Donald Trump has a long history with Time magazine. For most of his life, he was completely desperate to get on the cover, an obsession that led to the sad discovery that he or someone close to him had created a fake issue of the magazine with his face on it and the headline “Trump Is Hitting on All Fronts...Even TV!”, framed it, and displayed it in numerous clubs he owned. In 2016, he was finally named person of the year, which, it should be noted, is a distinction the periodical gives to a person, group, idea, or thing that “for better or for worse...has done the most to influence the events of the year,” emphasis ours.

The fact that Donald Trump, the least chill person to ever live—and possibly the angriest!—is telling someone else to chill.

This isn’t the first time Trump, who is very busy and important, has taken time out of his day to mock Thunberg, the previous instance being in September. Nor is he the first of his name to take issue with the pick. Yesterday the president’s oldest and arguably dumbest child, sheep killer Donald Trump Jr., got his knickers in a twist about Time’s decision, because toolishness is an inherited trait:
