Say what you will about Greta Thunberg, but she certainly has a way with words:
The sad part, unfortunately, is that Trump’s acolytes don’t even care about coherence. They want displays of dominance instead. Which – fair is fair – is what you get with the guy. (If you care more about the displays than the actual dominance, that is.)
