Donald Trump being fact-checked by... me???? Twitter-storm and media-storm in Sweden...

I... don't even know where to start this post. o.O

Let's see... I took over the @sweden Monday 13th. Was a lot of active users following it, around 104'000. So there was a lot of questions and comments being thrown at me. But not more than I could keep up with. The nasty ones I just ignored ( Read more... )

Wow. I remember you posting about the Twitter, and then I saw the shitstorm, of course, but I did not put those two together.

Excellent work!

And yeah, we really do apologize for him....

To be honest, that was the saddest thing about the whole thing. All the americans apologizing for their president. There were SO MANY mentions with that being thrown at that account. I don't know if that is still the case, but for as long as I had it, that was what struck me.

I think Max, who runs it now, is a very learned young man. And he has friends working with statistics here in Sweden, so he can throw cold hard updated facts at people. Which is really just perfect.

"My experience from over here with Trump is that he doesn't appear to live in the real world."

This is perfect. I like that you were fact-checking him. (You know you're on a list now. It was nice knowing you. lol)

That Stephen Colbert clip made me lol.

Ha ha ha! :-D Since the swedish government thanked me, I would hope I have a little protection there. ;-)

I didn't even think about the fact I fact-checked Trump. I just wanted to reassure the followers of the account, you know?

I honestly have no words. I'm completely and utterly gobsmacked.

I did not vote for him.

Bless you.

The amounts of face-palms I did the night between friday and saturday (my time) was numerous, let me tell you. I even did a face-palm selfie that later got spread around among news-papers, funny enough, since I took at nearly 4am in the morning. X-D

Oh, and the amount of americans apologizing for him was... numerous. So so many... And it made me feel sad, to be honest.

I'm sorry I missed you on the news! I did, however, see both the current and former prime ministers of Sweden on Canadian television. Their reaction was basically, "What the fuck is he talking about??"

You are truly doing god's work.

kseenaa February 23 2017, 23:11:30 UTC

Yeah, that was my reaction to. I loved what Carl Bildt, one of the former prime ministers, tweeted. "What has he been smoking?" Dude, I was asking the same thing. Just saying.

As my daughter would say, bless.

I saw that Colbert clip that night! Lol checked out the Mashable and BBC that day too. He really is in a world of his own, ugh.

kseenaa February 23 2017, 23:19:01 UTC

Thank you! :-D You got a wise daughter. ;-)

Yeah, he pretty much nailed it, didn't he? :-) I rather like him.

Trump is an idiot with some sort of mental disorder, to be honest.
