President Trump’s mysterious reference to a frightening security episode in Sweden prompted a deluge of online ridicule — and an official request for an explanation Sunday from a Nordic country that prides itself on tranquility.

Swedish authorities reported no terror-related incident or other episode involving large-scale violence.

The Twitter hashtags #lastnightinsweden and #swedenincident blew up online, yielding posts including an image of a cozy farmhouse set in an idyllic-looking snowscape, an array of riffs on complicated IKEA furniture-assembly instructions and an assortment of tweets pretending to darkly implicate Sweden’s perhaps best-known export, the ’70s pop sensation ABBA.

At a Saturday campaign-style rally in Florida just four weeks into his presidency, President Trump made an odd statement in reference to countries that accepted Syrian refugees.

"We've got to keep our country safe," Trump told the crowd. "You look at what's happening in Germany. You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden! Who would believe this?"

There wasn't much happening in Sweden, though. The statement recalled advisor Kellyanne Conway's reference to a nonexistent "Bowling Green massacre." And on Twitter, Ikea jokes ensued.

The next day, deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump was referring to a report he had seen the night before. "He was talking about rising crime and recent incidents in general," she said, "and not referring to a specific incident."

Speculation had already begun that Trump was referring to a segment that ran on Fox News the night before. Then the president confirmed that.

At the rally in Florida, Trump continues his attack on the media, declaring before thousands of cheering supporters that “fake news” is undermining his nascent administration’s accomplishments.

Though the administration has faced setbacks, including the resignation of Trump’s national security advisor amid a deepening controversy over Russian interference in U.S. government, approval ratings that are historically low for a new president and the courts’ stalling of the temporary ban on travel to the U.S. from seven majority-Muslim nations, Trump paints a far different picture.

He says the White House is running “so smoothly” and that “a great spirit of optimism” is sweeping the country, citing recent stock market highs as his chief evidence.

Trump describes the rally, which will be paid for by his campaign committee, much the same way he approached his campaign events, as sold-out affairs that prove his popularity.

The return to theatrics seems destined not only to thrill his fans, but also to offer political benefit.

For both Trump and the audience, it will be visible evidence of the 46% of voters who backed the Republican for president — a number that may have dropped a bit since November but remains large and fervent.

For his opponents, it will be a reminder of his ability to harness passion in his supporters.

The downside to jumping back into campaign mode? It can substitute one kind of bubble with another — one that reinforces Trump’s instinct to play to his supporters and exclude the majority of Americans.

This comes a day after Navy Vice Adm. Robert Harward turned down an offer to be Trump's national security advisor, reportedly citing financial and family commitments.

He would have replaced retired Gen. Michael Flynn, who resigned at Trump's request after it came to light that he misled Vice President Mike Pence about discussions he held with a Russian diplomat.

Retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, who served as an advisor for Trump’s campaign, is currently acting national security advisor.

White House officials have said that both he and retired Gen. David H. Petraeus are being considered to replace Flynn.

At the news conference, Trump countered that all of his early setbacks were the fault of others, the product of “fake news” reporting or both. He called the news media, in general, “fake” about 20 times during the course of the 90-minute presser.

He also repeatedly denounced the leakers in the government who have fueled news stories about the departure of Flynn and possible contacts between members of Trump’s campaign team and Russia. But he maintained that the stories themselves were “fake news.”

“The leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake,” Trump said at one point.

During the visit, Trump praises the contributions of American workers and pledges to lead a resurgence of manufacturing across the country.

Adopting an optimistic tone, he ticks off his recipe for expanding manufacturing: penalties for those taking jobs out of the country, fewer regulations, lower taxes on businesses and a fight against what he calls “extreme cheating” by other countries.

The week before, Price was confirmed as Health and Human Services secretary, overcoming bitter opposition from Democrats who had criticized the Georgia congressman’s calls to repeal the Affordable Care Act and scale back Medicare, Medicaid and other government safety net programs.

He’s expected to assume a leading role in helping guide the Republican effort to roll back the healthcare law, often called Obamacare, and to develop an alternative.

Its repeal has been repeatedly delayed because GOP lawmakers, despite years of pledging to replace the law, have been scrambling to settle on a strategy and overcome divisions within the party.

At the time of Trump’s tweet, neither he nor senior GOP lawmakers had produced legislation to either repeal the current law or replace it.

House Republicans did release a policy brief the day before that broadly outlined plans for repealing and replacing the law.

But it left many key questions unanswered, including how much the proposals would cost and whether they would preserve the health protections that millions of Americans have gained under the current law.

This comes as a new report reveals that the nation’s uninsured rate was the lowest on record the year before. In the first nine months of 2016, just 8.8% of Americans lacked health coverage, down from 16% in 2010, when President Obama signed the healthcare law, survey data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show.

Trump’s comments come a day after he decried a New York Times report revealing that his aides had contacts with Russian intelligence officials before the election, then blamed leaks and the media’s handling of them for the resignation of national security advisor Michael Flynn.

Hours after tweeting, Trump continues in the same vein at his first solo news conference since becoming president. He repeatedly denounces the leakers in the government who have fueled the stories about Flynn and Russia, but he maintains that the stories themselves are “fake news.”

