Donald Trump was recognized as Time Magazine's "Person of the Year" back in 2016 after he shocked most Americans by winning the presidency - kinda, sorta. Trump went on to claim his fluke electoral college victory as one of the most decisive presidential elections in history, a blatant lie that signaled the width and breadth of bullshit that would be flowing from "his" White House for the next four years.
Ever since receiving that honor from Time, Trump had openly pined for a repeat of the award. Franklin D. Roosevelt managed to win it three times, and old Joe Stalin bagged it twice. Surely someone as great as Trump ought to be good for multiple wins. Even his arch-nemesis Barack Obama had won the award twice - and Obama had even managed to win the Nobel Peace Prize!
The unfairness of it all!
Donald Trump wanted to be "Time's Person of the Year" for 2019 so that he could have bragging rights in the 2020 campaign season.
But that didn't happen.
This week Time Magazine announced that the winner of the high honor for 2019 was someone who actually deserved it: 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg of Sweden. Trump, never a graceful loser, immediately took to Twitter to the insult the child who had snatched his award. He had this to say:
(That's called "projection," where a person with a psychological or emotional issue - such as chronic anger - tries to project his own issue onto someone else. Trump uses projection almost daily to deal with people who try to keep him tethered to reality.)
Social media, in particular, got wound up over Trump insulting a child - just days after Melania had been in such a huff because a congressional impeachment witness had simply mentioned Barron Trump in citing an example of the differences between presidents and kings. Melania, not surprisingly, had nothing to say about her husband brazenly insulting a child over Twitter.
But a former First Lady of the United States did have something to say. Michelle Obama posted this tweet to Greta:
Yes, we are!
Michelle's response was a pitch-perfect rebuke of Trump the Bully, but it probably wasn't necessary. Young Miss Thunberg appears more than capable of handling a low-intellect primate like Trump. She has already changed her Twitter bio to read:
Touche, Fat Boy! You have just had your large, flabby butt nailed to the floor by a sixteen-year-old girl! Maybe you can use that in your campaign!

"@GretaThunberg, don't let anyone dim your light. Like the girls I've met in Vietnam and all over the world, you have so much to offer us all. Ignore the doubters and know that millions of people are cheering you on!"
Yes, we are!

"A teenager working on her anger management problems. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend."
