President Trump is being heavily criticized for appearing to attack a minor in his latest outspoken tweet. After 16 year old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was named TIME Magazine's Person of the Year, President Trump tweeted out how ridiculous of a pick he finds that. The President went on to say that "Greta must work on her Anger Management problem." This latest tweet of the President's comes just a week after Professor Pamela Karlan dragged minor, Barron Trump into the public eye during the impeachment hearings, in which she used him to make a dig at the President. FLOTUS Melania was less than amused by that saying "a minor deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics".
With that being said, some are saying POTUS Trump is being a hypocrite here, saying when it comes to my child, keep him out of politics but anyone else is fair game. The other side of the argument is that 16 year old Greta is already in the public eye and on the global stage so despite her age, she is fair game.
What do you make of this? Is Greta Thunberg fair game for President Trump to take aim with? Or is his tweet inappropriate and unwarranted?
Tom Shattuck, Cosmo Macero, and VB discuss whether this was appropriate by President Trump and whether each of them liked the tweet or not...
