After winning the Person of the Year award, young climate change activist Greta Thunberg has once again been mocked by President Donald Trump who told her to work on her anger management problem.
Lashing out at the eco-warrior, who became the youngest person ever to receive the honorary title given by the TIME magazine, Trump wrote:
“So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”
Of course, like always, Greta didn’t think much of Trump’s statement and went on to show the president she refuses to budge as she updated her Twitter bio saying:
“A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.”
After the announcement that Greta Thunberg was named the person of the year went viral, TIME’s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal spoke out and explained the reasoning behind the decision.
“When she first heard about global warming as an eight-year-old, Thunberg says she thought, ‘That can’t be happening, because if that were happening, then the politicians would be taking care of it,’” he said.
“That they weren’t is precisely what motivated her to act, as it has youth the world over who are forcing us to confront the peril of our own inaction, from the student-led protests on the streets of Santiago, Chile, to the young democracy activists fighting for rights and representation in Hong Kong to the high schoolers from Parkland, Fla.
, whose march against gun violence Thunberg cites as an inspiration for her climate strikes.”
As Felsenthal added, “Thunberg demands action, and though far too many key measures are still moving in the wrong direction, there are nascent signs that action is coming.”
