The US President has made comments amid activist's attempt to reach Gaza aboard an aid flotilla and deportation afterwards
US President Donald Trump has mocked activist Greta Thunberg over attempt to reach Gaza aboard an aid flotilla, arrest and deportation afterwards.
Over 400 activists, with Thunberg among them, were detained by the Israeli navy on Friday as they tried to breach the blockade of the enclave by sea. More than 130 of them were deported to Trkiye over the weekend. Thunberg became a part of a group of activists deported to Greece and Slovakia earlier on Monday.
When asked about the Swedish activist, Trump responded with "she is a troublemaker." "She's no longer into the environment, now she's into this... She needs to see a doctor. She has an anger management problem," he told journalists at the Oval Office on Monday.
On Saturday, fellow activists and lawyers claimed that Thunberg, along with others, was subjected to "torture" and "harsh treatment" in an Israeli prison after they were arrested. West Jerusalem later rejected the claims, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said he is "proud" of the harsh conditions the activists are being held in.
Thunberg and Trump have been feuding for years, involving throwing each other's own words back in the face. Back in 2019, he made remarks on the activist's "anger management problem" after she was named Time's Person of the Year. Thunberg responded by updating her Twitter (now X) biography to include: "A teenager working on her anger management problem."
