Greta Thunberg 'death stare' at Donald Trump at UN goes viral: Twitterati reacts to 'relatable' moment when US president walks past teen climate activist

Just after her fiery speech at the United Nations Summit on climate change, a video of the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg giving a “death stare” to US President Donald Trump, when the two crossed paths at the United Nations on Monday, went viral triggering reactions and memes on social media. The  **climate activist Greta Thunberg**  delivered a powerful and emotionally-charged speech at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York Monday. Thunberg told member nations participating at the Summit that the young generation will “never forgive” them if they fail to act on climate change deftly.

“I shouldn’t be standing here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean,” she started. Thunberg further said that her dreams and childhood are being stolen due to the “empty words” of world leaders on climate change.

Later that day, Thunberg fixed a ‘steady stare’ on Trump when he arrived to attend a meeting on religious freedom. The video of Greta changing her expressions to that of frustration and anger on seeing Trump went viral. After the video was widely circulated on social media, let’s take a look at some of the reactions of what Twitterati had to say: “Quite relatable!” said Julián Castro, the US Democratic presidential contender, tweeting the video.

I think a lot of us can relate.
