Trump: Greta Thunberg Needs “Anger Management Class”
President Trump commented on activist Greta Thunberg attempting to sail to Gaza to protest the Israeli occupation. Trump suggests she needs “anger management.”
REPORTER: Do you have a message for Greta Thunberg, and did she come up on your call with the Prime Minister today? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, she’s a strange person. She’s a young, angry person. I don’t know if it’s real anger. It’s hard to believe, actually, but I saw what happened. She’s certainly different. Anger management-I think she has to go to an anger-management class. That’s my primary recommendation. REPORTER: Was she kidnapped by Israel, as she says? PRESIDENT TRUMP: Was she kidnapped? I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg. … REPORTER: What about aid in Gaza? You mentioned the flotilla. Do you have a response at all about Israel intercepting this boat, and can you give us an update on what’s happening with the entry of aid into Gaza right now? PRESIDENT TRUMP: We’ve had people shot by Israeli forces who are trying to get in from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Gaza right now is in the midst of a massive negotiation between us and Hamas-and Israel and Iran actually are involved-and we’ll see what’s going to happen with Gaza. We want to get the hostages back. It’s all I can tell you.
