This is not the first time Greta has responded to something via her Twitter username or bio. She has taken digs in the past by changing her Twitter bio to things famous people have said to criticise her. Just last year when the whole US President Donald Trump fiasco happened with Greta when he tweeted out: "Greta must work on her anger management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill, Greta, Chill!", she edited her bio to say she was "a teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend".
