The US president posted saying the teenage activist ‘seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future’ alongside footage of her UN address in which she is visibly upset.
In the 16-year-old’s speech on Monday, she told politicians they had ‘stolen her childhood’ with their ’empty words’ on climate change.Saying that she should be in school rather than standing in front of them, she asked: ‘How dare you?’ In a tweet to his 64.7 million followers, Trump wrote: ‘She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!’The US leader, who doesn’t believe in climate change, spent only a few minutes at the summit before leaving to hold his own ‘global call to protect religious freedom’ at a separate venue.
His tweet – which has received more than 93,000 likes so far – spurred outrage among many Twitter users, who warned him to stay away from Thunberg.Eugene Gu added: ‘The President of the United States making a sarcastic, snide comment to make fun of a 16-year-old passionate about fighting climate change is a new low for Trump. Disgusting.’filmed giving the president a filthy lookIn her speech, she said: ‘This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here.
‘For more than 30 years the science has been crystal clear. How dare you continue to look away, and come here saying that you are doing enough, when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight.‘But no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe.
😁 😁 Lol. 😂
Disagree. I blame her parents and their PR team for allowing this 16 year old to attract media attention. Send this girl back to school and let the adults take over.
I won't mess with her
I think it’s quite funny. The lass needs to cheer up a bit and start living her own life. Middle class upbringing with privileges most can only dream of.
...and Greta’s response... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gotta say, I'm with The Don on this one
Donald Trump is the man that imitated a disabled man during his presidential campaign. You can't be surprised that he mocks a young girl. He should just be ignored.
Yall could have chosena pic where she didnt look 40 ffsake
I thought you was a powerful young woman 😂 now she’s a poor innocent little girl.
You want to be heard prepare to be heckled otherwise stay out of it.
