Donald Trump, this week, felt the need to tee off on activist Greta Thunberg, last seen detained in Israel, and later deported.
Asked about Thunberg’s detainment this week, Trump ripped Thunberg as a “troublemaker.”
“You mean she’s no longer into the environment and now she’s doing this? She’s a troublemaker, she has anger management problems, and she should see a doctor,” Trump told reporters. “She’s so angry, she’s so crazy, you can have her.”
Greta responded in an Instagram post this week.

“I hear Donald Trump has once again expressed his flattering opinions on my character, and I appreciate his concern for my mental health,” the activist said in the post.

“I would kindly receive any recommendations you might have to deal with these so-called ‘anger management problems,’ since — judging by your impressive track record — you seem to be suffering from them too.”
Trump had taken a similar shot at Thunberg back in June.
“She is a strange person,” Trump said in June after Thunberg had claimed she was “kidnapped” by Israel on a previous flotilla attempt. “She is a young, angry person. I don’t know if it’s real anger—it’s hard to believe. She’s certainly different.”
“I think she has to go to an anger management class, that’s my primary recommendation for her.”

He also, at that point, suggested the young actress take “anger management classes.”
“I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg!,” Trump added in June.
Even back in 2019, when Thunberg was known mostly as a climate activist, Trump reacted poorly to Thunberg being named Time’s 2019 Person of the Year, even then suggesting she “must work on her Anger Management problem.”
So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill! https://t.co/M8ZtS8okzE
