Internet POTUS Bully Attacks Teenager on Autism Spectrum

WTF? Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, took some time out of his day to attack a 16-year-old girl who warns about climate change. He's angrily jealous because that girl was on the cover of Time Magazine instead of Trump.

So, does DOTARDUS Donwald not have enough self-confidence to let a young woman who wants to save the world speak out against a looming disaster? Is his ego that freaking fragile?

You chill, Donwald! Leave her alone. She's doing something important. You're just being a bully. How pitiful that is!

... after all he's not extorting strategic allies to come up with fabricated dirt on her to the detriment of our own national security interests... that we know of.

He is attacking a child. That, in itself is horrible enough. The only thing that is more disturbing about this behavior is that his cult followers all think that this is not only acceptable, but something to be cheered. Holy crap, we are so fucked.

Trump is a weakling. He doesn't have enough self-esteem to recognize that he will not always be the cover art on Time Magazine. So, he publicly mocks the person who is on the cover. That is a true sign of a simpering bully.

Donald J. Trump - Beaten by a teenaged girl. Bitter tears are being shed in the West Wing today.

from rump. But Greta richly deserved the award this time around and rump is showing to everyone clearly why he didn't receive the award from Time Magazine.

I'm surprised that Time Magazine doesn't come out w/ the 'worse person of the year' (and put the worse of his poses on the cover).

Today, Trump looks like a whimpering little bully who has lost the fight. And he was beaten like a drum by a little girl. How can he go on?

when he attacks a teenage girl working to save the planet. You would think she would want a better planet for her son going into the future.
