Chrissy Teigen, an American model, television personality and author, launched a Twitter outburst after being called out by US President Donald Trump on the heels of a Sunday night special on MSNBC about criminal justice, that featured her husband John Legend.
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

She followed up her post with another tweet, adding a snapshot of herself as she made a chalkboard sign celebrating the start of her daughter Luna's second year of preschool:
Luna, remember the night before your first day of school? When mommy was making your sign and the pussy ass bitch president had his 9th meltdown of the day pic.twitter.com/ZFZHJYrDPG

Legend also took a shot at Trump, as he addressed a plea to the First Lady, Melania Trump:
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.

US President Donald Trump had gone on Twitter just before midnight Sunday to vent about not getting enough credit for the passage of criminal justice reform legislation, and took the opportunity to lash out at Teigen and her husband, John Legend.
Trump’s ire had been sparked by a Sunday night special on MSNBC: a town hall about criminal justice that featured Legend.
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. 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.....

....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. “Anchor”@LesterHoltNBC doesn’t even bring up the subject of President Trump or the Republicans when talking about....

Both John Legend and his spouse Chrissy Teigen have been outspoken critics of the US President.
