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.

Go away.
Do we need Chris Cillizza’s crap here?
The young lady belongs in school....not floating around on some very expensive yacht that used her for advertising. She influenced no one. Gatherings of her sort are mere propaganda.
Oh lighten up!
To quote my favorite democrat president: if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
This isn’t the first time Trump has gone after Thunberg.
What crap he did not “go after” her.
They can be appalled, I’m applauding!!
What we should be appalled about is the attention that’s been given to a self-righteous, spoiled brat. The Media has turned to pure propaganda for their causes without a shred of objectivity.
ya ya blah blah
We should all be appalled that there are advertisers, and watcher, still stupid enough to use CNN.
I read that POTUS Trump was replying to another Tweet with his comments, not just Posting a new one.
I assume it was in reaction to somebody highlighting Greta’s emotional state and anger issues.
Can someone clarify this?
They chose her for this reason....she's a human shield for the Left.
I was hoping someone posted this.
My wife sent it to me yesterday. I posted it on my FB page.
Leftists have a long history of puppetizing children to spew their nonsense. It’s a cowardly tactic to avoid any real debate about an issue.
What kind of parents, editors, producers, ideological handlers or UN officials would thrust a vulnerable, panicking child, with Asperger syndrome, no less, into a complex & contentious debate? I have great sympathy for Greta. Powerful, manipulative adults have stolen her childhood.
In a just world, she would be sailing her high-tech, multimillion-dollar, ocean-racing yacht and crew to the United Nations to thank the United States for helping to create this uniquely wonderful circumstance. In a just world, Greta would be in school with her friends and teachers.
