In response to climate activist Greta Thunberg being named Time magazine's Person of the Year, the president tweeted that it was 'so ridiculous' and the 16-year-old should 'work on her anger management problem.'

Chill Greta chill 😂

How mad you reckon you could make her? gretaragequit

It’s crazy . Look at Greta’s tweets , she is a cronic complainer, the traffic, the air, the food , the government, etc, etc She should be at school learning . POTUS is only saying this empress has no clothes IngrahamAngle marklevinshow dbongino

It is ridiculous

She is a spoiled BRAT

She should be in Russia or China or India. Anybody checking her parents bank account?

hes a troll my guy

Where's first eife an her antibullying

Great pick.

Trump is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the United States. What kind of grown man publicly attacks a child? How can any person with a conscience continue to support him?

This young woman has Asperger's. Here is again, mocking individual with ANY sort of emotional or physical challenge. Her poise is perfection.

She has been weaponized by the green deal warriors

realDonaldTrump tweeted out exactly what was written on her Twitter profile GretaThunberg:

Continue to 'be angry' GretaThunberg. Your outrage is the front of the wave of activism this world needs to create ClimateChange for the future!!

Our new normal is calling a 16 y/o child with autism a “brat” and telling her to work on her “anger management problem.”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....I think he thinks he should’ve won.

Only that guy would go after a smarter-than-him supporter of Climate Change policies, but then what can we expect from a no-nothing, corrupt president whose name will ALWAYS have an asterisk for being impeached

That's because he's a jealous, insecure, spiteful five-year-old. He's a shameful embarrassment to this country.

Better choice than some douchebag like davidhogg111

It’s not an award p, NPR. And you know that.

She should go back to school. Another child controlling her elders

Adolf Hitler was Time magazine’s person of the year as well 😉👍🏼

Shame on him!!!👎👎👎👎😢😢😢

'Chill' is such an appropriate word for a climate hysteric.

He’s just digging his hole deeper.

GretaThunbergOutdidTrump

Are we really surprised? He’s a pos.

I love you, but you quote too many Trump tweets. Time to stop giving it attention.

He just can't handle anyone getting the attention, esp a young female climate activist. He is much more of a child than she.

Oh SHE should ? YOU are the most angry little man I’ve ever seen

ァくださいお?か

Seriously?

She really should Conan tbe Belgian Malinois would of been a much better choice. She is just a pawn

Snowflakes!

Oh the horror!

Trump(et) can only wish. Greta is the REAL deal!

Funny how Rethuglikkkans got their panties in a twist over a bad pun involving Twitler’s forgotten child, yet have no problem with a personal attack on a child they disagree with.

Congratulations to Ms. Thuneberg! Thank for your work!

The President is a child

He’s a bully and not being ‘ Be Best’.

Greta should not listen to this guy. He has nothing to say

Times Person if the Year...

BeBest

Forget The Grump, celebrate with Greta!

And yet aired interviews today with nepotistic daughter Ivanka and WH strategist defending Trump betraying his oath of office while obstructing justice! NPR once was none for facts only but not today!

Trump is just mad because he isn’t on the cover

POTUS fussing on twitter about a 16 year old advocating for climate change. Let that sink in for a minute. 🤦🏾‍♂️

The Perez always keepin it real

realDonaldTrump is such a juvenile bully...

One can always count on Trump having the most ungracious and moronic response.

realDonaldTrump has a point.

Trump took on a 16-year-old girl and lost.

Holy crap! Someone on his staff needs to look him in the eye and tell him how stupid it is to take on 16 year old Greta. How could he have thought this was a good idea?

Said the guy ranting on tweeter at 2 am

Only an orange faced bully would be threatened by a 16 year old girl. Doesn’t his wife push the “Be Better” slogan? Hey Trump, BE BETTER!

Post some Real News. Stop showing this kid. There are actually Real Activist's in harm's way at the front lines. Thank is a privilege yelling at the TV and the news puts her on because she's a little WHITE! PERIOD. OF SHE WASN'T WHITE THEY WOULD IGNORE HER LIKE THEY DO THE OTHERS

She should be very proud❤️

Trump is the anti Christ

Only trump is low enough to attack a 16 year old. Republicans should be proud of their leader

It’s a low point if a 16 year old is making you this insecure.

