They say, revenge is a dish served cold. Greta Thunberg, the teenage environmental activist mocked by Donald Trump in a tweet When she was named Time Magazine’s person of the year, she waited exactly 11 months before she came up with the perfect answer.
In his December 2019 insult, Trump told 17-year-old Thunberg to work on his “anger management problem” and to “go to an old-fashioned movie with a friend.”
“Easy Greta, relax!” the president implored in the tweet, which began with him calling his Time award “so ridiculous.”
On Thursday afternoon, with Trump furious on Twitter in capital letters and hurling unfounded allegations of voter fraud even as his lead on Election Day in Pennsylvania and other states continued to erode, Thunberg returned his words directly.
“So ridiculous,” Thunberg tweeted in response to the previous “STOP THE COUNT!” Trump rant.
“Donald has to work on his anger management problem and then go see a good old-fashioned movie with a friend! Calm down, Donald! “

(@GretaThunberg)So ridiculous. Donald must work on his anger management problem and then go see a good old-fashioned movie with a friend. Take it easy, Donald! https://t.co/4RNVBqRYBA
Within two hours of posting it, the tweet had amassed more than 452,000 likes, double the total of Trump’s original post.
Thunberg has proven to be something of a nemesis for the president who denies the climate crisis, the original Twitter exchange coming just two months after the pair crossed paths at the United Nations in New York. Trump skipped the climate summit in which Thunberg told world leaders, “They are failing us,” but she glared at Trump in a hallway as she headed to another event on religious freedom.
This week added shock to Thunberg due to the formal exit from the Paris climate agreement by the United States on Wednesday. In October, Thunberg backed Trump’s election rival Joe Biden, who pledged to return the United States to the global compact on his first day in office.
