“the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden”?
Does he play the psalmodicon?

Young PM of Sweden. I love seeing people with fetal alcohol syndrome succeed in life.

Sweden is racist because it’s not caving in to American celebrities? Video showed this ASAP monster beating a guy while he’s down. I hate his entitlement.

Fuck Kartrashian and Kanye, thinking Drumpf should interfere with the legal process of another country, and then to thank him for 'justice reform'? Is she so retarded that she doesn't realize Drumpf can do jack-shit to reform anything in Sweden? She knows there's a difference between what she said and preferential treatment, right?

Fuck Kanye and Kim and their celebrity express politicking. Take it up with your congressman like the rest of us (who I am guessing would be Ted Lieu, who will give zero fucks).

I teach history and political science. How the hell do I deal with Trump? It has been bad in the past but I got by. Now I just don't know what the fuck to do.

He already has Kanye's endorsement.
This feels so pander-y. "support from the African American community" (which I desperately want to gain).

Nixon had Elvis. As his 'war on drugs' advisor. Of course, while on drugs.

He could arrange Rocky to serve out the rest of his sentence in the US, though when you compare American and Swedish prisons... that might not be something Rocky would even want.
Presidents can pardon federal criminal convictions, but they can't pardon those made abroad, right? So he couldn't transfer him here and then pardon him.

You Americans have a very erroneous impression of how the world works and the role and degree that American coercion has in shaping reality.
The US has already made Sweden lodge complaints against Assange for reasons that have nothing to do with the allegations made against him. The US can easily force Sweden to release an American citizen who's in a difficult legal situation, especially from something relatively small - a street brawl or whatever it is that this man has been jailed for. Few countries have the strength to knock heads against the US, and even fewer countries have the political readiness to do so. And none of these countries are in the EU. The EU are full-on doormats when it comes to contradicting America, and the smaller countries, such as Sweden, are even more so.
I imagine there will be some resistance on the part of Sweden, only because it is in interest of the Swedes to avoid the impression that they're a mere client state of the US. It all depends on Trump; he's crazy, and I don't doubt that it bully Sweden around until he gets what he wants. He's already taken this issue to the public, so now he has face to save.

Not really. Also, they could try but they're not going to. Trump can say whatever the fuck he wants, but the State Department is not going to squander its diplomatic goodwill on someone like Rocky who got jailed for a street brawl. Sorry but that's just not happening.

Swedish prisons are full of Arab and Somali men...A$AP might prefer being amongst his own kind in a US prison.

ASAP Rocky is not Julian Assange, a situation that had implications for many other countries. No doubt Sweden was under a lot of pressure then from a lot of places.

[quote]"Treat American citizens fairly & with respect"
He's going to be treated like everyone else, you dumb fucks. He's not the only black person currently in Sweden, you do know that? Because people suddenly seem to think Sweden is the most racist country on the planet for some reason.

If it were Russia, don’t you think he would invoke the Non-Interference Doctrine and say that he trusted Puty-Poot to do the right thing?

At least he won't get killed by the Swedish police. Try avoiding that on an American road.

[bold]Trump: Sweden has 'let our African American community down' in A$AP Rocky case[/bold]
[quote]"Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for being unable to act. Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States," Trump tweeted Thursday afternoon. "I watched the tapes of A$AP Rocky, and he was being followed and harassed by troublemakers. Treat Americans fairly!"
[quote]He later added, "Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM. We do so much for Sweden but it doesn't seem to work the other way around. Sweden should focus on its real crime problem!"
[quote]He concluded both tweets with the hashtag #FreeRocky.
I can't believe this is real life.

This is the authoritarian justice system in action. It's all about personal appeals to the Dear Leader and never about actual laws.
Also fake giving a shit about non-whites, but that's just par for the Trumpian course.
