"I find most personal attacks on teen Swedish climate activist and newly minted TIME Person of the Year Greta Thunberg to be boorish, tactless and unnecessary. Even more so when the leader of the free world is up in early hours of the morning tweeting about her simply out of what appears to be press envy. President Trump’s weird obsession with TIME magazine transcends decades, so his latest jab at Thunberg is unsurprising.
What’s even less surprising is the media reaction to the president’s tweet instructing Greta to ‘chill out’. With almost coordinated uniformity, staffers of the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and CBS to name but a few, felt the need to highlight Thunberg’s Asperger syndrome in their response to Trump, something the president has yet to mention himself in his juvenile attacks on her.
The game with Thunberg’s handlers and allies in the media here is all too obvious: prop up a socially awkward teenage child to preach about their social or political issue (in this case, worldwide global apocalypse), hand her pages of words to speak on stage, wait for the response from those who oppose her overzealous political ideology, and then feign outrage that their critiques are directed at a fragile child with a socially debilitating disorder. How dare you! It’s a clever, if not all-too-transparent trick designed to satisfy their own id, rather than convince others to join their cause."

The NRA’s next spokesperson should be a teenager - The Spectator World
A new teen NRA spokeperson could create Instagram Stories and TikToks explaining how gun violence has been on a 30-year down trend and is not an emergency
