BUT WHILE TRUMP MIGHT BE CLOSE
TO MAKING PEACE WITH THE TALIBAN, HE'S TAKING ON
AMERICA'S TRUE ENEMIES -- JOHN LEGEND AND CHRISSY TIEGEN.
( LAUGHTER ) JOHN LEGEND HAS LONG BEEN AN
ADVOCATE FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, AND ON SUNDAY HE
APPEARED ON AN MSNBC TOWN HALL WITH LESTER HOLT TO TALK ABOUT
IT, BROADCAST FROM A PRISON YARD.
APPARENTLY, THE PRESIDENT TUNED IN-- I ASSUME HE WAS HOPING TO
CATCH A GLIMPSE OF SOME OF HIS FORMER CAMPAIGN STAFF.
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
AND TRUMP WAS NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT HE SAW, BECAUSE HE WENT ON
AN EPIC TWEET RANT ABOUT THE SPECIAL.
BUCKLE UP.
( LAUGHTER ) "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.
BUT NOW THAT IT IS PASSED, PEOPLE THAT HAD VIRTUALLY
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT ARE TAKING THE PRAISE.
GUYS LIKE BORING DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT MUSICIAN
JOHN LEGEND, 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."
THAT'S ENOUGH, SIR!
I'VE WATCHED YOU DENIGRATE COUNTLESS AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS
BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT JOHN LEGEND AND CHRISSY TEIGEN!
HE IS AN EGOT!
EGOT!
EMMY GRAMMY OSCAR TONY!
AND SHE IS THE ONLY REASON ANYBODY TUNES INTO
"LIP SYNC BATTLE."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) SORRY, L.L. COOL J, IT'S BETTER
YOU HEAR IT FROM A FRIEND.
BUT IT WASN'T SOMETHING JOHN LEGEND SAID ON THE SPECIAL THAT
UPSET HIM, IT WAS WHAT WASN'T SAID --
"ANCHOR" @LESTERHOLTNBC DOESN'T EVEN BRING UP THE SUBJECT OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP OR THE REPUBLICANS WHEN TALKING ABOUT
DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT THE IMPORTANCE OR PASSAGE OF
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM.
THIS COULD BE THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY A MENTALLY-ILL PERSON IS
UPSET BECAUSE THE TV ISN'T TALKING TO THEM.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
TRUMP THINKS ALL OF TELEVISION SHOULD BE ABOUT HIM AT ALL
TIMES.
(AS TRUMP) "JUST WATCHED AN EPISODE OF
PROPERTY BROTHERS.
THEY REDID A BATHROOM, BUT NOT A MENTION OF ME, EVEN THOUGH I USE
BATHROOMS ALL THE TIME!
I'M IN ONE RIGHT NOW.
BORING DREW SCOTT AND HIS FILTHY-MOUTHED TWIN ARE TOTAL
LOSERS!" JOHN LEGEND SHOT BACK ON
TWITTER -- "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."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) NICELY DONE.
NICELY DONE, JOHN LEGEND.
I'M NOT SURE YOU'LL FIND MUCH COMPASSION FROM A WOMAN WHO, I
REMIND YOU, OWNS A COAT THAT SAYS, "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO
YOU?" YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WASN'T
MENTIONED ON THE MSNBC SPECIAL?
LEGEND'S WIFE, CHRISSY TEIGEN.
BUT TRUMP WENT AFTER HER ANYWAY, SO SHE RETURNED FIRE, TWEETING,
"L.O.L. WHAT A PUSSY ASS BITCH."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) SHE JUST BEAT TRUMP AT TWITTER
AND NICKNAMES.
BECAUSE THE HASHTAG #PRESIDENTPUSSYASSBITCH
STARTED TRENDING.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( PIANO RIFF )
SO CONGRATULATIONS, MR. PRESIDENT, NOW PEOPLE ARE
TALKING ABOUT YOU.
( LAUGHTER ) WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT.
CONDOLEEZZA RICE IS HERE.
BUT WHEN WE RETURN, ANOTHER BIDEN BLOOPER!
STICK AROUND.
