Greta? Our greta-st export at the moment?


Greta Thunberg desperately claps back after Donald Trump’s savage criticism

I note, the main news story on this issue is, Trump's peace plan is going forward.

I note, even so, Sky News Australia had to put the title about Greta Thunberg.

I note the comments are about, seeing the featured ones below, 1) Greta's mom, 2) The doom goblin (aka Greta), 3) Greta's life, 4) the lithium battery in her cell phone (and the waters were international, so, an act of piracy occurred while she was throwing it), 5) Greta as a Swedish export, 6) Phones again, 7) Her parents.

Only 8) we have Donald Trump, and the comment "Donald Trump is right" doesn't specify whether the commenter means about Greta or about Gaza.

By contrast, Greta has consistently taken attention she got, and redirected it to Gaza.

The longest speech in the clips in the video was a man gassing on about Greta.

As a Swede whose grandmother was named Greta (mormor, not farmor, if Swedes wonder) and as Pro-Palestinian, I find all the attention given to Greta somewhat flattering to my national pride.
