Greta Thunberg fights back tears while recalling emotional battle against Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Greta Thunberg was brought to tears recalling her public battles with former President Donald Trump over climate change. Thursday's PBS special Greta Thunberg: A Year to Change the World, documented her environmental activism and revealed the emotional hardship of her crusade. While Trump repeatedly has mocked her for being outspoken, Thunberg believes that caring is her greatest asset.

"I'm very emotional, I'm very small, and I'm very weak in a way," Thunberg said. "That's something I'm very proud of."

She recalled her time at the World Economic Forum in January 2020 and the dismissive speech that Trump delivered. In the speech, Trump referred to Thunberg and other environmental activists as "perennial prophets of doom." Thunberg still doesn't understand the vitriol towards people trying to make the planet more habitable for future generations.

"If you feel bad today, so many people are so sad and so depressed but that's a good thing because that means they still have empathy and they don't want to live in this world where we have lost empathy," Thunberg said while fighting back tears. "So many people come up to me and say they believe that there's something wrong with them because they are feeling like s***. But I think it's the opposite. It's the rest who can maintain living in this society where we only care about prestige, and these are shallow things that don't matter, and being the best and so on. Those are the people who are not normal."

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart, my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
The return to innocence
And if you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
It's the return to innocence

5. Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

and there is no mind more embarrassingly mediocre than the forever EX-president.

8. What an amazing young woman!

I am so glad I caught the show. I have always admired her but I've run out of words to describe how she makes my heart so full to see how passionate and committed she is to this cause.

Our country is such an embarrassment on the environmental protection front. I remember celebrating the very first Earth Day and I'm appalled at how we actually got worse instead of better in my lifetime. Where are the Gretas in our country?
