Trump ROASTS Greta Thunberg: “She’s a Strange Person… I Think She Has to Go to an Anger Management Class”
Former President Donald Trump has reignited his long-running feud with radical climate activist Greta Thunberg, offering a scathing rebuke of the Swedish figurehead’s recent outburst against Israel. During a recent appearance, Trump labeled Thunberg “a strange person” and suggested she should “go to an anger management class,” a line that has ignited applause from conservative audiences while sending leftist media into a frenzy.
The comments came after Thunberg claimed she was “kidnapped” by Israel following her detainment during a pro-Palestinian protest. Thunberg, who has faced mounting criticism for abandoning climate issues in favor of radical left-wing activism, continues to stir international controversy with her increasingly inflammatory rhetoric. Her most recent social media tirade accused Israel of “genocide” while aligning herself with militant protest groups, drawing criticism from both sides of the political aisle.
Trump, known for his blunt assessments and fearless critiques, didn’t hold back. “Greta is a very angry young woman,” Trump said. “She’s a strange person, and I think she has to go to an anger management class and then go to a good old-fashioned movie with a friend!” His remarks recalled his earlier tongue-in-cheek jab from 2019, when he sarcastically told Thunberg to “chill” and enjoy a movie after she scowled at him during a UN climate summit.
While some liberal pundits rushed to defend Thunberg, claiming Trump’s words were “cruel” and “unpresidential,” the former commander-in-chief’s supporters argue his comments highlight a necessary pushback against a generation of loud, misinformed activists who get a free pass from the mainstream media. “She’s not a climate activist anymore. She’s a professional protester,” one conservative commentator remarked.
Indeed, Thunberg’s recent shift from climate alarmism to hard-left advocacy has alienated many moderates who once sympathized with her message. Her involvement in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, particularly ones targeting Israel, has drawn widespread backlash. Her claim of being “kidnapped” by Israeli authorities was debunked shortly after video evidence showed her willingly participating in an illegal protest, and no force was used beyond standard detainment protocol.
Trump’s critique struck a nerve not just because of its sharpness, but because it echoed what many everyday Americans already believe — that Greta Thunberg has become emblematic of a radical activist class more concerned with disruption than dialogue. In an age where young progressives often receive praise for extreme behavior, Trump’s comments reflect a call for sanity, restraint, and responsibility.
Thunberg’s activism has repeatedly veered into hostile and self-righteous territory. From scolding world leaders at climate summits to participating in anti-police protests, she has increasingly aligned herself with socialist and anti-capitalist causes. Her dramatic social media posts often feature caps-locked warnings of planetary destruction or baseless accusations against democratic nations like the United States and Israel.
Trump’s remarks also underscore a broader frustration among conservatives with what many see as the media’s double standards. Had a conservative young person behaved with the same hostility, it’s likely they would have been labeled an extremist or conspiracy theorist. But Thunberg is still celebrated by Hollywood, international NGOs, and leftist outlets as a “voice of the next generation.”
Greta’s defenders often cite her age as a shield against criticism, but at 22 years old, she’s no longer a child and is well aware of the implications of her incendiary rhetoric. Conservatives argue that if she chooses to thrust herself into global politics with unfounded accusations and unfiltered rage, she should be prepared to face tough public scrutiny — including from someone as outspoken as Donald Trump.
Notably, Trump’s comments also signal a growing impatience among voters heading into the 2024 election season. Americans are weary of media darlings who contribute little to meaningful policy but dominate headlines with dramatics and protests. Thunberg’s descent from environmental advocate to full-time agitator is being seen not as evolution, but as the unraveling of credibility.
From Trump’s perspective, the spectacle surrounding Thunberg represents everything wrong with modern activist culture — a culture he believes prioritizes attention over accuracy, volume over virtue. And by calling her out in no uncertain terms, he’s once again shown he’s unafraid to say what many others only whisper behind closed doors.
For Trump supporters, it’s another reason to support a leader who doesn’t bow to political correctness or media pressure. His unfiltered honesty resonates with millions who are tired of being talked down to by elites and their teenage mouthpieces.
Ultimately, Trump’s takedown of Thunberg is less about personal animosity and more about principle — the principle that public figures, no matter their age or background, should be held accountable for what they say and do. And when they cross the line, they shouldn’t be surprised when someone like Donald Trump reminds them — loudly — that America still has a voice of its own.
