Guest Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The Twitterverse lit up Monday morning over model Chrissy Teigen's response to an attack from President Donald Trump, an exchange that was heated even by the standards of his routine social media fights. The spat began when the President, apparently venting about a town hall on criminal justice reform that aired on MSNBC Sunday night, tweeted that he and other Republicans should be getting more credit for signing the First Step Act into law. The legislation, signed back in December, includes measures that allows thousands of federal inmates to leave prison earlier than they otherwise would have, eases some mandatory minimum sentences and gives judges more leeway in sentencing, among other things. It had support from lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle and received personal attention from Trump's son-in-law and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner. "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," the President tweeted late Sunday night. Then Trump went after singer and activist John Legend (who appeared in the MSNBC town hall) and his wife Teigen. "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," the President wrote. Teigen fired right back with a colorful insult of her own. By Monday morning, Chrissy Teigen, #TeamChrissy and #filthymouthedwife were all trending on Twitter. Legend criticized the President, too -- without the profanity -- by tweeting : Anthony Scaramucci, Trump's former communications director who has now disavowed the President, on Monday called the spat between Trump and the celebrity couple "despicable." "Have any of the other presidents in recent history -- modern history -- gone after their private citizens whether they're celebrities or not celebrities?" Scaramucci told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day." "(For) the last two and a half years this guy has acted like a bully, crazy person against his fellow citizens."

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Just remember who Trump attacks and doesn't. Because he sure isn't this crazy against Nazis and white supremacists. And that's why supporting him is so troublesome. 2020 is going to be crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine the Hall of Burning Tweets or in French, La Salle des Gazouillements* Brûlants *Yes, French just borrowed the word 'tweet', but using the French word for the English 'tweet' in its original meaning makes it seem more sophisticated and Louvre-y.

Zander 14,944 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I reckon Trump is bitter about the fact that Hollywood doesn’t like him because if more celebs were supporting him he’d without a doubt would be using it to his advantage but instead plays pretend dislike about Hollywood.
