"Now, some may say that this is not very statesmanlike, but there are reasons to be worried about the consequences for international relations if a populist [should become President]", Kinberg Batra told the baffled TV4 reporter in July, as she was waving the "turd sign".
"When I was asked to choose between a heart and a turd, Donald Trump made me worried about how he would lead the United States in a troubled world", she explained.
Anna Kinberg Batra, who is the chair of the Moderate Party and assumed to become the next Prime Minister of Sweden in 2018, was then asked if she would not have to regret giving Donald Trump the ”turd sign” should he be elected President.
"In that case, I would have to take that sign down", she replied.
