After Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg was selected to be Time’s Person of the Year for 2019, Trump responded over Twitter:
Trump’s campaign team also tweeted a manipulated image of the Time cover, placing his head on Thunberg’s body.
Thunberg didn’t reply directly, but updated her Twitter bio to read, “A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.”
The same campaign Twitter account also depicted Trump as Marvel super-villain Thanos, while Trump has displayed fake covers of Time featuring himself at his golf clubs.
