The Denmark thing was pulled completely out of thin air to support political views of certain people, but that seems to be the modus operandi of certain groups lately. But let's focus on Sweden for a minute, as there seems to be more news on it.


When a WORLD LEADER™ says something, people tend to take it seriously. Say things about another country, and that country has no recourse but to take you seriously and at your word. Now, when you say something like Trump said, and then pull the Triumpian DoubleDown™, and you get this reaction from the relevant country itself, through diplomatic channels to your country:


No incident occurred in Sweden and the country's baffled government asked the U.S. State Department to explain.

You leave people scratching their heads. Like money, world leaders have their word to dish out RESPECT™ on the world stage. Lose your word with one too many MY WORD YOUR WORD statements (Kim Jong-Un-esque if you may) and you land in the literal international hot waters.
