Trump Got His Intel From FAKE FOX NEWS: Swedish Policemen Interviewed In Film Says It Was Edited


.............

Two Swedish police officers were interviewed in the film. Anders Göranzon and Jacob Ekström answered questions about how weapons are becoming more accessible. Horowitz also asked the officers about how crime has spread through cities. But the police officers now say that their answers were taken out of context, and are very critical of how their comments were portrayed on Fox News ”Tucker Carlson Tonight”. ”I don’t understand why we are a part of the segment. The interview was about something completely different to what Fox News and Horowitz were talking about”, says Anders Göranzon.

...in the guise of a news organization. I understand Canada has such a law. I know the GOP would never go along with it, but the tide will turn, and such a law would help the slow the tide from flowing back to the hard right in the future.

12. Why doesn't President Trump trust his own intelligence agencies?

Isn't he as smart as Dick Cheney? When the Vice President traipsed down to Foggy Bottom to get intelligence that would bolster the Bush administration's claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, they told him there was no such evidence. Did that stop that blood-gargling psychopath? It did not. Cheney told them, "Wrong answer; try again." Biff Tannen couldn't have done it any better.

Maybe President Trump needs to watch the Back to the Future trilogy some more. I know his hero Biff doesn't come out on top in the end, but until then he's doing pretty good pushing people around and trying to rape Marty's mother.
