STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg responded to Donald Trump on Twitter late on Thursday saying the US president should “relax” on the election, a response to her tweet last year in which he mocked of the teenager for what he called her anger management issues. .

Commenting on Trump tweeting “STOP THE COUNT!” On Thursday, as the US election race was about to end, Thunberg, 17, tweeted: “How ridiculous. Donald should work on his anger management problem and then go see a good old-fashioned movie! with a friend! Donald, relax! “

The tweet has received 1.2 million likes so far and has been retweeted 266,000 times.

Trump took to Twitter in December of last year after Thunberg was named Time’s Person of the Year in 2019, mocking the 17-year-old in exactly the same way for her passionate pleas for governments to act to stop global warming. .

“How ridiculous. Greta should work on her Anger Management problem, and then go see a good old-fashioned movie with a friend! Take it easy, Greta!” Trump wrote, commenting on a tweet by someone else congratulating Thunberg on the Time award.

Thunberg responded at the time by updating her Twitter bio to include: “A teenage girl working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling out and watching a good old-fashioned movie with a friend.”

With his re-election chances dwindling as more votes are counted in a handful of battle states, US President Donald Trump launched an extraordinary attack on the country’s democratic process from the White House on Thursday, falsely claiming that the elections were “robbing” him. .
