

CNN reports that the White House deputy press secretary
says that Trump was referring to rising crime in Sweden
in general, not a specific incident.

Rising crime last night in Sweden. Yeah, that's the ticket!

UPDATE: The story just changed. He says he was referring to a Faux Noise report.

and the ensuing islamophobic propaganda that he made. Trump saw it on faux, and ran with it as if it were truth and a real event(s).

This is such a dumb response - as it is easily refutable by Sweden. Dude (film maker?) claims areas of Sweden are run under Sharia (they are not), and that there are "no go" regions throughout Sweden (there are none.)

Think project Veritas. Trump is so gullible and dumb.
