US, (rt.com/Daily Mail), 12 Dec, 2019 -  President Donald Trump lashed out at 16-year-old global warming activist Greta Thunberg on Thursday and told her to ‘chill,’ as he called her Time magazine ‘Person of the Year’ award ‘ridiculous.’   


“So ridiculous,” Trump tweeted on Thursday while commenting on a tweet by actress and producer Roma Downey, in which she congratulated Thunberg on topping the TIME list of most influential people for 2019.  


“Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”  


Trump and Thunberg briefly crossed paths on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York in September, where both of them delivered impassioned speeches. They did not speak to each other but the teenage activist was spotted giving Trump a now-iconic cold glare, which quickly spurred a plethora of memes online.
