Greta Thunberg looking with complete contempt at a strutting Donald Trump. I'm reminded of that famous image of the student standing in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square.#HowDareYou pic.twitter.com/RMM4dJYhvB

 “This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here,” said 16-year-old Thunberg during her emotional speech. “I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you have come to us young people for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.”

After the speech, Trump took to Twitter to mock Thunberg, writing: “She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!”
