What’s funny about this is Greta directly blames people like Michelle Obama for this so called crisis...she stole her childhood remember.

You’re dirty.

Sometimes it takes one person to make a difference and if that person is Greta then so be it billions of people are standing side by side with you Greta

The words of Michelle Obama are always lifting. Trump is free to say whatever he wants. His words doesn't affect us anymore. We are well vaccinated from his own hatred.

Move out of the million dollar house on the coast then

Trump is a mindless thug, who on the world stage, is a stain on humanity. A coward and a bully to whom history will treat with the contempt he deserves. Greta is a brave activist who is focused on higher issues. We in Canada support her and despise trump.

Why would crooked politicians use this little girl as mere political tool and her parents allow it? Their target is Trump so she deserves his mockery

Michelle is thebest not BeBest

Michelle be looking more and more like Oprah

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😱

TypicalLeftwing.Hide behind children w/ disabilities to promote unrealistic agenda& avoid criticism.Whencriticized go after critics4attChild

betimefree TRUMP 2020 greta is wrong michelle

A beautiful person and a “true” First Lady! She loves her country and she loves the children of the world. MichelleObama

Only a very small insecure man who is aware that they have never earned anything honestly would stoop so low to be jealous of a teenager

Thank you My first lady Mrs.Obama!!! Yes Yes Yes wake up leaders!!!!

Stop with this girl...make a noise about the Hong Kong students instead......they deserve it---she deffo doesn't...

AprilDRyan That’s pretty Presidential. realflotus

TerrellDLewis Mrs Obama shows her brilliance over the over again. Well said! Give First Lady Trump some lessons, please

Not really. People are misinformed about the true cause of climate extremes. Geoengineering programs are by far the largest existential threat to the planet. These covert patented programs have been poisoning us for decades. wedonotconsent for the truth.

Maybe Greta can advise the Obamas on their home that is suppose to be underwater in 10 years. Helps to have a good advisor for climate change.

Who’s more irrelevant? Mooch or that little snot?

How about the people who are using her. Let’s face it. All she knows is the peopaganda she’s been fed by her failed education system.

Yes!!!

Who's cheering this Mislead Soros puppet on? Scientists say that man is .01% responsible for climate change. The earth's changing solar orbit is responsible. No carbon tax, protest or conference is going to change the solar orbit. CNN is fake, manufactured, partisan news

I agree with realDonaldTrump

Clown News Network

Ignore the haters GretaThurnberg, the GOP are going to hate hate hate 🎶, POTUS is going to hate hate hate 🎼, so shake it off and keep being awesome

buritsch 📌The 16-year-old Greta, doesn’t know anything about respecting, her elders, very disrespectful‼️

Laughing. We are laughing not to be mistaken for cheers. And it is not because the girl is austistic I have an autistic child at home. I laugh because a large group of adults are using this child as their shield in their war against made up climate change. Lol

MEANWHILE, Michael Obama still uses fossil Fuel burning tools. Nicely done! HYPOCRITE OF THE YEAR AWARD!

And millions who don’t support you or ideas!!!

👍

Says the man who just bought a 13 million dollar house that will be flooded if he actually believes climate change is real... hmmmm sit down transperson

We all ignore that doubter.

Who cares what she does ...

GretaThunberg

Why didn’t she reach out to nick sandman?

How about offering this young girl some help. You can see she has so much pressure on her. Where are her parents? Who is her guardian while she is away? How did she get into this situation? She doesn't look good to me. I am worried about her and all anyone wants to do is nothing.

This lady?

jongarysteele Wouldn't expect anything less from MO. She's a real classy lady.

BeBest

Regrettably Greta is a charcture of extremism. Children are often over emotional and animated which makes her look unhinged when thrust into the political world. I admire her passion but I feel she should focus that on developing solutions for the future not empty rhetoric

Still waiting on Melania and Pence outrage!

CNN still covering up the story about a sexual pervert Epstein . CNN by proxy Supports sexual assault .

