President Donald Trump has never been afraid of criticizing people or mocking his political opponents. However, as we've seen time and again, his shady nicknames for his enemies often reveal his own deep-seated insecurities.

Trump Tried To Troll Greta Thunberg And Accidentally Described Himself

Trump has always been critical of Thunberg since she first gained fame as a teenage climate change activist. However, his latest criticisms feel particularly self-descriptive, as if he were holding up a mirror to the remarks made about him over the past decade. "Well, she's a strange person," a smirking Trump told reporters (via The Daily Mail). The president's comment felt very reminiscent of the "weird" label Tim Walz gave Trump and his followers during the 2024 presidential campaigns, which very clearly got under Trump's skin at the time.
