    Greta is a literal sock puppet. Time is doing the same thing Greta's handlers are doing. It's all virtue signalling and propaganda, and it's pathetic.

    Well, on the left, they "Hear tings" and then interpret them in ways only an artist could do!

    She's a rich kid that has been used by her parents and their friends that run the marketing firm which pimps the child out.

    Correct. As such, we can throw out the narrative that Trump is somehow insecure about someone else winning Person of the Year.

    Thanks for the agreement.

    No we can’t throw out that narrative. His ego is clearly so fragile that he craves recognition, attention and validation.
    Someone who didn’t care wouldn’t say anything. He obviously cares about this.

    What a pathetic weak little bully he is.

    How come the thread title does not match article title?

    This is nothing but a flame bait thread.

    Apparently Time's target demographic isn't even their own readers...

    Well, he surely shouldn't be getting into a twitter rant with a 16 year old girl. Seriously, I wish one of his aids would one day just go Von Miller, strip sack on that phone of his and smack it to the floor!

    Trump gets more upset over a 16 year old getting something he can't, then he ever got over white nationalists chanting "blood and soil, jews will not replace us"

    That's your opinion. I just view him as dumb, rich jock who does what he wants and doesn't care what anyone else says about how he behaves. He's the President; he's a billionaire; already won all of the accolades Greta has won, and then some.

    But sure, I guess your explanation sounds more profound.

    I think that nails it pretty good (I dunno about 'dumb', thats a complicated debate), and I think best explains why those whose primary tactic to political motivation involves shaming hate so much the President that doesn't care what anyone else says about how he behaves.

    She reminds me of the chick from the Exorcist movie. I expect her head to spin around at any minute.

    Think of it: The person of the year is speaking out on climate change. She has only been on this earth a little under 2 decades and she wants to tell everybody else how to live.....really? She needs to sit down, shut up and get some more years under her belt before lecturing people on anything.

    Isn't that the point of making a child the spokesperson? If you criticize her, that makes you an evil monster. Trumps comments were in bad taste and will only help the other side. Too bad neither side gives a damn about the environment or our health.

    If you can't handle criticism don't put yourself on the world stage or, in this case, push your kids onto the world stage. Simples!

    "Donald J. Trump, a Pie in the Face from God."

    The only accurate thing I've ever seen OP post. So tell us OP, is it lemon meringue? coconut? apple? Will it be the same flavor next year? Mmmmhmmm, bet it's tasty.

    To the topic, King Troll of the World does again what he does best, cause LW tears then draw power from them without alienating any of his support in the process.

    You know what's going to be the -best-? After 8 years as POTUS, he's going to retire into his own Fox News Op-ed show, which will have an audience greater than all cable news networks combined. THAT'S when the real pie will be served.

    Her silence on earths biggest polluters is evidence it's a pure, political agenda.
