Trump Tries To Come For Chrissy Teigen And John Legend When She Didn't Send For Him

Teigen, a model, author and an iconic Lady of the Clapback Realm, gathered President Twitter Fingers by his toupee expeditiously.
Hilarious! John Legend Gives Drunken Performance Of ‘All Of Me’ For Wife Chrissy Teigen

President Donald Trump got in his feelings on Sunday night over an MSNBC town hall and decided it would be a good idea to blast a variety of people – including model, author, and television personality Chrissy Teigen and her husband John Legend.

That was his first, and last mistake.

It all began when Trump started venting about the criminal justice reform town hall that was aired on MNSBC – put off by the fact that the network didn’t credit him or other Republicans for signing the First Step Act into law.

“I SIGNED IT INTO LAW,” Trump tweeted. “No one else did, [and] Republicans deserve much credit.

“When all of the people pushing so hard for Criminal Justice Reform were unable to come even close to getting it done, they came to me as a group and asked for my help.” he added. “I got it done with a group of Senators & others who would never have gone for it. Obama couldn’t come close….”

….A man named @VanJones68, and many others, were profusely grateful (at that time!). I SIGNED IT INTO LAW, no one else did, & Republicans deserve much credit. But now that it is passed, people that had virtually nothing to do with it are taking the praise. Guys like boring…..

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 9, 2019

And then he went on to attack singer and EGOT holder Legend, who appeared in the townhall, as well as Teigen herself…for some reason.

Tonight at 7pm PT/10pm ET, I will be joining @LesterHoltNBC for an @NBCNews Town Hall on @MSNBC to discuss our country’s broken criminal justice system. Follow @LetsFreeAmerica to learn more about my work to end mass incarceration. #JusticeForAll pic.twitter.com/9DFySXsgDY

“Guys like boring musician [John Legend], 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,” Trump raved. “‘Anchor’ [Lester Holt] doesn’t even bring up the subject of President Trump or the Republicans when talking about it.”

…..the importance or passage of Criminal Justice Reform. They only talk about the minor players, or people that had nothing to do with it…And the people that so desperately sought my help when everyone else had failed, all they talk about now is Impeaching President Trump!

Notice that Trump didn’t directly tag Teigen the way he tagged Legend. And on the one hand, perhaps he couldn’t rub the brain cells together to remember Teigen’s name.

On the other hand, maybe it was a bit of self-preservation on his part , as anyone who knows Teigen knows that she is an esteemed Lady of the Clapback Realm, and as such, Teigen gathered the president by his toupee most expeditiously.

“Lol what a p–sy a– b-tch,” Teigen tweeted. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.”

But she didn’t stop there, oh no, she tweeted a picture of her decorating her daughter’s first day of school sign reminiscing, “Luna, remember the night before your first day of school? When mommy was making your sign and the p–sy a– b-tch president had his 9th meltdown of the day.”

lol what a pussy ass bitch. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.

Then Tiegen hit Trump with the Mean Girls “Why are you so obsessed with me?” noting in another tweet “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 b-tch,” she added.

Like any supportive husband, Legend also quickly jumped into the fray, begging first lady Melania Trump to come get her man.

“Imagine being president of a whole country and spending your Sunday night hate-watching MSNBC hoping somebody–ANYBODY–will praise you. Melania, please praise this man. He needs you,” Legend wrote.

“Your country needs you, Melania,” he quipped.

— John Legend (@johnlegend) September 9, 2019

Ah yes, Melania is otherwise occupied. My apologies, @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/aNWgNsS34a

— John Legend (@johnlegend) September 9, 2019

And now currently #filthymouthedwife and #TeamChrissy are both trending in the United States

There was a moment when the hashtag #PresidentPussyAssBitch surfaced, although Legend and Teigen claimed that they “didn’t” want the hashtag to trend.

no guys no please do not make this trend, for it is my fight with #PresidentPussyAssBitch, not yours!!!!!! https://t.co/hSJ0UxjbaO

— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) September 9, 2019

Please don't make this foul mouthed hashtag trend #PresidentPussyAssBitch https://t.co/TMaq58hzIx

— John Legend (@johnlegend) September 9, 2019

.@twitter won't let Twitter be great. I understand. #PresidentPussyAssBitch is vile and absolutely should not trend.
