And Still Gets Praised!
Trump didn’t even acknowledge Greta. He blew past her as though she was invisible.
This GIF is so symbolic of so many things — the greed, power, avarice and narcissism which may deny an entire generation an existence, as well as the righteous anger from below. https://t.co/u8zQD1hzoL

Attacking the responsible authorities, Greta said, "My message is that we'll be watching you. I shouldn't be here. I should have been back at school, on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you?" Over the past two years, Greta has become quite popular for her efforts in addressing climate change. She had started by handing out leaflets outside the Swedish Parliament. Her efforts prompted children around the world her age to conduct protests demanding a better future.
