In truth, the Swedish local weather and human rights activist turned the tables on the president in a Tuesday morning Instagram submit, following the discharge of contributors within the International Sumud Flotilla who have been captured by Israeli forces final week throughout their mission to ship support to Gaza.
Laughing at Trump and his feedback, Thunberg wrote, “I hear Donald Trump has once again expressed his flattering opinions on my character, and I appreciate his concern for my mental health.”
“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.”
The president labeled Thunberg a “troublemaker” whereas speaking to reporters in regards to the flotilla.
“She’s no longer into the environment now. She has an anger management problem,” he stated. “I think she should see a doctor. Have you ever watched her? She’s a young person. She’s so angry, she’s so crazy.”

Thunberg’s outrage appeared greater than acceptable given the situations different flotilla contributors claimed she needed to endure whereas in Israeli custody.
Turkish participant Ersin Çelik instructed the press that upon their seize, Israeli forces “dragged little Greta by her hair, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag as a warning to others.”
That is removed from the primary time the 22-year-old’s activist advocacy has gotten beneath Trump’s pores and skin. After Thunberg’s first failed mission to ship support to the individuals of Gaza again in June, he labeled her “strange” and “angry.”
Thunberg took Trump’s slight in stride on the time, telling the press, “I think the world needs many more young angry women, to be honest. Especially with everything going on right now. That’s the thing we need the most of.”
Again when she addressed the United Nations in regards to the urgency of the local weather disaster throughout his first time period, the president mocked the impassioned champion of the surroundings as a “very happy young girl.”
