(CNN Spanish) - Although it is not the first time that US President Donald Trump attacks the young climate change activist Greta Thunberg, this Thursday happened again. And it has not only happened with Trump, but also with the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

This is how Greta Thunberg has responded to the “bullies” who try to intimidate her.

"Relax, Greta, relax!"

"How ridiculous. Greta must work on her anger management problem and then go see a good old movie with a friend! Relax, Greta, relax! ”Trump tweeted the day the young Swedish activist was recognized as Person of the Year by Time magazine.

So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill! https://t.co/M8ZtS8okzE

And she, as she has shown in the past, was not going to remain silent. Thunberg responded to the US president by changing his Twitter biography.

“A teenage girl who works on her anger management problem. Currently relaxing and watching a good old movie with a friend, ”he described.

"Brat"

After Thunberg condemned the violence against indigenous people killed in the Amazon on Sunday, the Brazilian president followed Trump's footsteps and directly attacked the activist on Tuesday.

“Greta has said that the Indians died because they were defending the Amazon. It is surprising that the press gives space to this type of pirralha, ”Jair Bolsonaro told reporters in Brasilia.

Pirralha is a derogatory word in Portuguese that means "brat."

Thunberg responded by changing his Twitter biography to "pirralha".

“She seems like a very happy girl”

In an explosive and moving speech at the United Nations climate action summit, Greta Thunberg questioned world leaders for not doing enough to deal with the climate crisis by asking them "How dare they?"

Trump replied sarcastically on Twitter: “She looks like a very happy young woman with a bright and wonderful future. How nice to see her! ”

But the thing has not remained there. This Thursday, Greta made it clear in her Twitter account that although sometimes they call her "politics", she does not support any party, political character or ideology.

“I communicate science and the risks of failing in the act. And the truth is that the policies that are needed do not exist today, neither from the right, nor from the left, nor from the center, ”he tweeted.

“If someone believes that what I and science say is promoting a political stance, then that says more about that person than about me. Having said this: some are certainly failing more than others, ”he said.

If anyone thinks that what I and the science are saying is advocating for a political view - then that says more about that person than about me.
That being said - some are certainly failing more than others.
