In the clipping that has gone viral the teenage environment activist was seen have a curious look on her face that changed the instant she realised that Trump arrived at the scene.
Just a few minutes before the moment, the 16-year-old gave a fiery speech calling out all the world leaders and letting out her anger and frustration over their inaction on tackling the greenhouse gas emissions. "We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth - how dare you!" she said in an emotional speech at the summit.
The glaring moment was widely shared on Twitter where the Twitterati could sense the mood of the picture.

The abuse Greta Thunberg has to endure from climate deniers is a disgrace. This little girl is incredibly brave to stand there and take on people like Trump.

Some users also mocked the US President in reponse for his rant of not winning the Nobel Prize.
When Greta Thunberg wins a Nobel Peace Prize, Trump can cry about it in prison while contemplating about all the wrong choices he made in life.

The US president did not speak at the climate summit but took to Twitter to what looked like a sly jibe on the activist, calling her "a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future."
