US President Donald Trump has been furiously and hysterically tweeting about various states' ballot-counting processes. He's argued that votes still being counted in vital battleground states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania should be dismissed. However, HuffPost reports he's been dished out the same condescending advice from the same young environmentalist he gave it to. Greta Thunberg tweeted that Trump should 'chill,' 'work on his Anger Management problem' and watch a 'good old fashioned movie with a friend. Trump originally used the 'anger management' line against Thunberg in December 2019 after the teen was named Time’s Person of the Year.
Teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg had strong words for Amy Coney Barrett. Amy Coney Barrett has a fairly noncommittal stance on climate change. The Supreme Court nominee expressed it during her confirmation hearing earlier this week. “To be fair, I don’t have any ‘views on climate change’ either,” Thunberg wrote on Twitter. “Just like I don’t have any ‘views’ on gravity, the fact that the earth is round, photosynthesis nor evolution ... But understanding and knowing their existence really makes life in the 21st century so much easier.” Thunberg Thunberg rose to fame for taking a stance against climate change at a very young age.
