Donald Trump insults John Legend's wife Chrissy Teigen, the couple give it back
Story highlights
Trump took to Twitter to call Chrissy, ‘John Legend's "filthy-mouthed wife"' over her rant on criminal justice reform.
The US President Donald Trump has started a Twitter war with singer John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen. While Chrissy has been quite vocal about her views on Trump and the way the government works, this time it was the president himself who raked up some bad blood.
Trump took to Twitter to call Chrissy, ‘John Legend's "filthy-mouthed wife"' over her rant on criminal justice reform. His tweet was in reference to MSNBC’s coverage of criminal justice reform.
Trump tweeted, "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 have never gone for it. [Barack] Obama couldn't even come close. A man named Van Jones, and many others, were profusely grateful (at that time!).”

.....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!

He continued, “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 John Legend and his filthy-mouthed wife, are talking about how great it is - but I didn't see them around when we needed help getting it passed."

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

John Legend responded too and wrote, “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.”
