KEY POINTS

  • Michelle Obama shows support to Greta Thunberg.
  • Michelle Obama praised for bringing people up. 
  • Michelle Obama encouraged to run for president. 

Michelle Obama recently tweeted her support to Greta Thunberg after the activist was bullied by President Donald Trump.

“Don’t let anyone dim your light. Like the girls I’ve met in Vietnam and all over the world, you have so much to offer us all. Ignore the doubters and know that millions of people are cheering you on,” the ex-FLOTUS wrote.

Shortly after, Barack Obama’s wife was praised for her good leadership skills. Her supporters are pleased with how she is building people up instead of tearing them down.

“This is why Michelle Obama is the only FLOTUS we acknowledge. Her grace can’t be plagiarized,” Twitter user @BreakandEnterTV said.

“I miss this kind of leadership,” Twitter user @shawnchristmas wrote.

“We miss you, Michelle Obama! We miss your integrity, decency, intelligence, and wisdom,” Twitter user @TovarishTrump said.

“This is how a real first lady acts, thank you,” Twitter user @denisewu wrote.

Meanwhile, other supporters urged Barack’s wife to return to the White House.

“Come back,” Twitter user @EyeLikeVeggies said.

“I’d vote for you,” Twitter user @BrianSConverse said.

“Michelle, we need your voice now more than ever,” Twitter user @greerwesterink said.

“I wish you’d run for president!” Twitter user @judy3430 said.

As of late, Thunberg has not yet responded to the former first lady’s tweet. But the 16-year-old talked about her political stand.

She said that a lot of people call her political, but she doesn’t support any party, politician, or ideology.

“I communicate the science and the risks of failing to act on it. And the fact that the politics needed don’t exist today, neither to the right, left, not the center. If anyone thinks that what I and the science are saying is advocating for a political view – then that says more about that person than about me. That being said – some are certainly failing more than others,” she tweeted.
