Trump just trashed John Legend and his “filthy mouthed wife” in furious demand for more credit from media

The President of the United States has once again injected himself into a petty celebrity feud. Though he’s held the White House for close to a full term now, the man seems completely unable to shed his tawdry reality television roots and finds himself constantly at the center of pointless spats when what he should be doing is focusing on running the country.
Last night, he took to Twitter to attack John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, the famous singer and his model wife, both of whom have proven to be some of the most consistently outspoken critics of this administration. Trump whined that he and the GOP haven’t been getting enough credit for their efforts on criminal justice reform and took a shot at Obama for allegedly not doing enough on the topic.
The president complained that “boring musician” John Legend and his “filthy mouthed wife” have been praising the reforms even though they weren’t around when he passed them, presumably a reference to the First Step Act. The hypocrisy of Donald Trump, a man who was caught on tape bragging about sexual assault, calling Teigen (who is the wife in question) “filthy mouthed” is absurd even by his incredibly low standards.
Trump was apparently triggered by a town hall segment on NBC during which Legend spoke to Lester Holt about criminal justice reform. While it was a measured, adult conversation, the fact that Trump himself wasn’t repeatedly praised by name clearly got under our president’s infamously thin skin.
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….

…..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!

It didn’t take Teigen long to respond, and she showed the president just how “filthy mouthed” she can be, calling him a “p*ssy ass b*tch” and sarcastically saying it was an honor to be included in his tweet even if she wasn’t mentioned by name. She repeated the insult in several followup tweets, even hashtagging it, and added how funny she finds it that Trump got angry with her even though she didn’t speak during the town hall special.
lol what a pussy ass bitch. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.

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

Legend responded as well, using less colorful but no less accurate words. He pointed out how truly pathetic it is that Trump, the President of the United States, is sitting around, watching TV, just waiting for someone to praise him. He jokingly urged First Lady Melania to praise him because he clearly “needs it.”
One can only imagine how infuriated Trump will be once he sees how brutally the power couple tore into him. It would have been wise to just leave them alone in the first place as they are so obviously more than a match for him and his rapidly deteriorating mind.
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.
