What's depressing about Trump's attack on Thunberg

By Karen Tumulty / The Washington Post

Is there nothing too petty for this president?

Early Thursday morning, President Trump took to Twitter (where his current follower count is 67.5 million) to attack a 16-year-old girl with Asperger’s syndrome and tell her to “work on her Anger Management problem.”

As always with Trump, when he accuses someone else of something, we get a window into what he himself is feeling. So it’s fair to ask: What did Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg do to make the projectionist-in-chief so hopping mad?

The answer: She was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year.

That little Donny may have been that kid that took immense pleasure in pulling the wings off of flies and burning ants on their mounds with the Sun through a magnifying glass. You can just see the little tyrant throwing puppies and kittens against a brick wall just to see them suffer and laughing at it with gusto.

I mean, it's just an impression. I am not saying he really did. But it was aliens.

His terrified, pathetic comrades are not going to say shit, even when their mouths are full of it and its coming out their ears.

This issue especially...there is literally NO MORE TIME TO WASTE...this is a massive waste of time though. God I hate him...
