Teenage Environmental Activist On Meeting Trump: ‘Why Should I Waste Time Talking To Him?’

A 16-year-old Swedish climate activist much celebrated by the Left who is about to visit America and attend a U.N. summit said she wouldn’t want to “waste time talking” to President Trump. Regarding a meeting with Trump, Thunberg stated, “Why should I waste time talking to him when he, of course, is not going to listen to me?”

Great Thunberg has been championed by various members of the Left, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). When they spoke over a video link The Guardian gushed, “Ocasio-Cortez speaks with her customary snap and brilliance that, held up against the general waffle of political discourse, seems startlingly direct. Thunberg, meanwhile, is phenomenally articulate, well-informed and self-assured, holding her own in conversation with an elected official nearly twice her age and speaking in deliberate, thoughtful English.” Ocasio-Cortez said, “To hear you articulate the belief that I’ve had as well is so exciting and validating.” Thunberg responded on Twitter that Ocasio-Cortez was “inspiring.”
