Ilwoman Omar isn’t comfortable with American values. In Somalia she can be her true self, a pirate.

TRUMP ATTACKS GRETA THUNBERG AT DAVOS, THEN CLAIMS HE DOESN’T “KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER” The president of the United States has continued his feud with a child. BY BESS LEVIN JANUARY 21, 2020 BY ALEX WONG/GETTY IMAGES. When we last checked in on Donald Trump’s ongoing feud with a child, he was ranting about the fact that Time magazine had named Swedish activist Greta Thunberg its person of the year. “So ridiculous,” he fumed last month on Twitter. “Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!” Previously, he’d taken to his account to ridicule Thunberg for chiding world leaders on their inaction on climate change, mocking her impassioned speech about “mass extinction” and “empty words” by tweeting, “She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!” After his last polemic on the minor 57 years his junior—which first lady and anti-bullying crusader Melania Trump suggested was warranted—we assumed the president would move on to other matters, like running the country, lying about imminent attacks on Americans, and mounting his extremely flimsy defense against impeachment. In retrospect, though, that was a ridiculous assumption re: his priorities, which of course include continuing to publicly ridicule a child. In a prepared speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump took the opportunity to take a swipe at Thunberg—who was in the audience— deriding “perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse” about the environment. “They are the errors of yesterday’s fortune-tellers,” Trump claimed, “and we have them and I have them and they want to see us do badly, but we don’t let that happen,” adding that in order to “embrace the possibilities of tomorrow,” we must reject the warnings of such individuals. For those of you keeping up at home, that’s two outright attacks on Thunberg by name via Twitter and one veiled swipe at her in person. So, obviously: President Trump said on Tuesday said he didn’t know anything about Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg but called her “very angry” in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. “I don’t really know anything about her,” Trump said of Thunberg when asked about her on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Claiming not to know someone despite reams of documented evidence to the contrary is, of course, the president’s thing. Earlier this month, he claimed not to know Lev Parnas, a man he allegedly tasked with working on the scheme to pressure Ukraine into digging up dirt on Joe Biden, according to CNN, and with whom he’s been photographed on numerous occasions. Previously, he’s also denied knowing E.U. Ambassador Gordon Sondland, top U.S. diplomat to Ukraine Bill Taylor, former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, among others. So Thunberg is in good company. If you would like to receive the Levin Report in your inbox daily, click here to subscribe.