He’s right.

And your First Lady immediately jump to condemn the bullying of a teenager for part of a very old man?

Good summary of ridiculous situation🤣😂

It's pathetic though that Time chooses a hyperbolic alarmist as the person of the year instead of someone who is actually making a difference on climate change, or the Hong Kong protesters, or the scientists who are about to make AIDS a historical footnote, or the CRISPR guys.

Trump is a bratty 3 year old.

Pathetic little man crying because the strong young woman won the prize he thought he should get. How much you want to bet that Greta's visa will be denied next time? Petty , petty, petty....and yet his minions worship him. 😡

Who’s Trump’s anger management counselor ? Stephen Miller ?

Just waiting on her to go Carrie on her prom

Ok realDonaldTrump Say that tweet, 10-15 times fast!

She didn't 'win' it. She was chosen. And, that we have a 6-year-old in the WH, grousing and grumbling with envy is an embarrassment.

Can’t we just impeach him for that alone?! ImpeachAndConvictTrump

Says the man who throws tantrums every day and follows it up worth 1k+ tweets on the subject of said tantrum.

PROJECTING MUCH?

I don't think trump is clever enough to write that. He has a ghost-writer. Either stephen miller or another cronie.

He’s just insanely jealous.

If it’s anger management issues he’s worried about I can think of a few senators he should worry about first

In the failure to protect our beautiful world and only home, there is much to be angry about . ClimateEmergency

Of course he did.

IronyMan strikes again!

He’s right-just because she’s a teenager doesn’t mean she gets to say and do whatever without critique

Well he’s right! She’s angry at everybody and bring used by pple! Where are her parent? Where is the social services.

realDonaldTrump projecting again.

no record he has ever worked on his anger management

Greta has done more than the President could ever do with climate change. He is just jealous 😫

Maybe get a girl makeup game going...plain much?

Perhaps GretaThunberg she can get on board with ScottPresler thePersistence who is putting forth a tremendous effort. or with senatemajldr MitchMcConnell who is advocating for industrialHemp and she can actually do something about ClimateChange for a Change.

infuriating

She look like some kinda Tolkien character.

I agree with trump. Her parents are abusing her

Typical example of a child abuse. I wonder who’s going to be democrats next idol, a toddler?

He appears incapable of rational thought. Can he not muster a simple, “Congratulations”?

It is ridiculous and we all should work on our anger issues. She throws tantrums. If adults are going to exploit her and she is ill then they are the evil ones.

It nauseates me that he may serve as a role model for a single person. Resist NotMyPresident

That’s a new face of our Democratic Party?

goddamn disgrace to the white house, the country, to the world.

Gossip, NPR? I can't blame you, really. Shame the Trump virus infected this achievement, but he has a gift. Way to go, Greta! Well deserved. genius

Greta is very happy that Trump tweeted about her. She knows that it keeps the spotlight on climate change. She wins!

Clearly we know who the mature one in this case is since Trump never got past Middle School bully stage.

What an ass

Someone is acting pretty childish and he isn't the 16 year old. It's the old bully.

The United States is currently under the leadership of a child. And a Republican congress who will do anything to keep the child in power.

BeBest

Trump is just angry that Greta surpassed him in maturity 14 years ago.

Recall that Trump created a fake Time cover with his face on it and posted it in his golf clubs. His insecurity is showing.

Scott Presler deserves Time’s Person of the Year over Greta Thunberg. He’s doing a hell of a lot more than her. Who agrees?

Trump does not sound presidential to me. Idiotic is more likely.

By PiaGuerra

Irony defined repeatedly by realDonaldTrump in his tweets as well as his Twitter ID.

LittleDonnie is REALLY HURT. He wanted that award SO BAD and the grownups gave it to a MEAN GIRL instead of the bestest 10 yo POTUS ever!

FLOTUS FLOTUS kids are off limits.. get your man

Again, NPR pressuring adults to take direction from children who endorse public policies that NPR supports.

Then his people photoshopped his head onto her body. He's not a teenage girl. And alleged pedophile yes, but not an actual teenaged girl.

