Biden slams Trump for criticizing Greta Thunberg: ‘What kind of president bullies a teenager?’

Former Vice President Joe Biden slammed President Trump for criticizing teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, saying, “What kind of president bullies a teenager?”

Biden said Trump could learn from the 16-year-old, who was named Time’s “Person of the Year,” after the president targeted her in a tweet.

“What kind of president bullies a teenager?” the presidential candidate wrote. “@realDonaldTrump, you could learn a few things from Greta on what it means to be a leader.”

Biden’s tweet came in response to a post from the president telling Thunberg to work on her “Anger Management problem” and to “Chill.” 

So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill! https://t.co/M8ZtS8okzE

Thunberg updated her Twitter bio in response to Trump’s remarks, now describing herself as a “teen working on anger management.” The president’s campaign also edited his photo to replace Thunberg on the magazine cover and tweeted it Thursday.

First lady Melania Trump’s “Be Best” campaign designed to stop cyberbullying started trending after the president tweeted about Thunberg.
