Feel free to peruse it. this was my FB response:
This whole Sweden thing just feeds into that narrative:

The man elected President can't even bother to get a story right from a station he solely watches.
Trump sees a story on FOX (not news) and misinterprets it (Nuance and facts are for the losers) and makes an ass out of himself (his supporters don't care/understand).
Clearly this is the media's fault. (sarcasm).
The problem is that the media and the Democrats need to wake the hell up and realize that there is an opportunity here to win back people that they have lost. There are people that still feel like the left and the MSM are being too smug and arrogant about all of this. Trump's war against the media is succeeding with his base. They are buying it, lock, stock, and barrel.
A lot of lessons have yet to be learned from the rise of Trump.
