Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.” This week, she changed her Twitter bio to: “A teenager working on her anger management problem. So nice to see!”īoth times Trump has tweeted about her, Thunberg’s responses have been jocular, and sarcastic in kind. Like the majority of girls growing up in the digital age, she has been cyberbullied before – by Trump himself, who, after her celebrated speech before the UN General Assembly, sarcastically tweeted, “She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. “Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend!” Trump tweeted on Thursday. And so he did what he always seems to do, on Twitter, when he’s upset: he lashed out by accusing the person upsetting him of the very things he’s feeling, or is guilty of. In the last couple of weeks, while Trump was seemingly mocked by his peers at the Nato summit in London, and impeachment hearings against him began, Thunberg was named Time’s person of the year, an honor Trump reportedly wanted. She’s too occupied by giving speeches at places like the UN – where Trump was laughed at, when he gave a speech in 2018, and Thunberg was met with respect, despite slamming the entire body for “misleading” the public with inadequate emission-reduction pledges. She’s too busy trying to get world leaders like him to do something about the climate crisis. She isn’t trying to be a contestant in one of his beauty pageants. She doesn’t fit into any of his ideas of how girls are supposed to act. Thunberg seems to be really making Trump upset, without meaning to. Only 15% of girls said they would vote for him if they could.Īnd now Trump has a new target for his bullying: Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old environmental activist. In a New York Times poll in the run-up to the election, nearly half of girls aged 14 to 17 said that Trump’s comments about women affected the way they think about their bodies. They were upset because Donald Trump was a bully, a cyberbully, and he bullied girls and young women like them – women like the former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, who revealed that, when she was 19, he called her “Miss Piggy,” a dig at her weight. Girls across the country were upset when Trump was elected, but not simply on partisan grounds.
