Greta Thunberg’s venomous reaction to Donald Trump after referring to her as “strange”
Greta Thunberg, a Swedish climate star, and President Donald Trump are still at odds. Greta retaliated after Trump publicly called the 22-year-old activist “strange” and “too angry,” and her comments are going viral online. Once again, Greta Thunberg has found herself at the heart of global drama, and Donald Trump didn’t hesitate to voice his opinions.
After allegedly being arrested by Israeli police while sailing into Gaza with humanitarian assistance, the 22-year-old Swedish climate activist was deported from Israel on June 10.
Israeli officials categorically refute Thunberg’s assertion that she and eleven other activists were “kidnapped in international waters,” referring to the expedition as “a selfie yacht” and nothing more than “a media provocation” intended for publicity.
Shortly after the group was detained, Thunberg was heard saying, “If you see this video we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces — or forces that support Israel,” in a pre-recorded video posted on Instagram. Trump was questioned by reporters on June 10 about whether he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had spoken about Thunberg on their phone conversation earlier that day.
He said to reporters, “She’s a strange person.” She is a youthful, irate individual. I’m not sure if that fury is genuine; in fact, it’s difficult to accept.
“I witnessed what took place. She is undoubtedly unique. control of anger. She has to take anger management classes, in my opinion. That is the main thing I would advise her to do. Additionally, Trump categorically denied her charges, stating: “I believe that Israel already faces enough issues without Greta Thunberg’s kidnapping.”
No one was particularly surprised, but many thought Trump had gone too far by making personal attacks on Greta instead of questioning her opinions. Greta was eventually deported after being arrested by Israeli soldiers.
A flurry of media greeted Thunberg during a brief stopover in France on her way back to Sweden, and they couldn’t help but inquire about her thoughts on Trump’s most recent comments. To be honest, with everything that is happening right now, I believe that the world needs a lot more young, irate women. That’s what we really need,” she retorted.
When asked if she acknowledged entering Israel unlawfully, Thunberg explained: “I was unaware that I had entered the nation unlawfully. In my testimony, I made it abundantly evident that we were abducted in international waters and taken against our will into Israel. In order to distribute supplies and raise awareness of the suffering in Gaza, Thunberg was a member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s humanitarian expedition.
Along with Thunberg, other noteworthy passengers on the boat included journalist Yanis Mhamdi, Al Jazeera host Omar Faiad, European Parliament member Rima Hassan, and FFC organizers Thiago Ávila and Yasemin Acar. “This mission was an attempt to deliver aid to Gaza, which is in dire need,” she clarified.
Additionally, to express support and let you know that we see you and what is going on, and that we cannot stand by and do nothing in the face of all of this. She also didn’t hold back when discussing the current crisis:
“The siege, the systematic starvation of over two million people, and the full-blown live stream genocide make it more important now than it has ever been.”
Meanwhile, Israel maintains its adamant denial of any genocide charges.
