I think the Swedes have separation of powers, so the judicial branch doesn't care if you insult the executive branch.
Also, the Swedes have this habit of keeping to the moral high ground. I think that is because of all the mountains, they understand high ground, there's no risk of avalanche at the peak of a mountain. Only when you go down do you risk being dragged down further. (This metaphore is working a whole lot better than I expected.)
At most it may have resulted in a face-palming diplomat and a call to the relevant judge.Diplomat: "Please please please don't do anything different than usual."Judge: "Don't tell me how to do my job! I always handle every case fairly!"
They do, and they were quick to point that out.Still, the judge may have had a bad hair day and went all "so, you think you can intimidate me with your high-placed friends?"
Watching it again, every word he rapped was spot on then and spot on now. Prescient, definitely.
I waited to see Trump’s twitter response after this went viral, never happened. Trump must have an existential terror of tangling with Eminem which would be a verbal sparring in which Trump would be reduced to rubble (metaphorically). Bullies only fear other bullies.
I hadn’t heard about Trump siccing the SS on Eminem, what a cowardly way to respond.
If they DID make it a condition? My respect for Sweden would be even greater. Jesus Christ, Feckhead sent A HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR. To an ALLY. Meanwhile, that guy in Russia, Paul something, is just rotting away over there as Trump pretends Putin is having the man over for Tuesday borscht nights.
ASAP Rocky is as a-political as they come.

Also, I like your metaphor.
“Donald Trump publicly worked...”
Exactly.
I which *we* had separation of powers.
They did. The Prime Minister or someone like that is not going to be in town for his visit.

Well, Ben Carson might if he wakes up
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.

Sorry to hear that. Peace.
Excellent reasoning. Effusively thanking the Great Orange Mistake would be like putting two thumbs in the eyes of Sweden.
It may even have been a condition of his release that President McShowboat not be given credit for Rocky's freedom.

Remember, if you weren't odd you couldn't be prime.
