Trump Official Takes a Swipe at Teen Climate Activist Greta Thunberg Over Her Comments on Economy
Mnuchin’s comments come two days after Trump, 73, gave a speech at the forum in which he dismissed Thunberg and her work in all but name, while the teenager was reportedly in attendance.
Without naming Thunberg directly, Trump rallied against “these alarmists [who] always demand the same thing — absolute power to dominate, transform and control every aspect of our lives” and called climate activists “heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortune tellers.”Trump has made no secret of his disdain for Thunberg, angrily responding to TIME’s decision in December to name the Swedish teen their “Person of the Year.
“So ridiculous,” he wrote on Twitter. “Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”Drew Angerer/Getty Thunberg clapped back, subtly, with a change to her Twitter bio: “A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.”She responded the same way back in September when Trump tweeted that she “seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.”“This is not about right or left,” she said at the World Economic Forum on Tuesday. “We couldn’t care less about your party politics.
