So as President Donald Trump has already figured out, there were a few things that happened in Sweden on Friday.

There was the car chase of a drunk driver, a major road closure, and a technical problem in the rehearsal of the country's annual singing competition "Melodifestivalen." But terror related? Certainly not.

Speaking at a rally in Melbourne, Florida, on Saturday, Trump alluded to a terrorism incident in Sweden as part of his argument for implementing his immigration ban. He ticked off a list of places affected by terrorism, taking aim at Europe's immigration policies.

"You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this," Trump said.

But Trump conceded what his statement was in reference to what he saw on Fox News. It was possibly a segment on a documentary about immigration and crime in Sweden, which aired on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on the channel Friday.

Trump's high consumption of television is something that's been noted by the media, so much so that aides are trying to get him to watch less.

Responding to Trump's tweet, Sweden's embassy in the U.S. is very, very eager to help educate his government on how it deals with immigrants.

Ouch. And there's sure plenty of people looking forward to the lesson too.

Just surreal.
