Climate activist Greta Thunberg has changed her Twitter bio to mock US President Donald Trump’s outrage at her winning Time Person of the Year 2019.
He said she had an “anger management problem” and should go to “a good old fashioned movie with a friend”.
“Chill Greta, Chill!” he added.
She then adapted her Twitter bio to say she was “a teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend”.
The Swedish 16-year-old was named as Time magazine’s Person of the Year on Wednesday after leading a global movement against climate change.
So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill! https://t.co/M8ZtS8okzE

This is not the first time she has changed her Twitter bio to reflect Mr Trump and other leaders’ criticism of her.
On Tuesday Ms Thunberg changed her bio to “pirralha” – the Portuguese word for brat – after Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro criticised her highlighting the plight of Brazil’s indigenous people.
“Greta’s been saying Indians have died because they were defending the Amazon,” Mr Bolsonaro told reporters. “It’s amazing how much space the press gives this kind of pirralha.”
In October she changed the bio to “a kind but poorly informed teenager”. This was exactly how Russian President Vladimir Putin had described her at a conference in Moscow.
In September President Trump posted a video of her speaking emotionally at the UN conference and sarcastically commented: “She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.”
She changed her bio accordingly: “A very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future”.
![Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities. The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault. The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service. Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said. The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force. The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas. Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her. Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes. On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said. “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.](https://chronicle.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ezgif-6-4730550ede-450x300.jpg "Odiong: US-based Nigerian Catholic priest convicted over sexual assault")
