'We're clean and beautiful': Trump tells Greta Thunberg to save climate advice for other countries John Gage
"We want to have the cleanest water on earth. We want to have the cleanest air on earth," the president said during a Wednesday news conference after he was asked about Thunberg. "Our numbers, as you saw, we had record numbers come out very recently. Our numbers are very, very good. Our environmental numbers, our water numbers, our numbers on air are tremendous."
"We're clean and beautiful," Trump added, but said things need to be done to clean up other countries. "You have another continent where the fumes are rising at levels that you can't believe. I mean, I think Greta ought to focus on those places."

Trump also said during the press conference that he "would have loved to have seen" Thunberg speak at the conference. He additionally mentioned that "she beat me out on Time magazine" in reference to her being recognized as the 2019 "Person of the Year."
On Tuesday, the president said at the conference that he did not know "anything about" the climate activist but called her a "very angry person." He has previously ripped her on social media, saying last month that she "must work on her anger management problem."
