Yes, you are absolutely correct about this. In many cases, people who comment about this negatively simply inserted the "terrorism" subject into it. See this article for many examples: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/19/516097504/trump-says-look-whats-happening-in-sweden-sweden-asks-wait-what It's what I previously mentioned: A 'strawman': Simply invent something that your rhetorical opponent DIDN'T say, and 'disprove' it, to great applause by the clueless masses. >Fake News. CNN is the Counterfeit News Network. >I watched his rally, and when he mentioned Sweden I knew what incidents he was referring to. So did I, at least I remembered enough incidents about rape by Muslim immigrants in Sweden. If Trump had wanted to mean "terrorism", he is smart enough to have used the term. He didn't. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2709224/two-afghan-migrants-revealed-as-those-arrested-over-horrific-three-hour-rape-streamed-on-facebook-live-in-sweden/ × Jim Bell
