She seems very happy: Trump's jibe at Thunberg

September 24, 2019 12:18

US President Donald Trump appears to have taken a swipe at the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, tweeting a video of the visibly emotional 16-year-old, saying sarcastically that she seems to be "very happy" and looking forward to a bright future.

"She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see! tweeted the US president late on Monday night.

In the stinging speech on Monday at the United Nations Climate Action Summit, Thunberg said, "You are still not mature enough to tell it like it is. You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal.

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words," she said.

She briefly crossed paths with Trump at the United Nations yesterday, as he arrived to attend a meeting on religious freedom. The US president choose to forgo the UN climate summit, held on the same day. The look as he walks past her (and to be fair he did not see her) is a meme in the making.
