Greta Thunberg responds to Trump’s sarcastic comments

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg has responded to US President Donald Trump's sarcastic comments. After Trump took aim at her 'anger problem', Thunberg responded by suggesting that perhaps Trump needs help controlling his own anger.

I heard Donald Trump make another praiseworthy comment about my character. I appreciate his concern for my mental health.

She also wrote, "If you have any advice on how to deal with this so-called 'anger problem', I would be happy to take it - because from your past behavior, it seems that you yourself suffer from this problem."

After her arrest by Israel and subsequent expulsion from the country, Trump called Thunberg "angry" and "controversial."

The Israeli navy recently intercepted a flotilla of 44 ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Trump told reporters that she (Greta) is just a troublemaker. She is no longer working on the environment, but she has anger management problems. I think she should go to a doctor. Have you ever seen her? She is a young woman, but she is always so angry, like she is crazy.

This is not the first time that Trump and Thunberg have had a war of words before. In June of this year, when she embarked on her first aid mission to Gaza, Trump called her “weird” and “angry.” In response, Thunberg wrote that Trump had mocked Thunberg after her speech on climate change at the United Nations during Trump’s first term, saying that she was a very happy young girl with a bright future.

Greta Thunberg, who rose to global fame in 2018 with the “Fridays for Future” movement, is now also active in humanitarian aid work. She arrived in Greece on Monday after being detained while delivering aid to Gaza.

She was greeted with a rousing welcome along with about 160 colleagues upon her arrival in Greece. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that a total of 171 workers from the Gaza-bound flotilla had been expelled from Israel.
