The comics congratulate Greta Thunberg and criticize her detractor in Best of Late Night.

President Donald Trump disparaged a 16-year-old on Twitter. Yes, you read that correctly. After Swedish, teen activist Greta Thunberg was named Time magazine's Person of the Year, Trump told her to resolve her "anger management" issues and "chill." 

Is this a sign of the times we live in? I would hope not. But late-night comic Jimmy Fallon says it is, in a way. It's sign of "strange times," he says. What makes it so strange? Well, aside from the obvious? Fallon breaks it down (and comments on the first lady) in today's Best of Late Night, above. 

What else should be noted about Trump's tweet? That he, of all people, would lecture someone on anger management. Trevor Noah shows us why Trump and namaste just don't go together.