A leader should be caring. If a good cause is not supported, what is a message then? You are stupid, or maybe you are that type of a person who solves problems when authorities don' t.

You mean Michael?

I'm sure Trump will have something to say probably saying Obama's are crazy or something

Yay Greta!

This from a woman that flies in private jets all over the world

Trump is jealous. He is narcissistic and can’t stand for anyone to beat him in anything. His focus is totally on himself and not what is important to the people. Congrats Greta!

Cheering you on, but behind your back buying $15 million mansions on the coastal water because they don’t believe you. Amirite MichelleObama?

💜💗💜💗💜💗💜

MichelleObama You can always be counted on to support the teens being bullied. Bless you

But doing nothing more for the actual environment than cheering on a child

She was not mocked at all. What are you talking about?

Greta has Asperger Syndrome. She actually believes we are all going to be dead in 10 years. Her parents and the Climate Change Church should be ashamed using her to hide behind. It's a pathetic attempt to deflect criticism.

Lol the President gave her good advice. The Democratic Party and her parents are stealing her childhood

The world is SO hateful ESPECIALLY the Trump supporters! He’s says something negative [and very UNPRESIDENTIAL] and his supporters start in on her!!! It’s awful!! I have NEVER lived in a world like this ! People should be ashamed at themselves !!!

There’s a lot of Trump sheep on this thread. Instead of complaining about the Obamas new house, why don’t you go outside and clean up the 17 rusty shit cars you have on your property and your double wide trailer, before heading out to pick up your welfare checks and food stamps.

She has a Weiner

House Judiciary passes both impeachment articles against Trump. The Senate under the leadership hired gun Mitch McConnell may disagree (I traveled the Seven Seas, you and I may disagree but it is justice what we need not outright denial by the Republican Senate and the President

Spoken like an adult! Thanks, Michelle!

bmr0954 Be best trump!

What a joke. I am referring to cnn

Hey mike.... Shut the hell up

Woah what a daring and controversial stance by the former first lady. She’s really so BOLD. Lmaooo

That's kind of her

She should of sent that message to realDonaldTrump

As usual, our true First Lady is the voice of kindness and reason. tRump is having another one of his temper tantrums because he thinks it should have been him. Sorry, does not go to a racist, sexist, criminal.

Please just go away already

And the millions who are not

Why do I have to see this? 😱😱

Why don’t you offer the support to this teen when you removed his right to have an opinion ? I like how CNN never coverd the story , I guess a teen being hospitalized for his right to his opinion or belief not us important. Don’t preach freedom when you take it away ,hypocrites

Former! Former! Former!

No one cares about Obama’s

Cheering on what exactly? She’s not a performer. Unless of course Michelle is suggesting she is a performer? I guess you can argue that people should cheer on her complaining about stuff? Not going to solve anything but ok.

How many planes have you been on lately

This lady gets/got magazine covers but Melania Trump can't....

Don’t remember this for Barron, to which she has the most experience raising children in the White House. Missed opportunity. Crippled by hate much?

The Obama's just dropped over 11 million on an oceanfront home. Not something you do if you expect it to be underwater anytime soon. But then leftist causes and hypocrisy go hand in hand.

You've got to admire the irony of plastering the cLiMaTe cHaNgE kid on a magazine that leaves a bigger carbon footprint than the size of her ego.

No one gives a crap what any Obama says!

Fake news. Bad ratings.

Irrelevant.

Global Warming is a LIE! The Sun is powered by nuclear fusion transforming its mass into energy and reducing its mass while diminishing and enlarging Earth’s orbit moving it away from the Sun at a rate of ~1.5cm/yr. According to the physics & cosmology, the “Globe” is freezing.

He is such a narcissist she deserves it

I’d replace “doubters” with “assholes.” I’m tired of “we go high.” They play dirty. That means we have to fight them in the dirt.

As she walks outside the back door to the beach ... I.e., at sea level.

It's not Greta it's the climate left that uses her instead of having a real debate....

