Everything Donald Trump and Greta Thunberg have said about each other as he comments on her being 'kidnapped'

Everything Donald Trump and Greta Thunberg have said about each other as the POTUS addresses her alleged 'kidnapping'.

Earlier this week, Thunberg and a handful of other political campaigners were making their way to Gaza with aid when Israeli forces seized their vessel.

The 22-year-old said in a pre-recorded video that she had been 'kidnapped,' stating: "If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces — or forces that support Israel.

"I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible."

The Israel Foreign Ministry later confirmed the seized ship had docked and Thunberg and other activists had been taken to Gurion Airport to board flights back to their respective home countries.

It's no secret President Trump and the young Swedish climate change activist aren't exactly BFFs, so the POTUS' immediate response to call Thunberg a 'strange person' after the stunt came as little surprise.

"She's a young, angry person. I don't know if it's real anger; it's hard to believe, actually," Trump added.

"I saw what happened," Trump went on. "She's certainly different. Anger management. I think she has got to go to anger management class. That's my primary recommendation for her."

He also dismissed her kidnapping claims, adding (via Reuters): "I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg."

But Trump's feud with the Nobel Peace Prize nominee spans the ages, from when the young woman was just a child.

Let's take a look at everything the pair have said about each other.

'Anger management problem'

The 78-year-old clearly likes to portray the peaceful demonstrator as angry, and it was no different when she was named Time's Person of the Year in 2019 at the age of 17.

Writing at the time, Trump said: "So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!"

However, Thunberg proceeded to mock Trump for his remarks by changing her Twitter bio to read: "A teenager working on her anger management problem.

"Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend."

'Chill Donald, Chill!'

Fast forward just 11 months when Trump was ranting about alleged voter fraud on election day and having a somewhat meltdown over the result, Thunberg wrote: "So ridiculous," in response to his 'STOP THE COUNT!' post.

"Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!”

Reflecting about her timely riposte on the British TV show, Good Morning Britain, Thunberg said: "I don’t see it as ‘I want revenge’ or something. I try, as much as I can, to not speak about individuals. Because that’s what they [politicians] do.”

'A very happy old man'

It was Thunberg's pinnacle moment when, age just 16, she slammed world leaders for not doing enough to tackle the climate crisis.

In her speech at the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit, she scolded leaders with a blunt 'how dare you' to their alleged indifference to the threat.

But the viral moment rustled some feathers, with Trump taking to Twitter to write: "She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!"

But Thunberg took the sarcastic snipe in her stride, again changing her Twitter bio to include the phrase.

She then got her revenge when Trump was booted from the White House in 2021, tweeting: "He seems like a very happy old man, looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!"
