President Trump got some unsolicited election advice Thursday from teenage environmental activist and progressive darling Greta Thunberg, who used the leader of the free world’s 11-month-old comment telling her to “chill” against him.
Thunberg recalled a December 2019 message from the president that instructed her to “chill” and work on her “anger management” in response to a Thursday tweet from Trump demanding the vote count in several key battleground states be halted.
“So ridiculous,” Thunberg said. “Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!”

Trump is demanding the vote counts in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona be halted until poll watchers can monitor the vote count in the states that will decide the winner of the 2020 election. Allies of Trump have claimed voting irregularities and questioned the length it has taken election officials in the states to process ballots.
Trump alleged vote counting impropriety at a Thursday press conference in a number of states before being censored by MSNBC and CNBC, which each labeled the claims in his speech as “untrue.”
Trump and Thunberg have participated in a long-running feud waged across social media and famously in person during a now-viral clip that showed the teenager staring down Trump as he entered a 2019 United Nations meeting in New York.