Just everyone wants to get in on the climate topic. Nobody is talking about educating the world on how to combat, fight, reverse it. We’re all rebels. The world will be saved by our timely action, not speeches from podiums.

The narcissist never cheers for anyone but themselves, that’s a fact. And it’s hard when you are the target!

Yeah, the job of Melania? Wait no Melania is just pretending because she doesn’t care do you? Michelle a true 1st lady!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

MichelleObama has more class and courage in her pinky finger than President realDonaldTrump and the GOP combined!

What did Melania have to say about all this? Somebody?... Anybody?... Hello?... Did somebody forget to plug her?

CNNs Boss.

Thank you Michelle for being a strong supporter of what's right, and true

“Millions of fellow mental disorders”

Keep lying and scaring that girl. You libs have no morals.

And that millions arent...

This is so baseless

Lol. She just bought beach front property. She doesn't even believe Greta.

You know who mocked a group of 16 year olds minding there own business CNN.

goawayangryswedishsprite

Aw how nice

Anything to get in the spotlight and oppose Trump. She doesn’t give two shits. Poor girl is a puppet.

Both are irrelevant

atDavidHoffman FLOTUS you can steal this message too if you like. Example of a real First Lady!

There are many points in history where the voice of one drowns out the many. This is what drives a dictatorship. Welcome to rUsSiA, my comrades.

What's with the euphimism 'the doubters'? Why continue to tiptoe around the Nazi in the room? Just say his name, Michelle. The Obamas need to stop playing it cool, it's doing no one any good. Get hot, call him out properly or don't bother.

Similarly, millions are “doubters” & don’t subscribe to Greta Thunberg’s message. Furthermore, critique is not mockery.

Michelle actually looks like Micheal . Unbelievable. I don’t believe the crazy conspiracy theories about Michelle Obama being a man but I have to admit she actually looks like a man

How sweet of Michael to do that

Food for thought

Nd millions are not

Is this a joke?

Stay home, u were flotus not potus

Says the woman who just bought a house on an island a foot above sea level 😂

See how it’s done FLOTUS ? Actually, you are probably taking notes so you can plagiarize Michelle again.

🤡

Lol...10 points she got now....

Ignoring people with real questions critical to our movement forward with our changing climate is silly. Climate scientists have questions and answers while being ignored by media. Other young people are actually making a difference while greta shames people

How dare you?

When in doubt have an Obama speak out

He is such a shameful character. So many people miss the decency of you and your husband.

你们这些左媒该关门了

How about go to school education is important This is how she wants your 🌎 to be NOT hers

FLOTUS where is your support for Greta? I guess it only pertains to your kid. You are a joke just like your orange husband. You BeBest is a joke too because you really don’t care.....

Shemale

Whatever it takes to make trump and his supporters miserable and angry I'm all for it.

And here we have a REAL First Lady like Michelle Obama has to step in & speak up on behalf of a young girl being bullied. Thank you MichelleObama for showing true compassion & leadership. ForeverFirstLady

me and my friend Georges are rooting for you!!

Nobody voted for either her or the child.

Anyone else tired of hearing “advice” from the elder statesman and his wife? There was an understanding that former Presidents/First Ladies would not comment on matters involving the current administration. The Obama’s have disregarded this social mores - not going high...

a class act through and through.

Biden supports her too lol.

Let’s start here!

Child abuse

No one cares what HE has to say

Oh Michelle. Go stomp your carbon footprint into your 14 million dollar mansion in Martha’s Vineyard while you pay lip service The biggest lip service Brat in today’s woke crowd. You sicken me.

Have the Obamas moved into their new Martha’s Vineyard mansion yet?

This poor child has been brain washed by the Climate change hoax! She should be watching a movie with her friends and enjoying her youth.

Miss her greatly

Do you understand the definition of mocked? JA!

Same thing he said to himself when everyone found out that Michelle was actually Michael 😂 AskBarack

Why not encourage the child to go to school? She clearly needs it.

BS

She’s a big dude

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂hypocrite

Yawnnnnnnnnn
