In Donald Trump, European elites see a threat that rivals Vladimir Putin.

By SUSAN B. GLASSER     May 01, 2017

BERLIN—Early one February weekend, President Donald Trump let loose a cryptic complaint, followed by a barrage of Fox News-inspired tweets, about Sweden of all places. He made the Nordic country, home of gleaming lakes, cheap modernist furniture and one of the world’s highest standards of living, seem like a dystopian hellhole overrun with rampaging refugees.

Sweden was not amused.

“They thought the man had gone bananas,” says Carl Bildt, Sweden’s former prime minister and foreign minister, in a new interview for The Global POLITICO, our weekly podcast on world affairs. “It was a somewhat unsettling thing to see the president of the United States without any factual basis whatsoever lunge out against a small country in the way that he did.”

Bildt, an avid tweeter himself, trolled Trump right back, but the incident confirmed Swedes’ worst fears about America’s new leader. And Sweden is not alone: Three months into his presidency, the rest of Europe too is still deeply unsettled over this new president unlike any other, confused about whether he’s a dangerous ideologue or merely dangerously ignorant—and desperately seeking ways to stop him from pursuing the foreign policy of Russia-reconciling and European Union-bashing he promised on the campaign trail.....

What a freakin embarrassment this narcissistic psychopath is.

Andrew Brown of the Guardian put it, Sweden looms large in the “fantasies of the outside world.” It is a socialist utopia, a sexually liberated Busch Gardens, or a Mad Max hell-scape, depending on your agenda.

Oh my gosh Homer! Trump was having sleepless nights worrying about what you thought of him. Now throw worrying about Sweden in there, and he probably will not be able to sleep the rest of his life now.
