TRIGGERED! Can YOU Guess What Swedish Authorities Recently Considered TOO OFFENSIVE For A License Plate?

You know, the stereotype is that Germans don't have a sense of humor. Maybe that will change soon.

The reason I say that is because it turns out that Sweden has a problem with a certain vanity plate.

According to reports, an individual, Marcus Saaf, applied for a vanity plate spelling out TRUMP. This was deemed too offensive by the Swedish Transport Authority, which confirmed it denied the letter combination because it refers to politics. It implies that any other politically charged vanity plates will also be rejected.

In an interview, Saaf said that he was drunk and thought it would be fun to apply for that particularly vanity plate as it would go on an American vehicle.

Is this just SILLY or SOUND decision making on part of the Swedish Transport Authority?



Swedish authorities said a man was denied a vanity license plate with the letters TRUMP because it violated motor vehicle department rules, calling the letter combination "offensive."

The Aftonbladet tabloid, one of Sweden's largest newspapers, reported Saturday that the man said he "was drunk and thought it was fun to apply" online for a new license plate with President Donald Trump's last name "because the car is American..."

The President that was elected solely for the color of his skin but most certainly NOT for the content of his character.

Respect may be a question, but the world knows the U.S. is in a position where the President understands it has the upper hand and will leverage that for the best interests of the U.S. Unlike the past President who was weak and taken advantage of. The world does not want Trump in the position, because they know it means the U.S. wins.

That’s right Sweden, Let That BIG ORANGE BABOON Trump you want no parts of his antics.

Trump and Melslutia are a Disgrace to this country and that White House. tell her to go pose nude, steal speeches, and speak broken English in her own country.

Tell Donald to take his Bankruptcies, Porn star. baby mama antics with her since he’s too much of a COWARD to release his tax returns. Daddies not here to loan him anymore money so he’s desperate!

The Obamas have more intelligence in their pinky Toe than entire TRAMP Clan.

I did not reference Clinton. But now that you brought it up, he was a far better president and statesman. Let's review, a better economy than tRump, a balanced budget, actually a surplus and a two termer despite the antics of philandering Newt.

Yea, that may be fun in a juvenile, 9th grade environment, but not for the leader of anything larger than a corner grocery store.
And I'd tRump has leverage, what does he kiss Putin's ass? It seems to be the Russians have leverage on him.
Two former intelligence leaders were shocked when he criticized former US presidents on foreign soil and praised Putin. They are convinced he is acting as a Russian asset.
Obama did not kick Russia out of the G8, all remaining 7 did after he annexed Crimea.
tRump is trying to get Russia readmitted because Outin is ordering him to.

There are so many rules around custom license plates it is amazing anything gets approved by a DMV anywhere in the world. I am pretty sure even if you are a fan of #43 or in the landscaping business you can't get BUSH on your plate. Nor could you get Im Jewish if you are a Rabbi or VOTE REP, or PUSSY if you just like cats. It should not be a surprise you can't get the last name of a sitting President as you plate either. Onward.

But Swedish citizens do not have the right to free speech. The Tyranny of Sweden will dictate what you can and cannot say.

"The tyranny is Sweden.." How off base is that comment. They do have great freedom of speech there, but do not allow political license plates nor their leader to make dozens of outright lies everyday.

When a country has a 70% income tax and a 25% sales tax, that is tyranny. No private property rights there. The government decides what is best for the people. No thanks.

Yea, we can go it alone like Germany did in the 30s. That worked out okay for them.
All you trumpeters should read Mattis's resignation letter and the importance of alliances. Or read how tRump witlessly outed a mole in the Kremlin. This caused the German foreign minister to comment that tRump is a threat to all western alliances.

The world hates Trump and Americans until that time comes when they need our help, our money and our young men's lives to protect them because they cannot protect themselves. Almost as many people live in just NJ as Sweden and I wouldn't want to live in either!
