a very brave young girl with a mammoth task in front of her, good luck, little one.x

well

Her father needs to give Him a good slap!

That poor child and you horrid media pimps

It's bad enough when an adult goads a teenager, beyond bad when an 'adult' serving in the upper of our government does it. Can't wait to see this 'man' go to jail.

Crickets.....

Greta Thumberg should slap D.Trump so he may wake up cause he is so deaf!

I don't think Greta is too worried about Mnuchin, she has the world at her feet & mega supporters.

Its clear that a college degree in economics has done nothing for him. What a vile human being.

Ass move, no class Munchkin.

Madness! MWAHH 😂🤣

'goad: provoke or annoy (someone) so as to stimulate an action or reaction.' he didn't goad her. he revealed his abject fear of her and strong women like her typical

🤬🤬🤬🤬

È proprio una brava bambina che lotta

How dare he!
