Melania Defends Trump Attack on Greta Thunberg: Barron 'Is Not an Activist Who Travels the Globe

The press secretary for First Lady Melania Trump released a statement on the recent controversy that came from her husband’s attacking Greta Thunberg after the teenaged climate activist was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year.
Thunberg became an international person of interest this year when she sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to warn about climate change and gave a damning speech to the United Nations. The speech had a bombastic reception as Thunberg warned the U.N. that their member nations aren’t doing enough to protect the environment and that future generations “will never forgive you” if failure to act eventually leads to a calamitous global climate shift.
Trump, who has long taken a far more skeptical approach to climate change, quote-tweeted a congratulatory message to Thunberg from actress Roma Downey (who is likely very surprised to have found herself included in this tete-a-tete). The president called Thunberg’s honor “so ridiculous”, and said the teen has an “Anger Management problem.”
