Greta Thunberg Masterfully Trolled Donald Trump In Response to His Tweet Mocking Her U.N. Speech

A pathetic display.

Since her arrival on the world stage, 16 year-old Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg has faced derision. Mocking criticism has been aimed at Thunberg's appearance, mannerisms, facial expressions, speech patterns, intelligence, mental health and her self-disclosed Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis with the majority coming from conservative men.

On Monday, in a late-night tweet, President Donald Trump decided to similarly weigh in on Thunberg. In an example of the cyber bullying First Lady Melania Trump's Be Best campaign is supposed to address, the 73 year-old President of the United States shared video of an impassioned speech Thunberg delivered at the U.N. calling out world leaders' inaction on the climate with the caption:


"She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!"

Alone it sounds like a nice sentiment, but paired with the video of a visibly upset Thunberg the intent to mock is clear.

But it was Greta herself who got the last laugh with a subtle dig at the President's tweet contained in her updated Twitter bio:

"A very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future."

And people were so here for it.

As for Trump's initial attempt at humor, the Good God Above thought Trump should look in a mirror before criticizing others' attitudes.

While others commented on the lowered expectations Trump instilled for the POTUS.

Others asked why so many adult men are so upset about Greta Thunberg.

Some thought petty jealousy might be a factor for at least one older man attacking Thunberg.

Many had responses directed at the President.

The President was not the only Trump to face backlash over conservative cyberbullying of Thunberg.

The FLOTUS' pet project made many of the mentions of her husband mocking Thunberg.

Unlike many of the adults attacking her, Thunberg has handled their insults and false accusations with grace.

The President nor First Lady has responded to the backlash created by Trump's Twitter attack on Thunberg.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
