Climate activist Greta Thunberg used her Twitter profile to make fun of President Trump after he suggested she work on her anger management in a tweet on Thursday morning.
Trump, 73, ripped Thunberg, 16, in a tweet Thursday morning, one day after she edged him out to become Time’s “Person of the Year.” The president tweeted, “So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”

In response, Thunberg changed her Twitter bio to say that she’s a “teenager working on her anger management. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.” Several people noticed her subtle jab at the president and celebrated it on Twitter.

This is not the first time Thunberg has used her Twitter bio to mock her critics. She recently changed her bio to “pirralha,” the Portuguese word for “brat” after Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro called her one last week. She also did the same to Trump when he said she seemed like a “happy young girl” after her dramatic speech before the United Nations.
Thunberg has captured the globe’s attention with her climate change school strikes, earning the adoration of climate activists by skipping school to protest outside government buildings in her home country of Sweden.