Maybe POTUS should work on his jealousy problem.

He capitalized ‘Anger Management’ in his tweet. You should quote it correctly so his absurdity is further revealed.

So it’s okay to bully a 16 yo but it’s not ok to use his kids name to make a point? Ok. Whatevs.

And her twitter profile aced it.

That idea the Trump is 'president', now THATS RIDICULOUS. And this Bully in Chief is nothing more than an angry egomanic. What a lousy role model. Teachers must be exhausted dealing with Trump's lack of Ethics.

Neener neener, Trump !

He's right

realDonaldTrump CorruptTrump PutinsPuppet is jealous and is lashing out at a courageous young lady. He only likes young girls he can molest or watch undress.

She's no more mentally challenged than the stable genius' son Baron. Right, Melania?

Her response was to update her profile, because she is unflappable in the way Trump and his lickspittles will never understand.

Trump should chill and read the Constitution.

And then his 2020 campaign tweeted this:

🤔 The poor child is exploited by politicians and the media.

Ah yes, Melania’s BeBest initiative.

Congratulations Greta! We need millions more out there speaking truth.

It says a lot when a 16 year old can outsmart a man child like realDonaldTrump . It also says a lot to have an 80+ year old man child slandering a 16 year old girl on twitter...

GRETA doesn’t give a Rat’s Ass what 45 Says or Thinks about her. Neither shud we!!

Sometimes attacking the messenger is the most effective way to lift up the message itself. This little girl’s message is so big for the highly insecured & voluntarily uninformed. Subjecting her to their hate make the world more aware of climate change.

Do u call this behavior “Projection? Come on, folks, ur talking about a Psychopath!! Trump Named Person of the Year by Popular Sociopath Magazine

humans are so stupid

Wait a minute. Wasn’t everyone howling with appreciation when she glanced very angrily in Trump’s direction at the Useless Nations earlier?

45 is not a man. His intellect is that of a 13 year old boy.

I would say he’s a giant child...but the children are more mature than he.

As if he, who is such a disgrace in the way he acts, all the time, should be commenting on ANYONE else's behavior. Despicable him!

Most insecure thin skinned “man” I’ve ever seen

I heard that as part of her 'Be Best' initiative, Melania Trump called a press conf on the WH lawn to shame her husband for his blatant bullying and online abuse of an innocent 16-year old girl. Jk.

Thank you Mr. President,

How dare he?

What a pathetic 45. Period.

The President should work on his sociopathic problem.

No matter what you think, Greta has more grace in her fingernail than Trump could muster if his life depended on it. Guy in his 70s attacks a 16 year old ... there is something fundamentally wrong with Trump.

realDonaldTrump BeBestIsBS Flotus - what say you?

My guess is that Our President was referring to the orchestrated scene in this video where the exploited child rightfully complains that she should not be up there, while directing her anger away from those who actually put her up there.

Amazing his wife screaming about not mentioning Baron... And now nary a word from her. Hypocrisy at its finest

A man of power demeaning a child is a small man, a weak beta male.

She's so brave haha

Trump is a horrible person, plain and simple. You're not qualified to lead anything if you talk like that. I don't care if you disagree, show a tiny amount of class and grace. Shake your opponent's hand, congratulate her, say you'll meet out there again ... show some humility.

Trump is the best MAGA2020Landslide

The president of the US is arguing with a minor child because he is jealous. And the bigots that elected him think this is acceptable?

Trump's A Chump.

One child attacks another.

It IS ridiculous. For once, I ageee with him.

Trump should work on being a human being and an adult.

But mention his son Barron in passing and out come the president's claws. Deplorable Hypocrite

Waiting for Melania to weigh in on the horrific crime of referring to a child. bebestmyass

Be Best, Donald!

He’s right,with a narrow attitude like hers and a limit vocabulary saying over and over her “future got shit on” I would think the cause could find someone with some better experience and a open mind . It’s only Time they also had Adolf Hitler as man of the year..

realDonaldTrump - is the one who needs Anger-Management! Example:

Hahahahaha Trump. Hahahahahahaha.

trump's projecting again as he always does. He's such a baby. Probably because he's not on Time. He should retire to Siberia with all those others who ignore the law. The repugnicants would be decimated.

