Chrissy Teigen originally found fame as a model, and now she's one of the most popular celebrities on social media. People love her hilarious clap-backs, heartfelt messages, and candid reflections on pregnancy. Her looks are stunning, but her words are even...stunning-ier. Sorry. I'm good with words, but I'm no Chrissy Teigen.
Of course, while we love Chrissy's sassy comments, it's not so fun when she takes a shot at you. In fact, Donald Trump was so offended by one of her replies that he blocked her from Twitter. And it wasn't even one of her most savage tweets! For example, in February 2017, she joked he was "evil."

And in June 2017, she told him to "grow the f--- up."

But the tweet that finally made him hit 'block'? She wrote "nobody likes you." Clearly, that struck a chord. (What a snowflake!)

In May, a federal judge ruled that it is unconstitutional for the president to block critics on Twitter because it violates the First Amendment. But since the White House is appealing the ruling, I'm guessing all those critics are still blocked. Well, Chrissy Teigen doesn't need Twitter to troll the president. Today she got him an amazing "gift" for his 72nd birthday: A large donation to the American Civil Liberties Union.

The ACLU is a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States." According to critics, the Trump administration's policies have been harmful to reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, immigrants' rights, and more.
So, Chrissy announced on Instagram that their family donated $288,000 to the ACLU. Why $288,000? Because it's Donald Trump's 72nd birthday, and that's four $72,000 donations from each member of their family. (The couple has two kids, two-year-old daughter Luna and three-week-old son Miles.) They encouraged their followers to join them, and donate $7.20, $72, or whatever they like.
In the note, Chrissy explained that they were motivated by the heartbreaking stories of children being separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border:
"John and I are outraged to see and hear the horror stories of immigrant families seeking asylum and refuge in America being ripped apart due to the inhumane policies of the Trump administration. These actions are cruel, anti-family and go against everything we believe this country should represent.
"On this auspicious occasion, in order to Make Trump’s Birthday Great Again, each member of our family has donated $72,000 to the ACLU."

Well, that's a thoughtful gift, but I doubt President Trump will send them a thank you card. I wonder how he's celebrating his birthday... Eating 72 Big Macs? Playing 72 rounds of golf? Having a 72 minute Skype call with his new BFF, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un? It's hard to say. But if you'd like to send him well wishes, you could follow Chrissy & John's lead.

Chrissy Teigen is known for her wry and witty commentary on social media, being increasingly outspoken on everything from Donald Trump's controversial policies to the realities of postpartum life. The model and co-host of Lip Sync Battle is also not one to to take internet trolls laying down. Case in point: Chrissy recently eviscerated a troll who had the nerve to criticise her haircut.

Chrissy took to Instagram to post a photo from her appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, and one of her followers had the audacity to write, "You look beautiful but you should grow your hair long again. Girls with round faces should not have short hair like that. It makes your face look huge. Been there….believe me….LONG HAIR."
Of course, Chrissy's response was incredible. "Honestly wow thank you because when I wake up each morning I wonder what @bcnjw would do and then I try to make her happy so this was a mistake on my part," she replied.
Burn.

The mother-of-two isn't adverse to some trolling herself. Last week, Chrissy expertly trolled John Legend on their wedding anniversary, because they're just such #CoupleGoals.
"12 years ago today, I met the man of my dreams. And 5 years ago today, we got married," she wrote in the caption of a photo of her and John on their wedding day. "We have two babies and some pups and a life I am grateful to have. My everything, I love you and am so proud of the story we’ve created. But you are an a--hole for releasing your @nbcthevoice news on my target launch day for real."
Chrissy is, of course, referring to the news that her cookware line is launching in Target. The announcement came out at the same time as it was revealed that her husband, John Legend, would be joining The Voice as a coach. And this comes just days after news broke that he has become an EGOT - that is, someone who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award.
There's no doubt that John was laughing over the post as he celebrated a week full of milestones.

Chrissy recently dished out some marriage advice, revealing how she's managed to keep the spark alive for five years. "I think it’s really important to be complete partners in crime. I love the mentality of ‘us against the world'", she told Well + GOOD. "Even when you have kids, never forget your relationship as partners and lovers—that’s so important."
Chrissy and John welcomed their second child, Miles, back in May. The pair had been anxious to grow their family for some time. Last year, they chose to undergo a frozen embryo transfer in hopes of becoming pregnant again. And in January of 2017, before she even got pregnant with Miles, Teigen tweeted about the sex of the embryo that they would be using for their second child.

"Since this is coming up again, I said our next baby would be a boy because that is the embryo we have left. A boy. So. Yeah," the cookbook author wrote on Twitter.
The newborn joins the pair's two-year-old daughter, Luna Simone Stephens.