He also talks frequently about Hillary Clinton, insisting she would have dealt more poorly with Russia and bringing up old claims that she had cheated in one of the debates with her primary opponent. He mentions her name 12 times in total.

Trump targets a New York Times report suggesting that his aides had contacts with Russian intelligence officials in the year leading up to the election.

He echoes the sentiments in a news conference later in the day, alternately claiming that the media traffics in “fake news” and that intelligence and law enforcement officials are leaking factual information to them.

Those remarks come as Trump’s first public comments since he accepted the resignation of national security advisor Michael Flynn late Monday. Flynn was dismissed in the face of mounting scrutiny over his conflicting accounts of contacts with a Russian diplomat and his admission that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about the matter.

During the news conference, Trump complains that Flynn was “treated very, very unfairly by the media” but says nothing about Flynn’s potentially illegal conduct or his own role in Flynn’s ouster.

During the appearances, White House senior policy advisor Stephen Miller deepened doubts about the future of the Trump administration’s national security advisor and again suggested that massive vote fraud occurred in November’s election without citing evidence.

On NBC's "Meet the Press," Miller declined to say if the president still has confidence in national security advisor Michael Flynn.

Flynn's future with the administration is at issue because of indications that he may have misled his colleagues, including Vice President Mike Pence, about his contacts with the Russian ambassador during the weeks before Trump's inauguration.

Miller's silence on Flynn was significant because the White House had booked him on several of the major Sunday television interview programs as the administration's spokesperson this weekend. They appear to have done so in part to avoid having to give a definitive answer about Flynn.

A day later, Flynn resigns.

In an interview that aired on ABC’s “This Week,” Miller said that “the noncitizen voting issue is pervasive and widespread.”

Trump has said that he lost the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton only because 3 million to 5 million illegal immigrants had cast votes for her.

That claim of massive illegal voting has been denied by Republican officials in key states, such as Ohio, and by independent observers. Administration officials have never offered any evidence for it.

Trump’s comment comes in the wake of sweeping raids by U.S. immigration officials that nabbed hundreds of individuals believed to be in the country illegally.

Federal officials described the sweeps as “targeted enforcement operations” focused on detaining people with criminal backgrounds in cities across the country.

Nearly 200 people throughout Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina were arrested, according to an initial tally provided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Atlanta field office. In the Los Angeles area, more than 150 arrests were made in a weeklong operation, officials said.

The situation highlighted fear among many immigrants about Trump’s vow to deport those in the United States illegally. But immigration officials in Los Angeles strongly resisted characterizing the actions as a “crackdown” and said they were planned before Trump took office.

A Reuters report published two days before had estimated that a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border would cost as much as $21.6 billion and take more than three years to build. Trump has in the past suggested that such a wall would cost up to $12 billion to build.

In the report, Reuters cites a U.S. Department of Homeland Security internal document that the outlet describes as “a final step before moving forward with requesting U.S. taxpayer funds from Congress and getting started on construction.”

Trump has criticized the costs of the F-35 fighter jet and Air Force One programs and credits himself with achieving reductions in both.

In December, he took aim at Boeing’s development of new Air Force One jets, tweeting that “costs are out of control, more than $4 billion” and suggesting the contract should be canceled. Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg then pledged to build the aircraft for less than $4 billion, though the company had previously noted that the project did not yet have a firm price tag.

Also in December, Trump tweeted that the “F-35 program and cost is out of control.” The stock price of Lockheed Martin, the project’s prime contractor, quickly dropped. Trump later touted a $600-million cost reduction in the program, but the amount appears to be similar to a price cut that the Department of Defense had already anticipated.

President Trump accuses Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) of misrepresenting comments made by Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court.

Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, had told reporters the day before that Gorsuch was “disheartened by the demoralizing and abhorrent comments made by President Trump about the judiciary.” He was referring to Trump’s tweets attacking a federal judge who had issued a restraining order suspending Trump’s travel ban.

In response, Trump takes aim at Blumenthal's credibility, bringing up a 7-year-old controversy over his military service.

During Blumenthal's campaign for Senate in 2010, he was criticized for claiming in speeches that he had served in Vietnam. Blumenthal had been in the Marine Corps Reserve and was not posted overseas. He later said he had misspoken about his record a few times out of the hundreds of speeches he has given in his political career.

Trump himself was disqualified from service during the Vietnam War in 1968 after a physical exam. Trump told the New York Times he received a medical deferment because of bone spurs in his heels.

Trump responds to controversy stemming from comments he made about Russian President Vladimir Putin during a pre-taped interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly that aired on Super Bowl Sunday.

When O’Reilly observed during the interview that Putin is “a killer,” Trump retorted: “You think our country is so innocent?”

Some congressional Republicans sought to distance themselves from Trump’s apparent comparison — or attack it outright — while Democrats were harsher in their response.

Trump has in the past made similar remarks about Putin’s reputation for violent retribution against perceived political enemies. This was the first time since taking office, though, that he used such language in defending Putin.