Why are you repeating this trash, NPR?

Imagine that. A 16 year old girl who is smarter and more mature than the thing Deplorables decided should be commander in chief. Dumb as fenceposts those deplorables ... especially the female deplorables, current and former military deplorables and deplorables of color.

ICYMI:

he actually said 'Anger Management' problem, which leads me to believe that Greta may be watching the 2003 film starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson too frequently?

Come on NPR. Really? Let's just ignore this kind of base, petty, school girl drama garbage. We all know the man is insecure; it's not news.

And GretaThunberg's reply? Updating her profile to 'A teenager working on her anger management problem...' Who's the real adult? TrumpTheChild TemperTantrumTrump GrowUp Salty

Once again Trump projects what is wrong with him.

BeBest

Well, Donald does know quite a lot about anger. But very little about women

BeBest

I guess he also should have been sent away as a child to work on his anger management. Wait a minute... His parents did send him away. Too bad it didn't stick. SenateGOP SenateDems HouseDemocrats HouseGOP VP FoxNewsSunday MSNBC CNN AP

Trump is so ignorant

I'll take projection for $400 Alex

Wow! Regardless of how one feels about climate change and its politics, it is amazing to see Trump treat Greta Thunberg as if she is some kind of enemy to America along the lines of bin Laden or ISIS....

He’s an idiot.

Says the manbaby fake president who has hate-tweeted over 100 times today because a little girl won an award.

ok the fact he is jealous speaks volumes as to what type of person realDonaldTrump is but then to say anyone needs anger management is laughable.

I just love her🐔

A classic of the 'Down girl' tweet genre.

Ahahaha! Go get ‘em Trump! He just says what many think! This has to be the most entertaining presidency!

A 16-year-old who consistently shows more maturity than the POTUS and a whole bunch of republican congress-critters.

Someone should introduce Greta to alcohol for the inevitable moment she realises the world doesn't work that way.

FFS!!!

POTUS is correct this little BRAT with anger issues is on the cover of a magazine that costs how much in resources to print adding to the climate issues & destroying the trees to print this rubbish on but clearly that is ok because it makes her so popular and suites the narrative

Melania Trump said Karlan “should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.”’ hypocrisy: a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.

Why is this news that needs to be reported by NPR? You have let him hijack the news yet again with some stupid tweet.

Jealous toddler-in-chief strikes again.

She is the Star of the Story. The response is irrelevant, and need not be acknowledged.

realDonaldTrump represents the shadow of America which has stretched out its hands to strangle-hold the climate for the greed of profiteering. He is also probably jealous of a child getting recognition he did not.

Projecting.

Donkey speaking about ears.

flotus “A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics.”

Trump has a good point.

Not surprised Trump dumped on her since she is telling the truth and besting Trump.

He's just salty. Unsurprisingly, the only little girl is Donald.

He always accuses people on things that are his own issues!

Just to be clear, he’s talking about to himself, right

This is exactly why leftists are pushing their agenda through a child. The can parade her around, screaming hyperbole about the climate, capitalism and the patriarchy and deflect criticism of the message behind the shield of childhood. Pathetic tactic.

hopefully she won't visit Trumps therapist, because he doesn't seem to be making any progress?

She does have issues that have been well documented, but her real problems are the adults in her life . They should be ashamed of themselves.

Trump is seething with jealousy

He isn't wrong sheneedsmeds

Keep doing what you are doing, Greta.

Trump is just drawing attention to the climate change hoax and money grab. It's all because of those damn plastic straws. usefulidiots

Greta is on the cover, Donnie is not; so we have a sad little boy.

THE GRETA CULT

Screw trump!

I’m bummed. I was rooting for Baby Yoda as Times Person of the Year.

His ego & jealousy are showing. GretaThunberg is a born leader. 45 is a born hustler. GretaThunbergOutdidTrump ClimateEmergency ClimateChangeIsReal ClimateChange FridaysForFurture

When's the last time a teen was so viscously attacked in the public and media.

My my, how vain our fearless leader is 🙃.
