16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg says meeting with Trump would be a 'waste'

She's absolutely right. If she met with Donald Trump, there's no way it wouldn't be a waste of his time.

The thing is, people don't like being told what to do and how to live their life, especially in a condescending and panic stricken way. And even though the world isn't going to end, there's a lot of people who would rather watch the world burn while eating a cheeseburger than listen and follow a little angry teenager wagging her finger at them. I know I would.

Unfortunately, she's right about Trump. He's a complete waste of time.

16 year old nominated for a Nobel? She should be learning how to

One thing almost no one knows is that, that beautiful yacht of hers has a diesel engine to support the wind energy. Hmm 🤔 I thought she was against fossil fuels.

I’m dying bro, they became vegetarian

now people are literally listening to a kid 🤦🏻‍♂️

[laragio]

When she doesn't have an adult-written script to read, she has nothing new to say.

[joliecide]

The adult reporter asking a child what she should do. Pretty much sums this drama up.

[zschneider]

I love how Greta says that she says talking to trump is a waste of time!

This is an example of “fabricating a scenario that will happen ten minutes past never so you can dismiss it and convince yourself you’ve scored some kind of point”

[davidpar]

What’s a waste is presenting this as a “news story.” She was never offered a meeting, it’s a moot point
