Currently chilling and watching a good old-fashioned movie with a friend,” she wrote.The pair also clashed in September last year, when Mr Trump retweeted a clip of the teenager’s speech to a United Nations climate summit in which she angrily denounced world leaders for failing to take action on climate change and asked them, “How dare you?”Mr Trump joked that she seemed like a “very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see”.Ms Thunberg changed her Twitter biography following that comment, again joking she was: “A very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.”media_cameraGreta Thunberg stares down the US President as he enters the United Nations summit in New York on September 23, 2019.Ms Thunberg also said in December she wouldn’t have wasted her time speaking to the US President after they crossed paths at a UN climate change summit in New York.“Honestly, I don’t think I would have said anything,” Ms Thunberg told BBC Radio 4.“Because obviously he’s not listening to scientists and experts, so why would he listen to me?“So I probably wouldn’t have said anything, I wouldn’t have wasted my time.”Originally published as Greta’s brutal Donald Trump troll
