She had to wait a good year for it, but climate activist Greta Thunberg has finally found the right moment to tell Donald Trump to chill.
It comes after the President (increasingly set to be lame duck president) once told Thunberg to “chill” and to go and watch a movie with a friend.
When Trump tweeted “STOP THE COUNT!” in all capitals, responding to the continued count of legitimate votes in key battleground states including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada and Arizone — Thunberg found her moment.
“So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!” she tweeted.
Thunberg, at 17, was responding to Trump, at 74 years old, in the same way that he responded to her 12 months ago.
Back in December 2019 when Thunberg was named Time’s Person of the Year, Trump tweeted:
“So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned moved with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!
Of course, this wasn’t the first time the teenager gone on up on the President. Last year she changed her bio in response to Trump’s tweet, reading: “A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.”
At the time of publishing, Biden was continuing to make gains in key battleground states and Trump was due to speak, possibly to say something similar to what he’s tweeted: a bunch of lies.
Trump has long taken issue with Thunberg.
Following her impassioned speech at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York earlier this year, Trump sarcastically wrote:
“She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!”
And as Time person of the year — something we know Trump particularly likes to think of himself as, Time editors said of Thunberg last year:
“Thunberg has become the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet—and the avatar of a broader generational shift in our culture that is playing out everywhere from the campuses of Hong Kong to the halls of Congress in Washington.”
