Greta Thunberg
Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg laughed at US President Donald Trump, answering the head of state with his own words. The fact that the schoolgirl trolled the American leader was noticed by The Hill.
The activist quoted Trump's post on Twitter, in which he called for an end to the counting of votes cast in the presidential election. “So ridiculous. Donald has to work on his anger management problem and then go to the movies with a friend. Cool down, Donald, cool down! ” – wrote Thunberg.
So she redirected to Trump a statement he made in December 2019 after Thunberg was recognized as the person of the year by Time magazine. Then the head of state advised the eco-activist to work on her anger.
Later, when Thunberg was asked how she feels after being publicly insulted by Trump, the Swede assured her that it had absolutely no effect on her. She added that she and her supporters constantly face similar criticism. “We ourselves have put ourselves in the spotlight, (…) and people do not understand us because they do not realize how critical [the environmental problem] is,” the girl stressed.
In October, Thunberg urged Americans to vote for Joe Biden in the US presidential election. The 17-year-old activist stressed that she has never been involved in politics, but the upcoming US elections are “above all this.”
