So it shows who really has the true power? A tiny little man with a big problem or a young girl with a smaller one? Such that he really feels the need to engage with her?

He lacks a sense of proportion, ie, responding when he needn't.Such that he really feels the need to engage with her?
But the real question is, “how does that joke make you feel?”

Or at all? I'm sure his advisors could think of more useful things to be doing.
Some people pay less heed to advisors than others.
Yah dont say!!!
Never mind. Can't wait for the next US president if Trump is the prototype for all following ones.

As if Greta doesn’t have a cabal of advisers.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
As if that makes anything she has to say less factually accurate
But it does mean that she's hardly a babe in the woods.
She can handle what politicians & the media throw at her.

So apparently Melania believes Greta deserved the attack from Donald:
Melania Trump Thinks Greta Thunberg Had POTUS Attack Coming
Yeah. Blame the victim. We all know the geeks deserve to be bullied in school. It's their own fault. They had it coming.

The article doesn't support the claim of its title.
Moreover, where's the bullying?
Or is all criticism now "bullying"?

This is not the first video I have seen where she has been unable to answer simple questions about her specialist subject.

You're right. My bad.
Accusing someone of having anger problems isn't criticism of a person's views, opinions, or even the topic. Greta was picked for person of the year, and Trump's response is to deal with her anger and chill out... Hardly criticism of the pick or her views, but a criticism of her person. That's how bullying usually works. Attack the person, not the issue.
The good thing in all this is that it hasn't bothered Greta a bit. I suspect she thinks it's just funny. She's getting world attention from Trump. Probably the best thing for her media presence. Donald is just falling for it. Donald has played media for years, and now a kid is beating him in his own game. Amazing. The most powerful person in the world is mentioning her name. Can't get more attention than that. LOL!
It strikes me that calling it "bullying" is an over-reach...a mis-labeling
designed to worsen its appearance. It's useful when substance is lacking.
Reminds me of those accusing (with allusion) Bernie Sanders of anti-semitism.
Trump's response is bad enuf without feigning outrage over a fiction.

Maybe, but it is ridiculing someone though. He is making fun of her, isn't he? Or is he being serious? Either case, it's a personal attack.
I wouldn't know about Sanders. He's not in my sphere of interest. Trump is though.
Anyway, regardless, there's free speech and Trump can say whatever he wants. It's just a matter of showing the world what kind of person he is. He has history of ridiculing people, calling them names, and making accusations, just to paint them in a bad light and in effect make himself look good... or so he thinks.
No disagreement here.
