A regular on Twitter replies

This is not the first time that the environmental activist has modified her Twitter account to make humor, or to respond to criticism. The teenager had already ironicized in late September about words from Donald Trump concerning her. She then presented herself in her biography on Twitter as "a very happy young girl who is looking towards a bright and wonderful future", taking up verbatim the statements of the American president.

Last October, the Swedish teenager also mocked the statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin. She then presented herself in her Twitter bio as a “kind but ill-informed teenager” with reference to the spikes launched by Vladimir Putin.
