Swedes Figure Out What Exactly Happened Last Night

President Donald Trump has everyone — Swedes most of all — wondering what happened last Friday night in Sweden. While seeking to bolster support for his controversial national security policies at a rally in Florida on Saturday, President Trump cited an unspecified event he claimed occurred Friday in Sweden as proof America needed to do more to keep itself safe. If you're still at a loss for what happened, you're not alone. Swedes haven't been able to figure out what Trump was referring to, either. Unsure of what the U.S. president was talking about, Swedes have responded to Trump's baffling claim in the best way possible — with sarcasm.

"Here's the bottom line, we've got to keep our country safe," Trump told supporters in Melbourne, Florida, on Saturday. "You look at what's happening. We've got to keep our country safe. You look at what's happening in Germany. You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden! Who would believe this? Sweden! They took in large numbers, they're having problems like they never thought possible."

The problem was, nothing of note appeared to have happened in Sweden on Friday night. Swedish Security Police spokesman Karl Melin told the Associated Press "nothing has occurred which would cause us to raise [the terror threat] level." Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Catarina Axelsson said the Swedish government was not aware of any "terror-linked major incidents." In hopes of shedding a bit of light on the situation, the Swedish Embassy in Washington reached out to the State Department for clarification of the Trump's remarks.

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published, in English, a tongue-in-cheek list of events Trump may have been referencing when he warned Americans to "look at what's happening last night in Sweden." The list includes worrisome incidents like technical problems at a concert, harsh weather, a fatal workplace injury, and a car chase.

Meanwhile, Swedes — and other savvy Twitter users — have offered their take on what happened last night in Sweden:
