Trump's Campaign Tweeted a Doctored Time Magazine Cover of Trump's Head on Greta Thunberg's Body, and People Are Cringing Hard
12 December 2019

Much to President Donald Trump's chagrin, 16 year old climate activist Greta Thunberg was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year.
Both the President and his son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted to complain about the decision, with Trump—in the middle of over 100 tweets or retweets over the course of Thursday—tweeting that Thunberg should 'take care of her anger management problem.'
It wasn't long before Trump's campaign made matters even more ridiculous.
<p>The campaign tweeted a photo of the Time Magazine cover with Trump's head superimposed over Thunberg's, replacing text that read "The power of youth" with "The power of promises kept." The campaign also included a list of Trump's supposed accomplishments.</p><p><strong>It was truly bizarre.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
