Donald Trump Tweets Hate at Chrissy Teigen
by EG
Donald Trump was up late Sunday night watching cable TV, and he didn't like what he saw. Specifically, he didn't like that he wasn't praised in connection with prison reform legislation. So he tweeted some shade at Chrissy, although he referred to her as John Legend's "filthy mouthed wife." Read on for details.
Via People.
In a series of tweets not long before midnight on Monday, President Donald Trump — sleepless and seemingly in a foul mood — targeted John Legend and Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen, for what he said was a failure to give him enough credit for supporting criminal justice reform.
Both Legend and Teigen responded to the attack with, basically, social media side-eye.
“Melania, please praise this man. He needs you,” Legend, 40, answered Trump’s criticism in part.
Addressing her young daughter with Legend, Teigen tweeted, “Luna, remember the night before your first day of school? When mommy was making your sign and the p—- ass bitch president had his 9th meltdown of the day.”
the absolute best part of his tweet is I literally didn't speak in the special, nor was I mentioned. I'm cackling at the pointless addition of me because he cannot not be a bitch pic.twitter.com/9ZkV7bh4FA

Trump’s ire was evidently touched off by a Sunday night special on MSNBC: a town hall about criminal justice, with NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt and featuring Legend.
“I got it [criminal justice reform] done with a group of Senators & others who would never have gone for it,” Trump tweeted, adding, “[P]eople that had virtually nothing to do with it are taking the praise. Guys like boring musician @johnlegend, and his filthy mouthed wife, are talking now about how great it is – but I didn’t see them around when we needed help getting it passed.”
I love you guys https://t.co/oQIaeBdxF1

Teigen, 33 — as comfortable on Twitter as Trump and a ninja with the clapback — responded, “The absolute best part of his tweet is I literally didn’t speak in the special, nor was I mentioned. I’m cackling at the pointless addition of me because he cannot not be a bitch.”
In another rejoinder to Trump, who labeled her “filthy mouthed,” Teigen told her followers, “No guys no please do not make this trend, for it is my fight with #PresidentP—-AssBitch, not yours!!!!!!”