In the tweet, Trump compares his comments to a deal negotiated under the Obama administration that curbed Iran's ability to build or acquire nuclear weapons for at least a decade in exchange for an easing of sanctions on its trade, finances and oil industry.

Trump has signaled that his administration will take a tougher stance on Iran than its predecessor. He has variously promised to dismantle or revise the nuclear deal, despite warnings from intelligence officials.

Trump continues his attack on U.S. District Court Judge James Robart, who had issued a temporary restraining order suspending the enforcement of Trump’s executive order barring visa applicants from seven countries.

The president again uses the word “ban,” four days after the White House insists the term “misrepresents” Trump’s executive order and demands that reporters stop using it.

Trump targets U.S. District Court Judge James Robart, who hours before had issued a temporary restraining order suspending the enforcement of Trump’s executive order barring visa applicants from seven countries.

Robart’s ruling, effective nationwide, comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the states of Washington and Minnesota. The suit argues that the executive order amounts to religious discrimination against Muslims in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

The White House says it will appeal Robart’s order, and also seeks an emergency stay against it. In the meantime, the Department of Homeland Security suspends “any and all actions” related to the travel ban.

Trump’s tweets, particularly his use of the term “so-called judge,” spark a barrage of responses.

Far from a liberal reformer, Robart was appointed by George W. Bush and is known for his conservative legal views. Friends say he’s unlikely to be swayed by Trump’s comments.

Trump has suggested slapping new tariffs on Chinese and Mexican goods. He’s also appeared to be considering a proposal by House Republicans for a border adjustment tax, under which exports from the United States would be tax-exempt, but imports would be taxed at the border.

Some economists say that imposing tariffs on imports broadly would raise prices for American consumers and cause significant problems for global production systems, eventually slowing corporate sales, investments and hiring.

Trump might be referring to violent protesters who shut down a speech that Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to give at UC Berkeley two days before. School officials blamed the violence on “black block agitators,” self-described anarchists or antifascists who attach themselves to peaceful protests but are intent on causing damage, though there’s no evidence to suggest they are paid for their time.

Trump’s tweet also comes as protests against his travel ban continue throughout the country. Those are largely peaceful and incident-free.

It’s not the first time Trump has blamed “professional” or “paid” protesters for demonstrations against his presidency. He made similar claims in response to a near-riot that prompted the cancellation of a rally along his campaign trail, as well as demonstrations that erupted nationwide after his election. The theory that powerful leftists were conspiring to disrupt Trump’s inauguration by hiring professional agitators was also advanced by some conservative outlets, including Breitbart News, in the days leading up to the ceremony.

Later in the day, the Trump administration imposes economic sanctions on Iran as punishment for the country’s ballistic missile test and its support for militant groups in regional conflicts.

The penalties, which target 25 Iranian companies and individuals, appear calibrated to increase pressure on Iran without jeopardizing the landmark nuclear deal negotiated under the Obama administration, or creating a new international crisis.

After Trump’s election, Obama had warned of imposing new U.S. sanctions on Iran while it remains in compliance with the deal, saying that doing so would open a rift with the other major signatories — Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia.

The president has variously promised to dismantle or revise the 2015 deal, which curbed Iran's ability to build or acquire nuclear weapons for at least a decade in exchange for an easing of sanctions on its trade, finances and oil industry.

While the U.S. did not give Iran $150 billion under the agreement, Iran did receive access to an estimated $100 to $150 billion of its own money that had been frozen in international accounts.

In November, then-CIA Director John Brennan issued a rare public warning against scrapping the deal, saying that doing so would be “disastrous.”

Trump responds to outrage over his executive order banning refugees and immigrants from certain countries after reports that it came as a surprise even to the agencies tasked with implementing it, causing chaos at airports across the country. He instead blames the havoc on protests against the order.

The statistics Trump cites represent only the number of people who arrived in the U.S. from other countries and were prevented from entering in the first 24 hours after the order went into effect. (An additional 173 travelers were stopped from boarding flights to the U.S. within the same time period, a Homeland Security official said in a statement.)

The total number of people detained after the first 24 hours is unclear, as federal officials initially refused requests to provide official statistics. A week later, the State Department estimates that 60,000 visas were canceled as a result of the order. In addition, calculations by the Los Angeles Times have found that up to 8 million people in the U.S. illegally could be considered priorities for deportation under the order.

Notably, Trump uses the word “ban.” The next day, the White House adamantly insists that the term is verboten. “This is not a ban,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer tells reporters in a fiery news briefing. “When we use words like ‘travel ban,’” he says later, “that misrepresents what it is.”

Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

His tweets echo his inaugural address, which he uses to craft the same vision of a devastated, decayed America that he presented when he accepted his nomination. He emphasizes a country under siege from problems that he vows to swiftly solve. Some analysts note that the address appears to speak chiefly to the 46% of Americans who voted for Trump, rather than attempting to unite the country as a whole.

Trump continues to use the phrase “America First,” which has an anti-Semitic and isolationist history going back to the years before the U.S. entry into World War II, when a broad-based coalition of politicians and business leaders came together to oppose U.S. involvement in the war in a movement marred by anti-Semitic and pro-fascist rhetoric.
