CNN's Editor-At-Large: We should all be appalled by Donald Trump's tweet about Greta Thunberg
CNN ^ | 12/13/2019 | by Chris Cillizza

Posted on 12/13/2019 7:41:15 AM PST by SeekAndFind

On Thursday morning, the President of the United States sent a tweet to his 60+ million followers blasting a 16-year-old girl with Asperger's syndrome who has rallied efforts at fighting climate change around the globe.

"Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend!" Trump wrote of teenage climate crisis activist Greta Thunberg. "Chill Greta, Chill!"

This isn't the first time Trump has gone after Thunberg. "She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future," Trump sarcastically tweeted following Thunberg's speech in front of the United Nations General Assembly earlier this fall. "So nice to see!"

Sadly, Trump's response is predictable in the wake of the Swedish climate activist being named as Time's Person of the Year over him. Trump is a bully. And he has shown time and again that he has no qualms about bullying anyone and everyone. Let's not forget that he poked fun at Carly Fiorina's looks when she was competing with him for the Republican nomination during the 2016 campaign. And in that same campaign, Trump mocked a New York Times reporter by crudely mimicking his physical disability. So that the president of the United States would tell a 16-year-old with Asperger's -- a condition most distinguished by difficulty with social interactions -- to make some friends and, basically, relax, fits nicely into that pattern of behavior.

Thunberg responded by changing her Twitter bio to mock the President's words, referring to herself as: "A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend." Thunberg has been open about her neurological difference, acknowledging both the struggles she's had and calling it a "superpower" when it comes to her activism.

Why? She chose to put herself out there and get involved in political matters.

Child or not, she’s fair game. She can stand there and lecture us but we can’t respond?

I truly am appalled. How dare our president joke about something as serious as this? He should have ordered the crazy child and her parents permanently barred from entering the US!

I’ve never been “appalled” before. What do you do? Put on a pink hat and start spitting and foaming at the mouth? I need some help here.

We should all be appalled by Donald Trump’s tweet about Greta Thunberg>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Donald Trump spoke the truth, and he did so with humor.

We have all seen photos published by the very same MSM that lauds her,of Thunberg who looked so angry that she could be a double for the demon possessed girl in William Peter Blatty’s film. “the Exorcist.”

Donald Trump struck a nerve, and he was right. And the MSM is wrong about Thunberg, as the President pointed out.This is a great defense of the lauding of a teenage psychopomp whose created fame is designed to fan the emotion of the People into a Liberal Fascist State where socialists surveillance and control rule our lives in the minutest detail using “climate change’ as an excuse. That’s what Thunberg truly represents , and this is what the President defends us from.

lasting wisdom rareky falls from the mouths oof babes. No Joan of Arc is Thunberg, she is merely a Joan of Bark.Thank you President Trump for pulling this dogs teeth. Instead of “bark, bark,” from Thunberg, it will be a hilarious no teeth “Marf Marf” And we will laugh at her further, not to be taken seriously at all.

Thank you President Trump.

Some nitwit asked if it was harder to support the president during the impeachment proceedings because of this tweet. Response was long and too cushy - he should have been snarky and said, you know, you're right, he should be impeached for his tweet, the humanity!.
For f@#ks sake! I really hate these people!

I’m appalled. At the adults who used this child as a prop.

WE should be appalled that the planet is paying attention to the rantings of a 16-year-old communist.

“She chose to put herself out there and get involved in political matters.”

And she was glorying in the attention. (And her parents should be charged with abuse of a mentally challenged child.)

Greta Thunberg is a horror child and her death would bring a smile to my face.

The PARTY OF HATE AND EVIL rules half of America.

It is the party of every EVIL from slavery, lynching, and the ku klux klan to infanticide, voter fraud, illegal immigration, coup d'état, and "impeachment."

It has nothing to offer but HATE--vicious, rabid, psychotic HATE for President Trump, who dares to shine the Light of Truth on them and their EVIL and HATE, HATE for the USA, HATE for everything that is decent, HATE of TRUTH, HATE of LOVE, HATE of God Himself, HATE for anyone and anything that challenges its grip on power, and raw, unfocused, free-floating HATE!

Of course children growing up in such an atmosphere will be affected by it.

Pray that the American People disempower the DEMOCRAT PARTY: THE PARTY OF HATE AND EVIL, destroy it once and for all, and junk it permanently in the garbage dump of history where it belongs.

Sorry, you inject yourself into scolding everyone from the podium at the UN, you get the full public figure treatment. You want to be a sheltered kid, stay home. You want the big stage, you get the big response. You can’t get both, it just can’t work that way.

She is a pimple on the ass of time, a know nothing puppet with a stick up her ass.

She needs to go back to her soon to be muslim home country and contemplate her fate at the hands of the spawn of goat humpers.

...but not the sham “impeachment,” the bogus “Steele dossier,” the fraudulent applications to the FISA court, and the 3-year-long attempt, by the Party of Hate and Evil, to steal the votes of the Americans who elected Donald Trump to the Presidency???

Aren’t they already appalled daily anyway? When do they give us a break from telling us how horrible our president is, and how appalled they all are?

That alone should tell you that they’re partisans, and they should never be taken as anything but partisans, not ‘news people’. They’re the polar opposite of ‘news people’.
