CHRISSY TEIGEN SLAMS DONALD TRUMP ON HIS BIRTHDAY

Trump wasn't happy that Legend and Teigen were “talking now about how great” crime reform is but allegedly didn't act on the reforms when Trump claims that it mattered. Trump signed the First Step Act into law last year, reducing mandatory minimum sentences in certain instances and giving judges more discretion in individual cases. More than 3,100 inmates will be released under the act, which has been praised by both Republicans and Democrats.

TRUMP BLOCKS CHRISSY TEIGEN ON TWITTER
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Trump talked about criminal justice reform and how President “Obama couldn’t come close” to passing meaningful law. The president said he is tired of “boring musician John Legend” and his wife for touting the bill, which Legend discussed in a CNN special.
"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," Trump lamented.

Teigen mocked the president, calling him a “p—y a— b—h” for tagging “everyone” but her in his tweet. Legend sarcastically requested that followers not retweet Teigen's insult as a hashtag.
The couple has been fiercely critical of the president for years. The Grammy winner called Trump a “piece of s—t” and a "canker sore on the country" after the president’s criticism of Baltimore.
