President Trump derided 17-year-old Greta Thunberg while speaking today (2/29) at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), mentioning his disappointment that Thunberg, a Swedish climate activist, was named Time magazine's "Person of the Year" in 2019.

Trump had previously won the designation in 2016, as several newly elected presidents have in the past.

"This year I lost to Greta," Trump said to a booing crowd. "I said, 'Who?'"

Though Trump brought up Thunberg during his speech at CPAC, he noted that he wouldn't dwell on the subject (again).

“I’m not going to get involved with that because last time I got into a little trouble,” Trump said at CPAC. “That doesn’t matter. I won it -- "Person of the Year" -- enough.”

Trump previously mocked Thunberg on Twitter, after which he faced backlash from several Democrats, including 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

Trump also attacked Thunberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last month.

“I don’t really know anything about her,” Trump said of Thunberg.

1. What a fucking baby.

[Pachamama]

4. He really is

[napi21]

2. Who the hell told him he was even in the running? I can think of a lot of people who would have

been way ahead of the JA for such an honor.

3. Trump told us ...

Trump told us the Prime Minister of Japan put Trump's name in.
The PM said no, he nominated someone from Japan.

[JDC]

8. I thought that was for the Nobel prize...

Either way, he is a master's class in small and petty existence. He will spend his remaining days the same sad little man he's spent a lifetime trying to mask. Can't buy lifts for the soul Donnie.

[EndlessWire]

27. I like it.

That's a good line.

[left-of-center2012]

31. Your right ! n/t

[Warpy]

17. All his fluffers undoubtedly told him they were lobbying hard for him

And quite frankly, I'm surprised they didn't make up a stack of mockup covers on that issue for him. It's not like he's going to read the article and he's certainly not going to visit a newsstand to see the real thing.

Since they're as dumb as he is, they probably didn't think of it.

[nature-lover]

5. I used to have a petty, negative person in my life. Totally walked away 4 years ago.

Great decision. Hopefully, we can all do this with the president* soon.

[Scarsdale]

24. We need an ADULT in the WH,

surrounded by competent adults in all top positions. The ONLY way we can have that, is to vote DEMOCRATIC. The republicans have shown time and again that they are incapable of running the country, without running up high deficits, and cutting services. Why did they think a failed reality "star" bogus millionaire could handle the job? As long as their wealthy donors get tax breaks, nothing else matters. tRump is now the bright orange face of the gop. A clown in lifts, with bouffant hair.

6. I take great solace in knowing this drives him nuts

Losing to her eats him alive inside. His bringing it up randomly, and suggesting he doesn't know who she is, assures us that he has spent many angry hours stewing in the pity pot.

Eat shit dotard.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. "Asshole of the Century" is yours, Donald, and

maybe of all time.

[milestogo]

35. +1000

[CaptYossarian]

9. Wait until he loses to his 2020 opponent.

[oldsoftie]

40. THAT reaction will be interesting.

[SummerSnow]

10. all is not lost, he can still make a fake Time magazine cover like he did before.

[keithbvadu2]

19. You beat me to it. Good one!

You beat me to it.

Good one!

To adorn his golf club walls.

[Grokenstein]

11. I picture him shrieking and throwing his bowl of num-nums across the kitchen.

But then, I picture him doing that every day ending in "y."

[IronLionZion]

12. He's really going to bemoan losing to a Democrat for president

what a jealous buffoon

[mahina]

13. Scrape him off your shoe Greta

And walk on.

[EndlessWire]

28. LOL! n/t

[Xipe Totec]

14. As if he came in second. nt

[mmbrevo]

15. Oh FFS!

If he had won, it would have been for negative reasons.

[TeamPooka]

16. Trump attacks child. Better headline

[Capt. America]

18. A 73 year old man-child. Baby Huey.

[MissMillie]

20. Here's what I don't get

He's at CPAC, in a room full of (presumably) donors who spent money to see him.

The stock portfolios of these donors just took a nose-dive. Unless people and businesses can be reassured that everything possible is being done to confront the threat of corvid-19, the market isn't going to come back any time soon.

These donors HAVE to be concerned about that.

And he stands up and, once again, pulls this "me, me, me, me, me, me.... " crap.

How is it that the people in that room don't recognize that there's nothing in his platform, policies, actions, words, etc. in it for THEM?

Everything is ALL about HIM!

Why would even THIS crowd give one iota about whether or not he was Time's "Person of the Year?"

And yet they turn around and give him their money?

[xxqqqzme]

21. It isn't a

contest you addled brain buffoon.

Continue your ham fisted approach to the current health crisis though and you might get 2020 cover

[rickyhall]

30. What was wondering; do people compete for Person of the Year?

He might get "Biggest Dick of the Year", if it was available.

[left-of-center2012]

32. "Biggest Dick of the Year"

Not from what the hookers have told us.

[keithbvadu2]

36. And subject matter expert Little Marco Rubio.

[rickyhall]

39. Not about what he has but what he is.

[Vinca]

22. It's clear he still hasn't heard about the Obamas and the Academy Award.

[llashram]

23. Between

President Obama's accomplishments and Ms Thunberg's, this failure as a POTUS is going to be gnashing his dentures for the rest of his life I imagine. The better two persons are noted and the less person is summarily dismissed.

[Firestorm49]

25. The fool just doesn't realize that he is completely undeserving of the award.

[Sanity Claws]

26. We're facing coronavirus, drop in the Stock Market, disruption of supply chains

and he complains about losing out to a teenager for a Time cover.
What priorities!

[turbinetree]

29. So you go around disparaging a 17 year old by stating that you really don't know her

well the country knows you, your a fucking liar, a pathological narcissistic malignant psychopath, sexual predator, and the best one a fucking traitor to the country asshole......................that is what I know of you...........................

and you should be in fucking jail.........................

[paleotn]

33. Dude...dude....

It's not a popularity contest, you idiot. Hitler and Khomeini made the cut. Joe Stalin did it twice! Nice company.

[captain queeg]

34. Braying jackass.

[Stuart G]

37. Trump said this yesterday..2/29..Solid Proof that Trump is "NUTS", "GONE", "LOST, OFF THE WALL",

"ETC."

[left-of-center2012]

38. He's mentioned it at least 3 different times

While claiming he really doesn't care.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

41. Oh FFS

Man up you 70+ year old baby.

[Marcuse]

42. "HOW DARE YOU!"

[Skittles]

43. imagine, an award given to someone who gives us hope

as opposed to someone who THRIVES on hate rallies
