I was in disbelief. I googled and fact-checked. This really happened.
When Trump was passed over for Time Magazine’s 2019 Person of the Year in favor of Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old Swedish student who has risen to international fame for her powerful climate activism, his campaign eventually edited Trump’s head on Greta’s body on a fake cover of Time Magazine, framed in a Trump campaign text message.
I have two questions:
- What adult can possibly be jealous of a 16-year-old girl reaching the pinnacle of the media world by promoting a powerful message of world-impact?
- What President of the United States would possibly feel good about actually attacking a 16-year-old activist on social media because he was jealous of her?
Why doesn’t Trump invite the girl to the White House, congratulate her on her success, get to know her, and ask her questions about how he could help her with her mission? That is what any president in the history of our country would have done.
Until Trump.
2 answers that have as much conjecture as your questions, you infer knowledge of a persons emotion state that you have never met. Simply put she has NO understanding of a complex concept as planetary ecosystems, 16 year olds are children for a reason (not developed). Anyone who go on international television scolding everyone deserves to have harshest treatment, don’t like it quit listening Grown Ups are present. I’m also reporting your post to the proper authorities due to the infatuation of minor children.
16 year olds are perfectly capable of reading and understanding the facts that scientists have stated about climate change. Regardless of whether you believe in climate change or not, a 16 year old girl DOES NOT deserve to be bullied by any adult, let alone the President of the United States. Our President has an insane amount of power and he is using that power to belittle her in front of the world. She is simply standing up for what she believes in, exercising her freedom of speech and doing a hell of a good job at creating a movement. Why does she deserve to have the “harshest treatment” for that!? I don’t understand what she is doing wrong and why Trump and his followers hate her so much. Please enlighten me…
Until Trump! What a mouthful.
