'Chill Donald, chill!': Greta Thunberg takes a dig at Trump and tells him to work on his anger management in tweet - nearly a year after he told her to do exactly the same when she was named Time's Person of the Year
Greta Thunberg poked fun at President Donald Trump on Thursday as he continued to call for vote counting to stop in the US presidential election.
In a tweet Thursday morning, Trump wrote: 'STOP THE COUNT!'
Mimicking a tweet Trump directed at her last year, the 17-year-old suggested he should 'chill'.
Responding to the president's tweet, Thunberg wrote: 'So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!'

Greta Thunberg poked fun at President Donald Trump on Thursday as he continued to call for vote counting to stop in the US presidential election
In a tweet Thursday morning, Trump wrote: 'STOP THE COUNT!' Thunberg then said: 'So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!'
Trump has attracted widespread criticism for his reaction to the election, which on Thursday remained too close to call nearly two days after polls closed.
His rival, Joe Biden, has narrowed the gap in a number of undecided swing states as mail-in ballots, which have generally skewed Democratic, are slowly added to the in-person votes, which went to Trump in larger numbers.
The president falsely claimed victory in the election and said without evidence that a 'fraud on the American nation' was being carried out.
Thunberg's tweet to Trump on Thursday was a near word-for-word parody of Trump's words, which he wrote last December after the environmental campaigner was named Person Of The Year by Time Magazine.
In response to that tweet, the teenager updated her Twitter bio to read: 'A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.'
Thousands of Twitter users rushed to applaud Thunberg after she changed her bio to mock Trump.
At the time he tweeted: 'So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!'
Thunberg became Time's youngest-ever Person of the Year in 2019.

The teenager who has Asperger's syndrome is the face of the youth climate movement, drawing large crowds with her appearances at protests and conferences since 2018.
Her accusations that world leaders are failing the younger generation have made headlines, including her shouts of 'How dare you?' during the UN General Assembly in 2019.
Trump, who has withdrawn the US from the Paris Climate Treaty, has said he doesn't believe global warming is mainly caused by humans.
During the 2016 campaign he claimed it was a 'hoax' promoted by China in order to gain economic advantage over the United States.
Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal told the Today show: 'She became the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet this year, coming from essentially nowhere to lead a worldwide movement.'
Politicians have mostly praised Thunberg and her movement as an important voice of her generation.
Time named Thunberg its 2019 Person of the Year, putting her above Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
