View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Nana] Greta Thunberg, a 17-year-old Swedish youth environmental activist, delivered a sharp rebuke to U.S. President Donald Trump, who hinted at rejecting the presidential election results.
On the night of the 5th (local time), Thunberg shared President Trump's statement "STOP THE COUNT!" on her Twitter and sarcastically said, "Calm down. Donald, calm down!"
She continued, "It's really funny. Donald needs to work on his anger management issues. And go watch a good classic movie with a friend!"
This phrase was a direct comeback, changing only the subject from a mocking remark Trump made targeting Thunberg last year.
At the end of 2019, when Thunberg was named Time magazine's Person of the Year, President Trump tweeted on December 12, "(Time's choice) is really funny. Greta needs to work on her anger management issues. Go watch a good old movie with a friend. Calm down, Greta, calm down!" mocking her.
At that time, Thunberg cleverly responded by writing in her Twitter bio, "A teenager struggling with anger management issues. Currently calming down and watching a good old movie with a friend."
Earlier, Thunberg also posted urging people to vote for Democratic candidate former Vice President Joe Biden in the U.S. presidential election.
Last month, she tweeted, "I never get involved in party politics, but the upcoming U.S. election is more than just an election. From a climate perspective, (no U.S. presidential candidate) is enough," adding, "But, I mean, damn it, just to sum it up, everyone should vote for Biden."
