   Greta Thunberg won't meet with Trump: 'I

   One storm will put this ignorant millennial debris where it   
   belongs.  Deep in the ocean as fish shit.   
      
   Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg dismissed the idea of   
   meeting with President Trump when she appeared on “The Ellen   
   DeGeneres Show” on Friday.   
      
   “Would you sit down with him [Trump] to help him understand   
   climate change?” DeGeneres asked the 16-year-old.   
      
   "I don’t understand why I would do that," Thunberg responded   
   matter-of-factly, as the audience erupted in laughter. “"I don’t   
   see what I could tell him that he hasn’t already heard, and I   
   just think it would be a waste of time, really," according to   
   USA Today.   
      
   In September, Trump sarcastically praised the teen for her   
   activism, sharing a clip of her speech at the United Nations.   
   “She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a   
   bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!” the president   
   tweeted.   
      
   In the clip, Thunberg was scolding world leaders, adding that   
   the world was in the beginning of a “mass extinction” and that   
   all leaders could focus on was money.   
      
   "How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with   
   your empty words, and yet, I am one of the lucky ones,” she said.   
      
   After Trump's tweet, in what some described as a bit of   
   presidential trolling, she changed her Twitter bio to "A very   
   happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful   
   future."   
      
   Russian President Vladimir Putin also weighed in on Thunberg's   
   U.N. speech, saying she doesn't understand the complexities of   
   the modern world. "I may disappoint you but I don't share the   
   common excitement about the speech by Greta Thunberg," Putin   
   said, according to Reuters. "No one has explained to Greta that   
   the modern world is complex and different and ... people in   
   Africa or in many Asian countries want to live at the same   
   wealth level as in Sweden."
