Donald Trump Jr. blasted Time on Twitter for choosing teen climate activist Greta Thunberg as Person of the Year.
Trump Jr. suggested the pro-democracy protesters who have rocked Hong Kong should have been given the title instead.
"Time leaves out the Hong Kong Protesters fighting for their lives and freedoms to push a teen being used as a marketing gimmick," he tweeted. "How dare you?"
The comment, "How dare you?" is seemingly another jab at Thunberg. The teen famously asked world leaders that same question during an emotional speech at the United Nations in New York City in September.
Edward Felsenthal, Time's editor-in-chief, described Thunberg, who is the youngest person to be named Person of the Year, as the "biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet," The Hill reported.
While Trump Jr. has criticized the magazine's choice, other notable political figures and celebrities have praised the pick and the 16-year-old's work.
Sen. Cory Booker was among the 2020 candidates to congratulate Thunberg. Hillary Clinton tweeted that she "couldn't think of a better" choice.
"I am grateful for all she's done to raise awareness of the climate crisis and her willingness to tell hard, motivating truths," Clinton said.

Pimping a kid isn’t going to help their sales.
you forgot the sarcasm tag...
The times.. this tells who they are.... and it isn’t with the people. These crazies are few in number and very annoying... they are weak, lost, taking the first dumb thing they can pin a cause on... and act like this girl acts... strange and undignified... they never “grow up”.
And one day they will manage to get the power they seek.
What commie propaganda does in the best economy this country has ever seen.
If the energy signature for traveling by yacht or sailboat was smaller, it would be the cheapest most common way to travel.
I don't think so. The last five presidential election years the winner has been Time's Man of the Year. I expect that to continue into 2020.
The comments looked to be running about 100 in support of the girl to 2 or 3 opposing.
Daily Mail then disabled comments.
Huh, puzzling.
Really if they wanted to go for a teen, ConservaTeen with his businesses (pool and lawn mowing) could be better, but he isn't a liberal...
.....Trump Jr. suggested the pro-democracy protesters who have rocked Hong Kong should have been given the title instead.....
HE’S RIGHT!!!!
Greta is an exploited and trafficked teenager!!!! Most kids in that category are exploited for sex. Greta, however is exploited for propaganda!!!! And that propaganda is directed at all of us!!!! PHOOEY!!!!
Trump will never be on the cover of Time until he is dead. The selection of Ms G ranks up there with Obamas award and Al Gore’s Slide Show. A lot of smoke and mirrors.
He was Man of the Year in 2016 and I expect Trump to be Man of the Year again in 2020 when he wins re-election.
I’ve seen a few libs praise the choice, simply on the grounds that it will annoy Trump, not based on merit.
I’m surprised that Time is still in business.
That was great...
If Time was running by Luce, I’d say Trump would be, but Time is so left wing, Person of the year is only Commies...
Are we absolutely sure she is female?
She’s a freak and a tool, and all her oars aren’t in the water.
Greta Turdberg...she looks like a 12 year old male who takes hormones blockers...
