Trump Jr slams Time for 'marketing gimmick' after Greta Thunberg named Person of the Year

16-Year- Old climate activist Greta Thunberg was named the Time Person of the Year and President Donald Trump's son Trump Jr was not at all happy and has called her a 'marketing gimmick'. Thunberg beat out people like Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Xi Jinping, 'The Whistleblower,' Megan Rapinoe, Jacinda Ardern, Mark Zuckerberg and the Hong Kong protestors.

'How dare you?'

Greta Thunberg has previously said that she has no desire to be seen as a celebrity and her actions are not for fame. But Trump Jr's ire did not seem meaningful to most people on social media. In the post that Trump Jr shared on Twitter, he seemingly believed that the Hong Kong protestors deserved to win. He states that the Hong Kong protesters are fighting for their lives and trying to protect democracy while he seems Greta just as a teen who is being exploited as a marketing gimmick.

But Trump Jr was not the only one who was unhappy with Greta Thunberg being named Times Person of the year.
