In 2019, teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg was deemed TIME's Person of the Year, a move that prompted the ire of President Donald Trump, who'd criticized the magazine in the past for supposedly snubbing him for the award.

The President proceeded to mock the then-16 year old to his tens of millions of Twitter followers, claiming she had "anger management" issues.


Trump tweeted for Thunberg to "chill!"

The ill-advised tweet came just after pro-Trump figures attacked lawyer Pamela Karlan for saying the name of Trump's youngest son—Barron—while acting as a constitutional witness before the House Judiciary Committee in favor of Trump's first impeachment. Trump's allies accused Karlan of unfairly subjecting a child to national scrutiny. This same courtesy, for Trump, didn't extend to Thunberg.

Just a few months later, Trump again targeted the teenager on his Twitter account, mocking her for voicing concern about the threat posed by the climate crisis.

Now, Trump's presidency is in its final hour. After a months-long smear campaign absurdly claiming Democrats orchestrated widespread election fraud to deliver a false victory to President-elect Joe Biden in the 2020 election, Trump finally acknowledged that a new administration would be taking power.

As expected, Trump bucked the traditional welcome to the White House that most Presidents have extended to their successors. Instead, Trump held a less boisterous version of his infamous rallies before boarding an aircraft headed for his resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Thunberg issued the perfect parting words.

People cackled at the young climate activist using Trump's own sarcasm against him.






Environment-themed jokes were made.



At noon, President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be inaugurated.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
